Spoiler: Hide contents Absolutely. Nothing. Happened. I gave up after 50 minutes, possibly the dullest thing I’ve ever tried to watch. I liked it. There's a bit of a twist at the end.

Seat68 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Unsure what the feeling is towards the Pet Shop Boys on here but tonight before I am back to work at 6, is a play of my favourite of their albums, the remix compilation, Disco. No longer than 6 or 7 tracks but I love them all. I am by no means a PSB completist but what I do have, I like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 fwiw, what I’ve heard of them by accident has sounded like perfectly ok pop music. Not much of an opinion here, they’ve just passed me by. The silent one that still thinks he’s 15 strikes me as a schtick well past its sell by.

See if we're talking synth driven pop music, I much prefer Depeche Mode or even Soft Cell as I think both have that darker element that appeals to me, I also much prefer the Human League and Heaven 17 But give me the PSB over a whole host of other pop acts. I doubt I'd ever buy their product though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2022 Oops, I had to go to town for work today and some music product may just have been bought by accident Black Country, New Road - Ants from Up Here. Double Album on 140g Blue Marbled vinyl with full 12" sized Lyric Book Technically their first album if you cound the previous one as an E.P. which the band apparently do (length wise, it's pretty much a standard album) and as it stands the last album with Issac Woods on Lead guitar and vocals as he announced he was leaving just before the album was released last week (they are continuing without him) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The Soundcarriers - Wilds a nice psychedelic album akin to La Luz in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2022 David Axelrod's debut album from 1968. Song of Innocence. The list of performers is stellar, underpinned by members of the Wrecking Crew. Psychedelic, orchestral, funk and jazz fusion. The critics at the time didn't understand it and it wasn't a commercial success but it is now considered to be a matserpiece and was sampled an awful lot by the hip hop community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I am listening to an album by The Dinner Ladies, these knees have seen the world. It reminds me a tiny bit of Leon Rosselson. In their ranks is Lorraine Bowen, one time Billy Bragg collaborator. I am really enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
