Mrs Miller. Compilation CD. The Adverts The peel session 12" Miss Kittin and the hacker The first album (anyone else got this? it's brilliant) Disco not disco Compilation of 70's/80's disco tracks. The best of Big band. Compilation with Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington etc.

Out of the lot I'd say the miss Kittin one is the best but definitelyone of my better shopping sprees.

spacemen 3 - the singles (cuz it was cheaper than "perfect prescription.")
ak crane - pink eyed pony (largely disappointing, especially given the quality of the first two force tracks full lenghts [luomo and mri], sure it would sound brill "en mix" tho.)
v/a - kompakt total 1
fugazi - red medicine (this will be like the 9th copy of it i've owned. i'm cursed with this record.)
the legend of zelda: the oracle of ages. (okay, not music. but i spent the rest of my music budget for the week on it.)

― Atul, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Have been reading Lloyd Bradley's excellent 'Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King', and so now know my ska from my rocksteady from my bluebeat from my mento from my calypso from my dub from my dancehall...

1. 'Horace Andy Meets Naggo Morris/Wayne Jarrett Mini-Showcase' - Basic Channel reissue of two early eighties reggae albs originally brought out on the Wackie's label. The Wayne Jarrett side includes a version of 'Truly' by Lionel Richie!

2. 'Rocksteady Soul' - Various Artists. One of a number of great budget price reggae comps from the Metro label; this one brings together 21 hits from Duke Reid's Treasure Isle company, THE label for smooth soulful downtempo rocksteady, including 'hits' from Alton Ellis, U Roy, John Holt, the Jamaicans etc.

3. 'Another Green World' - Eno. Never heard it before! Smiled when I recognised the 'Arena' theme, and 'Zawinul/Lava' is a v. clever 'tribute' to 'In A Silent Way'. Phil Collins on drums, eek!

4. 'Marzette And Company' - Marzette Watts. Reissue of an ESP label free jazz freakout from 1966 - the first track is called 'Backdrop For Urban Revolution', to give you some idea of the flavour. Features the godlike genius of Sonny Sharrock on gtr (the main reason I bought it), plus Byard Lancaster, Clifford Thornton, Henry Grimes etc. etc.

5. 'Hand It Over' - Dinosaur Jr. Cost me a whopping ten pence in a local library sale - just about worth it. Only played once - not much in the way of actual tunage, but oh that gtr playing....

Plus some singles - 'Murder On The Dancefloor', 'Black Coffee' by All Saints, and a charity shop copy of 'In A Broken Dream' by Python Lee Jackson w/Rod Stewart, which was sampled by Portishead for some old pony or other...

― Andrew L, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jess: while the Crane AK album is weaker than the Luomo and the MRI releases (neither as luscious as the former nor as pearly pert as the latter) it's worth sticking with. It's so subtle that it takes about ten listens or so to really click, but it has a lovely eeriness to it once it does.

― Tim, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the last four I've got are: Brian Wilson - Live at the Roxy
Ramones - Anthology
Alien Ant Farm - ANThology
Ramones - End of the Century

I'm cutting down on the number of albums I buy. (Last year was just too disappointing).

― jel, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jay Z - The Blueprint
George Jones & Tammy Wynette - Greatest Hits
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Steve Reich - Four Organs
Drexciya - Harnessed the Storm
The O'Jays - Collectors Items
Kiss - Double Platinum

― Mark, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just got three this very afternoon...

Van Halen - Best Of Volume One (I love it!)
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Neil Young - Trans (really worried about this one, but it looked too weird not to buy)

― jel, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Trans' is one of the 12 classic rock albs everyone should own.

― Andrew L, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dominique, how is the improvised music from japan box? it looks tasty, even if only as a packaging fetish objet d'art, but the price tag will prolly scare me off. (also, where did you pick it up?)

― jess, Saturday, 16 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In order of most recent (got them in batches of three):

1) Pip Pyle- 7 Year Itch 2) John Greaves- Parrot Fashions 3) Brian Eno- Ambient 1: Music for Airports 4) Gary Numan- The Pleasure Principle 5) Jethro Tull- Stormwatch 6) Robert Wyatt- Dondestan

Given my proclivities, I am embarrassed to say I had never heard the Eno and Numan albums until now. Stormwatch (the what-the-hell-it's- $3 purchase), I must admit is better than I expected.

― Joe, Sunday, 17 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Herbert - Bodily Functions
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Fripp and Eno - Evening Star
Kraftwerk - Electric Cafe
Bass Patrol - Rock This Planet
Kompakt Total 3
Pop Ambient 2001 (I can already tell I'll be buying quite a lot of this Kompakt shit if and when I find more of it!)

― Clarke B., Sunday, 17 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey, Clarke, some good stuff in that batch, a weird synch w/ what I've been listening to lately. Both Kompaks and the Herbert are things I've bought & enjoyed in the last few months, and I love Evening Star. I also think the first side of Electric Cafe is equal to Kraftwerk's "good stuff" (found this one a couple months ago as well.)

Feh? Never heard of'em. But the new Pieter Jan De Smet's quite nice. Light Sleeper. Played after the Josh Rouse show last night. I fell in a pseudo-narcozick slumbah. Weird.

dominique, how is the improvised music from japan box? it looks tasty, even if only as a packaging fetish objet d'art, but the price tag will prolly scare me off. (also, where did you pick it up?)

jess, I'm sorry for not responding sooner, I only received the set today. I have listened to the first disc only, and I am still a little affected. I may not make as much sense as I normally would (if I normally do, that is).

First, I will tell you that I ordered it from Yoshiyuki Suzuki, caretaker of the Improvised Music from Japan website -- which, afaik, is the only place you can order it. It was expensive, but you knew that already.

Again, I have only heard the first disc, but I believe this is the most amazing music I have heard in quite a while. I have not felt this way after hearing music, probably since I heard my first music (Beatles), or possibly after hearing Debussy in college. The music is almost all electronic, maybe stylistically similar to very recent Autechre, but so much more alive, breathing. It is improvised, as they say, and though there is much computer generated sound, it is still a human heart in this music.

I will be listening to the set for a while, I suppose. Maybe if I can pull my head together, I will write something about later.

As a sidenote, there are only 800 of these made, with 300 going to the musicians on the discs. My set says that I have #63 of the remaining 500. I think if people were exposed to this music, Suzuki would have a hard time dealing with requests for the set.

I've heard of most of those....but you're still a show-off, Ned!

helen, have only heard the Josh Rouse once now, but it sounds nice enough, like his other two. Will try to report back.

Sodding hell. Why didn't anyone tell me about this?

The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History (the Vaselines)
Hex Enduction Hour (the Fall)
Hats (the Blue Nile)

Nick, what is her music like? What does her voice sound like? (I expect you'll tell me to look it up.)

― youn, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry Youn I can't. You're better at describing music than almost anyone. I am not. I'd come out with words like 'spooky' 'heartbreaking' 'countryish' and 'Canadian' and than would just put you off. Oops!

― N., Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thomas Chapin & Borah Bergman - Inversions

― Phil, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ned i haven't heard of almost all of those!
THere I was thinking "Ned, didn't have these? The Shagges? The TV Personalities?!? How weird." I guess my friends are right, I am probably a complete nerd.

Ethan, we're just jealous you got the Monkeez for two bucks. ;-)
