bickster Posted June 21, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 21, 2023 Binned the radio off on the drive to work this morning and put this on because I'm contemplating going to see them play this album tonight. An absolute classic and another of those 80s bands that didn't get the recognition they deserved and in this case it was because they didn't qualify for the Indie charts as their label were distributed by Virgin and as a consequence the music press ignored them The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Got myself one of those basic plastic tub record cleaning things, and I have to say it’s worked… sufficiently. Not to perfection but a noticeable improvement on some records that were stubbornly noisy. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the turntable is 55 years old so I’m not chasing perfection. Anyway, as a result, this is much improved: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prompted by my nipper doing an all nighter 6 til 6 bar shift for ‘some bunch of old people like you that play music like you and we kept having to tell them not to throw chalk on the floor and all they drank was water’. But yeah, what a bloody album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2023 New Bdrmm album out. The first album was an excellent showgaze album so hoping they can evolve that a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 2, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2023 Currently have this on Before that it was this... Love a good WInstnley / Wiggs compilation album Both cover similar periods (very late 70s / early 80s) the top one focuses on the electronic / synth strand of the alternative scene following on from punk, the later is more an obscurist's experimental angular post-punk dream Both are excellent Though the record player is now buzzing its tits off so needs a rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 2, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2023 I bought a BBC Radiophonic Workshop CD box set a while back, not sure I've played all of it, so it't time to remedy that The box set is called 4 albums (1968 - 1978) though paradoxically contains 6 CDs and 6 albums Just looked up the prices this set goes for and I definitely didn't pay anywhere near that much for it I'm specifically playing this one as it was at the bottom and therefore definitely unplayed previously 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda clunky these days but it's still hugely influential in the horror genre. I'll give the soundtrack a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved them, as many students did, but I only "discovered" them in 1985. Too bad about that LP cover. What's going on there? They should have moved to LA early on. Still sound ahead of their time to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
