chrisp65 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So, a variation on the filing systems discussion we have every so often here. It’s my father’s birthday coming up and I’ve been a bit stumped as to what to get him. He’s asked for a CD but didn’t really know what he wanted, been in the house for 12 months and doesn’t really do social media so no knowledge of what’s out there. So he just wanted ‘something’. I had a recollection that a year or so ago, there was an album came out that I thought he’d like. But for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the name of the artist, other than I did remember it wasn’t somebody spectacularly well known. It wasn’t John Prine or The Eagles, Leadbelly, or John lee Hooker. But it was that sort of approximate sort of sound in a very loose way. More country than blues. What I could remember, was that it was a CD with a red border, a road, and a picture of an old black guy in a suit holding flowers. Armed with this excellent info., I phoned my usual supplier and described everything about that CD, other than the name and title... and she worked it out in under 10 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 This album that mixes chilled out classic rock with black metal. Fantastic band: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 16, 2021 Gnoomes - Mui Just looked it Up on Discogs, some prat has described this as Dream Pop and Shoegaze (as well as Psychedelic Rock), it is most definitely neither of those. It's in the territory of Psych meets Synthwave Am I in the mood for a Discogs fight? Probably not but I might replace the Images as this one is artwork not an actual Album Cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Much much louder than can be doing me any good, but sometimes you just need the volume right on the edge of uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Carching up on 2020 black n dm and this album is kicking my ass atm! Brooklyn shredders with a healthy dose of Gorguts n kvlt! Think they've surpessed themselves on this one and that is impressive with their backlog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be me, but 99% of stuff labelled as psych is really, really dull, and this is definitely not boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree in as far as the term psych is vastly overused to the point of being meaningless, it gets used to describe anything from folk through electronica to prog and out of the arse of heavy metal I also agree that its a great album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2021 Spacey and bassy vibes before bedtime Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble - Radio Axiom - A Dub Transmission from 2001. A CD, never released on vinyl. Some nutter paid £25 for this last November, though it usually sells for about £8 - £10 which for a bog standard CD is still pretty high. (I paid £10.99 aparently) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 19, 2021 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2021 Talking Heads - Fear of Music Below isn't the proper cover for my release but Discogs thinks it is, time for yet another debate.... (proper cover is plain black no alluminium sheeting effect) But my flabber was rather ghasted when I looked it up on Discogs as I've sort of assumed most of my CDs are only going to add £2 or £3 each to the value of the collection but not this one. It regularly sells for in excess of £35 which is a whopping price for a CD It's a 2006 rerelease with the original album and bonus tracks on the CD and a DVD containing the original album in Dolby 5.1 plus a couple of other videos. I have at least 4 of these 2006 TH rereleases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly original issues, maybe a couple of replacements for lost/broken versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
