Jan Schelhaas - Living on a Little Blue Dot



Schelhaas played keys for Camel and Caravan and I've been meaning to get around to listening to his solo work. Pleasant enough but perhaps a little too soft and too programmed for me - unlikely to go back. Lowish on the oomph scale, and I'm sure there's a vocoder or something involved. Why on earth whoever it was let Andy Latimer sit so far back in the mix on this track is a mystery ...

Are there any Joy Division fans here? I'm not one but I was just curious. I do like the artwork for their albums. Unknown Pleasures is an iconic image. On the same level as DSOTM by Floyd. But cannot relate to their music at all. In fact I think it's overrated.

Busy listening to this at the moment - stunning piece of work. A recommendation for CH if he does not already own this. Not a bad track on this album. Bad Company by Bad Company - their debut album. Love the drumming on this album as well. Basic four on the floor stuff but it's superbly done. You feel the drums rather than hear them. Play it loud! Probably one of the simplest guitar solos ever played but so effective.

MIDNIGHT OIL "diesel & dust" cd, 1987.

Aussie political rock band.
have a punk/clash edge to their sound on occasion.
sixth album of eleven, pretty sure I only own four from memory.
used to love these guys then vocalist Peter Garrett entered Federal politics here,
first as a member of the Nuclear Disarmament Party, then The Greens and finally the Australian Labour Party.
my problem was not so much with his political views, theyre his choice, but the fact he used to sing about not
towing the party line, having an individual voice and that politicians need to listen to their constituents...
all of which went out the window when he was on the payroll.
still, a few tracks here and there I still love because, well, they've got a great feel to them, the rest I don't give a crap
about anymore. only love two on here, like one or two others, dislike the rest so....
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

favourite: love the song, the sound and the video:

Led Zeppelin IV - you know the one. They ruled. 

Can't stop listening to "Going to California" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDIz4talyQk - Plant is magnificent.

Coincidentally - Tommy Shaw just released an acoustic version of the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsfWbb7qv78.

Hey music people did anyone take a look at my previous post in this thread? I think it's hilarious. One seriously happy family.
