Jon Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This is superb -semi classical, but lovely. Agnes Obel!! Emma's buying me this for Xmas. I have her other album, and went to see her at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester a couple of years ago. Only heard 1 of the new tracks but knowing Agnes, this is bound to be a beautiful album.

I think this one's even better than the last. RNCM next April. (17th I think). Tickets not on sale yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) This is superb -semi classical, but lovely. Now there's a coincidence. A Dane living in Berlin - a good combination. I was thinking of buying one of her albums for a female of my acquaintance. But which of the two?

rjw63 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 ^^Ha I just clicked that expecting boring shite. I was right. Nah not really it's actually not bad at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 ^^Ha I just clicked that expecting boring shite. I was right. Nah not really it's actually not bad at all. It is very appealing on first hearing. But I am not sure if it is actually quite a bland song and I just take it seriously because it has a nice bit of cello on it and lyrics I can't quite hear. Her Scandinavian wistfulness (yes I know) seems a bit studied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted October 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2013 I bought "In The region of the Summer Stars", thinking it would be the sort of thing I'd like. It wasn't. Cartoon idea of a rock band playing pseudo-classical music. Gives prog a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Still listening to Rewind The Film by the Manics. Their finest work by a margin. This video is also fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not listening to it at the moment but it is pretty obvious that once I have finished watching made of stone that this will more than likely be followed by this and then a few select tracks from this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Don't worry Moon man it'll be going on after this album, I actually am one of the few who thinks that the second coming is a cracking album 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted October 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I think it blows the good, but otherwise massively overrated first album out of the water. Edited October 24, 2013 by mjmooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
