Designer1 Posted March 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2020 My Dying Bride - The Ghost of Orion. Another top notch release as always. Beautifully atmospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 9, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2020 In very decent condition, first pressing from 1985 with free 7" E.P. Worth sod all The Three Johns - The World by Storm Peel favourites, A Mekons side project and confusers of @mjmooney A drinkers band! Second studio album by the Politico-punky Leeds threesome. One of those albums that contains a track with the same name as a previous album (Atom Drum Bop) that doesn't appear on that album Much under valued band imo. I think I've already told my Thre Johns stories so I won't bore you with any of them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Enjoying this Bonnie Prince Billy, Eighth Blackbird collaboration 'When We Are Inhuman'. This reworking of Beast For Thee is very soothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Captain’s Log, 14.03.2020 The rest of the crew are showing strange symptoms of being a bit out of whack and have all gone out ‘for a run’. In the rain. I remain sensible however, and have put on some retro synth pop and continue to dance around the kitchen eating toast.

bickster Posted March 14, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 14, 2020 @chrisp65decided to give your Roy Budd album a listen, it's really rather good. I may disappear down a Roy Budd shaped hole for a few hours now as he was quite prolific 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may disappear down a Roy Budd shaped hole for a few hours now as he was quite prolific I saw one of the guys from Dubrobots bagging a copy and thought there must be something in it if he was interested! Sure enough, it’s great from start to finish, no filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Got the Budd thriller type stuff on Cinephile. 'The Marseille Contract' works as an album and is brilliant. I like the others too, but you do get repetitive cues with the film's signature motif. This is from 74 with an 80s sax and a 90s dance feel. Bit of a genius, Roy Budd. Great piano player too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) ‘Repetitive cues’ is what brought me here! I’ve been told to go for Diamonds next and then Get Carter. Marseille also now on the to do list. Edited March 15, 2020 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to have to listen to Michael effing Caine tell some broad to take her bra off every time Ilisten to an album Marseille might be next 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 15, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2020 I though Marseille was better than Diamonds and Get Carter but not as good as The Internecine Project The Black Windmill, I think is on a par with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll pay more for an album on vinyl now than you would've new, but it's not a bank breaker. 'Internecine' was recently reissued. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yep, there’s no obvious date on my copy of Internecine, but the two written pieces on the back are dated 2019. just did a discogs, it was 2019 - though all the one’s on discogs are more expensive than what I’ve paid in an actual shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw The Fall's Infotainment Scan on Discogs being sold by a shop in Bath for £150, I was in the shop when I looked it up, it was £125 shop price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 16, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2020 Mr Creation Records himself - Alan McGee and his band Biff Bang Pow! - Love is Forever Notable because is has Joss Cope on Organ (Brother of Julian) who I used to know when he had a band called Freight Train with Donald Ross Skinner (Bro Julian's sideman for many years) The Creation Svengali's band weren't as bad as some people made out. Much better than they were given credit for, especially this album Original first pressing (Not sure its ever been repressed tbh) in all round VG+/NM condition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I wasn't going to bother with this, came out back in 2018. Then last week I saw a copy for £8. Still sealed. Sounds pretty great actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Intronaut - Fluid Existential Inversions. For anyone who likes good heavy progressive metal with a bit of jazz thrown in there, I highly recommend it. Phenomenal album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
