What Are You Listening To?

To be followed by 'Long Road Out of Eden' - The Eagles - yes I know you can't beat 'HC' but the title track is damn good.
Come to think of it - the opening sequence sounds exactly the same as APP's 'In the Lap of the Gods' mmm........
Regardless the harmonies are just awesome.

Future Days-Can

after pioneering a sort of frantic experimental rock sound, Can move on to a more minimalistic and laid-back sound. The result is absolutely fantastic, perhaps the best thing the band ever did

Heard this for the first time when I was at my daughters in Florida.
Was pleasantly surprised.

Agree - has some really nice tracks.

My favourite by them has to be 'The Last Resort' - an epic sort of track. Play that one more than HC.

wow! unreal
same here

We satifsy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and in the name of God

that sends chills

Hergest Ridge - Mike Oldfield - this guy's imagination is just incredible - I wonder why no-one followed in his footsteps - this is what we should be creating these days instead of trivia-pop.

Part 2 is a really awesome piece.

Mr Henley's most thought-provoking lyrics ever. A real classic.

PETER CRISS "out of control" 1980,cd.

this is the second solo album, and first since his departure from KISS earlier in the year.
it is a fine rock album, but dont expect a KISS sounding one as you wont find it here, this is more a blues rock, out and out rock and ballads album and the "cat-man" doesnt dissapoint. all the tracks here were written or co-written by Peter Criscolla himself except "you better run", which incidently became a minor hit for Pat Benatar in the same year.
there are none of the usual KISS themes here, instead we have a mature album where subject matter deals with relationships and life in general, the opening track "by myself" is my pick of the tracks here and it deals with the pro's and con's of Criss having to deal with life after being in one of the greatest live bands of the 1970's.
Criss proves here that there is more to him than being a 'sticks man' and also that he is capable of writing more than just one classic song(the well known one being "beth").
unfortunately for Criss all subsequent albums fail to match this one and the "kiss" solo set from 1978.

from my library (cd)



A gift from the crazy man. Packaged as a 3 cd set but it is 3 different studio albums so I will listen and review in different sittings. Never heard of this Aussie band but they've been around since the 80's and still kickin', so they must be doing something right. The only remaining member from the original lineup is vocalist Joe Camilieri so it must not have been all smooth sailing. Looks like they had some Australian hits back in the early days and I guess they're still riding that wave. Started as a bar band doing covers and that's what this debut album is. Nothing shows as charting from here, but What A Difference A Day Makes was released as a single. Almost made my worst. That goes to the instrumental Blow Jow Blow, which I guess is an original in name only. Certainly not original sounding. Favorite is a Fats Domino cover for which there is no clip. Nice cover of Brown Eyed Girl and the accordian gives it a special flavor. Didn't need the live version added as the last track. A few decent covers, a few bad covers, but the fact that it's covers makes me pass on it. Looking forward to some original material on those other 2 albums though. Band has a good sound with Joe a good vocalist.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Blow Joe Blow

Best Track - Before I Grow Too Old

I'm going go out
Fancying every night
And I'm gonna see
All the city lights
And I'm gonna do everything
That I been told
But I got to hurry up
Before I grow too old
And I'm-a take a trip
Around the world
And I'm gonna kiss
All the pretty girls
And I'm gonna do everything
With silver and gold
But I got to hurry up
Before I grow too old
Because I'm gonna do a lot of
Things I know is wrong
And I hope that I'm forgiven
Before I'm gone
And it will take a lot of
Prayers to save my soul
But I got to hurry up
Before I grow too old
I'm gonna do a lot of
Things I know is wrong
So I hope that I'm forgiven
Before I'm gone
And it will take a lot of
Prayers to save my soul
But I got to hurry up
Before I grow too old
