I wouldn't normally got for compilations but this is a summary of the the UK scene 1988 - 1991 that was the chart alternative to Stock, Aitken, Waterman.

Great series. Ran for 23 volumes from 1987-1996.

That release is a best of the first 10 volumes (albeit there’s nothing from 1, 4 & 5) + one previously uncompiled track Bloodsport For All.

I love V/A compilations - have reviewed the entire Indie Top 20 series plus many more (including plenty chart & dance ones) - www.apopfansdream.wordpress.com

Future Islands - People Who Aren't There Anymore.

It's a bit more of the same from them, which I'm ok with, but they aren't exactly pushing the boat out.

I've been getting mostly trance and goa trance piecing together an electro set from Glastonbury 1995 but included that in an order because the bands were cool. Interlect 3000 and Schubert. About €3 a symphony.

It Was Triumph We Once Proposed…Songs of Jason Molina - Glen Hansard

Not listened to this before now, I'm a Jason Molina fan, meet and talked with him after a whelans gig which at the time was a massive moment for me. Not sure why it took me so long to get to this, loved this version of white sulfur, from the songs:ohia album of the same name, I don't really listen to that album too often, it's more like a song sketch book to me, some lovely ideas in it, but Hansard captured this track perfectly.

Black Pearl - 50 Foot Wave

(Side project for Kristin Hersh)

Another one from the sales, sticker on the front sezz :

"Cosmic American Music from the far flung reaches of rural Oregon. Issued in 1979 on Allan Wachs' own True Vine imprint, Mountain Roads and City Streets gathers a decade of songs written while hitchhiking up and down the west coast. Screeching pedal steel, lilting flute, and tingly dulcimer are peppered throughout Wachs' tales of brief affairs, invisible dogs, and getting lost in a changing America."

Genesis' self titled album from 1983.

Listening on Spotify, I don't own anything by Genesis.

That led me onto this.

A great album

The lamb lies down on Broadway

Side 1 of that Genesis self-titled LP is great. My favourite album of theirs is Duke followed by Selling England By The Pound. The 1977 live album Seconds Out is also excellent - Phil Collins sounds very like Peter Gabriel on the epic Supper’s Ready.

I wouldn't know much about them but I'm especially liking the Gabriel era the more of it I'm hearing.

I'm mellowing a lot the older I get ☺️

Side 1 is great, side 2 is terrible. I listened to a lot of Genesis in my teens, they've a lot of good stuff (both the Peter and Phil eras) but also a lot of crap, and their albums can be very hit and miss. The Lamb is pretty solid all the way through though, even if the "concept" is fairly impenetrable, and also their folky second album "Trespass". From the Phil era I like the "Abacab" album; Phil's first solo album is also really good.

The ones I like least are And Then There Were Three and that appalling juvenile debut From Genesis To Revelation. Even Calling All Stations has its moments.

Genesis (1983) is the first one I heard; don't mind side 2 that much but a bit of a step down. Lamb very solid as is Foxtrot. Trick Of The Tail very consistent and agree re Abacab (underrated). Invisible Touch despite all the pop touches works well- really like Domino and The Brazilian.

Yes, Face Value excellent debut.

I've only listened to it once but I didn't think the debut was that bad, it's sort of like early Bee Gees without the memorable tunes. Calling All Stations is terrible IMO, they really should have called it a day when Collins left.
