    Divine Conspiracy by Epica.

    Pretentious and bombastic, but a brilliant album.

    Sacred Reich - Surf Nicaragua.

    Another band to play the delightful McGonagles back in the day.

    Met the band who were as nice as pie outside before the gig.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    Mine's a little more battle weary blade - I couldn't tell you if we met them before or after the gig but with McGonagles it was usually after.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,537 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Yeah they were outside the front door a couple of hours before the gig.

    Got ticket signed as well by Greg, Wiley and Phil.

    New Blue Sun by André 3000.

    Still want to hear more of him rapping but this is nice and relaxing. Perfect to have in the background if you're doing something else. Not what I would have expected whatsoever from an album of his, though I'm also not surprised he would go in such a direction.

    Think music you would hear in the background of a New Age shop.

    Had a nasty virus all week so only recovering and beginning to enjoy music again today. Thankfully the day was lifted by Telefís, Emma Ruth Rundle, Brahms, Carlos Montoya and now Torn & Roho.

    Modjo by Modjo.

    One hit wonders but actually quite a decent album, like a more disco version of Homework by Daft Punk.

    The Wonder Stuff - Never Loved Elvis



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,621 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Listening to it right now.
    Gary Numan Intruder. Brilliant album.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,668 Mod ✭✭✭✭iamstop


    Billy Cobham - Picture This

    An '87 Jazz Funk underrated album.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Guided By Voices - La La Land



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    Funnily enough I was talking to a colleague over from London last night who told me he was in a band when he was 17 and they signed off copyright on a song they'd written (they got £500 each - a lot at the time to a bunch of teenagers) to The Wonder Stuff that ended up in on their album that made the top 20. Guess it was The Eight Legged Groove Machine? He could have been talking bollocks but recalled when he told his granny he was píssed when it made the album she said it's better being píssed off than píssed on.

    The Eight Legged Groove Machine reached #18 but the three subsequent albums made #5, #3 and #4 respectively.

    I wonder what song it was?

    Their 1989 concert in the SFX (Hup Tour) was oversold so the exit doors were open during the gig. Jammers.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,882 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Youthanasia by Megadeth.

    Their best album in my opinion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,718 ✭✭✭fluke


    I spent a while with some albums between yesterday and today (though I find my audio space taken up with podcasts lately).

    Having been on a bit of a JJ72 vibe of late I recently unearthed their debut album and this, I To Sky, their second one. I To Sky is a bit harder to get into, compared to the debut, and it feels like a band really trying to switch gears. It's growing on me though.


    False Lankum gets better with each listen. It really feels like I absorbed this album in misty (typically Irish) weather. I didn't realise until a couple of days ago that most, if not all of the songs are traditional folk songs/arrangements.

    Emily Wolfe was the support act for The Gasight Anthem here a couple of weekends ago, and it was the first time in a while where I felt a support act upstaged the main act. This is her latest, and she kind of reminds me of Julien Baker vocally a little and QOTSA in some places.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    Creedence. Best €3 to €5 you'll spend on a 70's second hand album.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    The New Vampire Weekend.

    Think it's great.

    Van Halen - 1984



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Manic Street Preachers - Lifeblood (20th Anniversary Edition)

    As I already own the original LP and the 2009 4 Real Japanese reissue, I went for the 3CD version. Underrated album & nice package.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    Not an album but there is no faulting genius

    This is an album and I'm definitely not jealous of the guitar playing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,237 ✭✭✭bullpost


    Have that 12" and it is magic. The remix is great as well as the main version.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Back in 1986, I got a 4-in-1 stereo with a CD player. Please was my first disc and the first time I double-dipped (bought an album on both formats). This tradition has continued with every subsequent album of theirs. 15 not out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    I never got them @NewbridgeIR but there is no doubting the talent. Aren't they the best selling duo from the UK of all time?

    Got this during the week for a fiver - getting its second play of the week now after probably many years of hibernation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    They are - top of the duo pops - sales of over 100m

    That Hardline album is excellent. He was seriously talented.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,822 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Depeche mode - Violator



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No._2_%28Rachmaninoff%29

    I asked someone during the week I worked with how her returning to the piano playing was going and mentioned I'd been listening to Rachmaninov earlier that morning - "His Piano Concerto No. 2 is the best"

    1955 pressing - €2. The weight of it.

    It's unashamedly 1980's



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    Brilliant. I have a lot of Miami Vice-related records and CDs. The CD of that first album is one of the best-sounding discs ever.

    The second volume is even better in terms of track selection.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,237 ✭✭✭bullpost


    And bang up to date………….

    This could be Texas English Teacher

    Debut album from this Leeds band. Pretty good on first hearing.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,882 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Phantoma by Unleash the Archers

    New album, sounds more synthy and has more of an eighties vibe than their last one, like it after one listen.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    On now, last one before bed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,621 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Got a couple of new compilations today.
    Had a listen to this. Some great tracks on it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,049 ✭✭✭NewbridgeIR


    That's a great comp. I bought the vinyl and 4CD versions of it.

    The Now Yearbook series is highly recommended. They've done a good few years so far from 1970s to 1990s. 3LP - all coloured, 4CD Limited or 4CD standard. And 3CD Extra sets for each year too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,621 ✭✭✭✭vectra


    Yeah, It really is a good varied album,
    I also bought Now 40 years, another excellent compilation.



    More on topic.
    Rolling back the years today and laying back.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 11,882 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath

    Up there with the best metal albums ever released, hard to believe Ronnie James Dio is dead 14 years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,153 ✭✭✭jacool


    Reckoning - REM (1984)

    Have taken to grabbing a random CD for the journey to work each morning as radio is s***e. Wished I'd had this before I saw them in '85.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,743 ✭✭✭dasdog


    1991 comp for €5 - some tunes on it that apparently used to get played in The Haçienda
