    Got this album on vinyl on Monday. I had the CD but lost it some years back and just had the case which was so frustrating. Adding to the frustration it seems to be unusually difficult to find a digital copy of it for some reason.

    Really enjoyable listening back, not everyone's cuppa tea by any stretch but I just love Mike Paradinas's quirky style of music, nobody marries harsh distorted percussion with beautiful, whimsical melodies as good as this guy.

    Bought a few crates of wax off my buddy who is downsizing and moving to the sticks.
    This was one that I knew I'd like so played it through last night before bed.

    Check out Bogdan Raczynski and Chris Clark for other juxtaposition of harshness and melody. If you haven't already.

    Yeah I'm a big fan of Bodgan, have been for years and was even lucky enough to catch an Aphex Twin gig in Temple bar years agao where he was supporting along with Ovuca. My dream gig!

    Chris Clark I'm aware of but haven't really explored, I will do so now. Thanks!

    Ram - Paul & Linda McCartney


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Weezer - OK Human. Very little guitar. Strings recorded at Abbey Road. surprisingly good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Paris 1919 - John Cale.

    So different to the VU but brilliant.

    This is sublime:

    That's weird, I'm listening to 10cc right now and it's probably 25 years since I listened to them :eek:

    Office Politics by The Divine Comedy. Funny it's been possibly years since I listened to an album through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,171 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    The last album I listened to was No Need to Argue by The Cranberries.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 165 ✭✭FHFM50


    American Idiot

    Was never a fan of Green Day but credit where it's due. This album is incredible.

    Pacific Ocean Blue by Denis Wilson.

    I only heard this for the first time recently and it's a great sounding album. It definitely sounds of its time, but in a good way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,171 ✭✭✭Declan A Walsh


    The last album I listened to was Harvest Moon by Neil Young.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,064 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    The last album I listen to was Live and Dangerous.

    I’m sure I don’t have to say who it was by but just in case..:......... Thin Lizzy

    I heard their name mentioned on the wireless the other day and started reminiscing of a gig I went to probably about 10 years ago in the pod (or one of the venue rooms in that complex).
    I would be of a different generation to most 10cc fans and was actually surprised that they were still performing back then. Was a good gig and at least there was nobody shooting and rubber bullets at it :D

    Graham Gouldman, the only remaining original member, has kept the 10cc name going.

    A lost classic. Was very hard to get for a time in the 1990s but got a great 3LP and 2CD reissue in the 2000s.

    Mainstream. The third and final Lloyd Cole and The Commotions album.

    Underrated.

    Carrie and Lowell by Sufjan Stevens. One of the best albums of the 21st Century

    “Document” by REM. Really good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,960 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Johnny Hates Jazz - Turn Back The Clock
    Still a "calculated miseryfest" almost 33 years later. Great sounding album.
