First, Lloyd Cole - Music in a Foreign Language

Then Fleetwood Mac - Tango in The Night

A gentle, mainstream start to a new day.

Got a bit bored of this (rather pointless) big Kraftwerk vinyl box set but I thought I would persevere with the last LP I've still left to listen to, Tour de France Soundtracks.

I fancied a bit of Frank, so here he is on a 1980 vinyl compilation LP:

A massive talent and another whose life was cut too short by poor choices...

It's not that long ago when I played this last but ummagumma has its strange appeal…

Simple Minds, Sons and Fascination and Sister Feelings Call, UK first press (I remember buying these two, packaged together, the day they came out in september 1981). Their best albums IMO - they were never as good as this again.

Loved this Album since I first heard it back on release

just purchased the new 180 grm vinyl, stunning recording, base and drums just jump out st you, vocals have a real focus another one for the vinyl vs high res recording debate but not here

the term album does not seem to do the songs on this master peace justice

Great album! Impeccable sound quality. Beautiful version of "Carnival".
Hook,
All the recordings on the Indian Navigation label were made with tube electronics.

That is interesting! My copy of "Spirit Sensitive" is the Analogue Productions reissue (AAPJ 020). Will have to check out India Navigation's back catalog.

Am also a fan of the elder Freeman. Always thought that Von had a unique sound, and have bought most of his records.

In Emily's case it was heroin, which I read somewhere that she used to calm her nerves in performance.

Now her fourth album as leader...
