^^

I have a few albums.

Let's just say, he wasn't terrible.

[Tiggi]

^ Indeed.

The only other album I have is the excellent Tubeway Army one, Replicas.

Used to have a couple of live albums back in the day, but they weren't too hot...

Just found a band called 8mm today and have been listening to them on youtube.Very coolish Portishead flavour...Will look for downloading them

Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn

[Tiggi]

Prolly their most fully realised album IMO (although I've yet to hear Heligoland...)

By turns dark & slightly disturbing, and warmly sensual, this is a triumph of an album. Particularly good to hear Liz Fraser's voice put to such good use.

Don't worry, Heligoland doesn't measure up. They should have called it quits after Mezzanine.

Mike Shannon - Under The Radar (Ricardo Villalobos Mix) from Under The Radar EP [Cynosure, 2010]

[herr x]

Liz frasier...waow.....The sound of cocteau twins reminds me about when music was beautiful and not money-orientatetd...
love

[Tiggi]

Thanks, Jon.

I'd sort of picked this up from the reviews. Don't think I'll be bothering...

Beck lends his production skills to this 5th album by the Brit producer turned musician. Also a little help from Feist and members of Grizzly Bear. Haven't heard any of Jamies previous work, but this is said to be a change of direction from his former soulful outings, this one more towards electronic. There were a few that might grow on me but overall, not my thing, but it may be yours.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
