bickster Posted December 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2021 Haul#7 Lucy Dacus - Home Video, Bog standard normal black version A lovely indie-pop album 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2021 And finally Haul#8 Shame - Drunk Tank Pink. Deluxe Edition, Clear vinyl double album with second disc being early demo versions of each track on the original album. They get compared to Idles / Parquet Courts etc. which is fair and Fontains DC which really isn't. Personally I much prefer them to Idles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Double album with a bunch of previously unreleased stuff to keep everyone happy. All from 1967 so far more of a 60’s singer songwriter vibe going on than the early 70’s stuff. Which might be stating the obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Succeeded in not listening to a single track before opening it, so it's brand new to me and sounding great as I type. Experimental Jazz meets German Electronics meets Post-Punk (with a hint of Space-Rock) is how I'd describe this instrumental album I was a bit disappointed with this when I bought it. Played it once or twice and used that as my excuse not to buy their current album. But I’ve been playing the download in the car a few times just before the hols and it was better than I’d remembered. So I clearly just wasn’t in the zone when I bought it and played it. So now I have to decide if its worth getting the latest one… The thing is, they’re perfectly good, but it would mean I have 4 Trees Speak albums, and they’re not really a 4 albums band, when I’ve only got 3 Sparks albums or 2 Curtis Mayfield albums… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will take me to 13 Ripley Johnson albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may well have been pissed yesterday, so I’m going to have another listen, but I could definitely hear some loose Happy Mondays / britpop stuff going on in this yesterday… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know that I've specifically bought anything tbh I had Neu!, Can and DAF before I owned any of these compilations. I also have Roedelius stuff and possibly Harmonia somewhere. And obviously Kraftwerk but they don't appear on these compilations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
