Massive album Burial by Burial as recommended by Tiggi !

[CRAZY-HORSE]

MOBY "play" cd,1999.

they call this guy the master of techno...
if he is the pinnacle of techno, then thank God i dont have much Techno....not that this is a bad album though, just dont rate it as a masterpiece like the critics did and still do.
it is certainly an interesting piece of work though, a bit funky,bluesy,jazzy,gospelly,hip-hoppy and ambient all at the same time...some nice vocal samples here from old blues and jazz vocalist including newly departed Etta James.
several great ones on here IMO, but that gets off-set with the six instrumentals which i do not like at all....i have nothing against instrumental music, but without vocals it needs to hold my attention for the duration otherwise it just dont cut it for me!...and the ones on here dont,they are too repeatative, thats not to say that all "vocal" songs arent repeatative, some are and most of those i dont like either,whoever sings them!
a lot of good tracks on here also, and had it not been for the instrumental ambience, then this would rate 2.3 for me, however it comes in a bit lower than i thought it would at 1.9.
pretty sure i got this one around the time it was released along with Fatboy Slim's "youve come a long way baby" album, this one has not fared as well as Fatboy's over the last decade, but nonetheless is still an ok album, and one that i actually enjoy listening to regardless of the dull bits.
allmusic 'genius' pro's give this 4.5/5 or a converted 2.7.
i have his follow up to this one also,bought it on the strength of liking this one,unfortunately i dont recall liking it...i guess time will tell when it comes to the top of the pile!

from my library (vinyl)



Don't much care for this, or Numan in general. I did like Cars, which is probably why I have this. Just too much
computer techno stuff for me. Surprised to see Queen's Roger Taylor showing up on a few tracks. This is Gary's
fifth album, and made #3 in Britian, after his last three had made #1. Quite bigger there than here where this
could only manage #167. This album is quite laid back and has nothing danceable despite the title. Maybe if you
dance like a slow motion robot. The only single released was She's Got Claws which made #6 in the UK. Track
listings I see on this now show 16 tracks, although my vinyl copy only has 11. The other 5 probably wouldn't have
helped me any. Too drum machine for me. Is Roger Taylor a machine?

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Cry The Clock Said

Best Track - Stories

She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Thinking stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
'Won't you lend me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine.'

The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says 'I've thought of you too'

She whispers 'Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs
That I'd rather forget
Like feelings I longed for

You haunt me inside
Sometimes I recall
Question mistakes
Who grew to nothing at all'

I hear voices that cry
And one of them's mine
All the things I could say
Are the reasons I can't
She says 'I've seen you before
In thoughts I call 'son'
Like an old film with sound
When the link comes undone'

The waiter is me
And the woman is you
And we are the story
Just like others I knew

[CRAZY-HORSE]

i pity you having to play this one...no i dont own it,nor any of Numan's material,in fact when and if he comes on the music channels i change channel...

dont like him,never liked him...but i have a friend that has his entire catalogue of albums!

On the laptop.

Their second release from 2007.

Younger Brother is a collaboration between Simon Posford - the head honcho at Twisted Records - and Benji Vaughan who's another of the Twisted artists. The label specialise in a psychedelic brand of either Trance or Dub, and this one's no exception.

The music here is a highly lysergic, chilled set of electronic tunes. Definitely inner-space music, and probably a near perfect album for headphone listening. Almost entirely instrumental.

Twisted albums rarely disappoint me. Definite Buy Lister.


Not scored by RoviMusic (They don't much like this sort of stuff anyway).

Sounds like one I must investigate - Thx Tiggi

[SteveO]

Gary Numan is featured on the highly acclaimed experimental rock Battles album - Gloss Drop. I think he fits in well on this album as a featured artist.

Isn't Battles the band with Anthony Braxton's kid?

Anyways, Untrue by Burial

To my surprise, I'm actually really enjoying this. There's these annoying crackly sounds that sort of interrupt the overall sound, but otherwise I'm really digging it
