I first heard it maybe 10-11 years ago and loved it, but finally got my own copy a few months ago. (Now that I think of it I remember posting this on a similar thread, "old stuff you're getting into" or something like that.)

also, Love -- "Da Capo" (especially for the side-long tune on the B-side). I might even like it better than "Forever Changes."

harold budd & brian eno - plateaux of mirror
one of the best piano records i know. moody, impressionistic stuff that touches something deep inside me. has nothing to do with ambient (which i don't like as it is empty). i really don't understand how this could be released in the ambient series. it's more similar to satie or durutti column than to music for airports or discreet music. both of those albums annoy me when i try to listen to them.

I couldn't tell you as I'm unfamiliar with The Pearl -- in a collection of about 20-25 Eno CDs thus far, it's one of the last ones I'm still looking to buy, I've just never seen it turn up used :(
ebay, here i come?
― stephen, Saturday, 18 August 2007 06:12 (sixteen years ago) link
ditto for Fripp/Eno - No Pussyfooting, I have never ever ever seen it used, though I will attest that Evening Star (the second album by those doods?) is overflowing with goodness
― stephen, Saturday, 18 August 2007 06:14 (sixteen years ago) link
That's funny--I used to always see No Pussyfooting used and think "That record must suck since everyone sells it. And who is Robert Fripp anyway?" Now of course I know he's either Hall or Oates.

I gave my new copy of Talking Heads "77" this morning - it's the no extras, no shite version, and it rocks. I've never heard it before, and it's interesting to hear the proto-afrobeat Talking Heads knocking around in there.

Speaking of Fripp: The idea of Robert Fripp's ambient music always appealed to me more than the actual music.

I downloaded Paul Mccartney's Ram the a few months ago, and finally found a used copy of it yesterday. I love the entire first side The second has a few growly-voice-Mccartney songs, but ends strongly with the second Ram On interlude and The Backseat of my Car. Good stuff.
I didn't realize my girlfriend had a copy of the Congos' Heart of the Congos. I've listened to it exactly twice, but there are some true gems on there. I especially like "Can't Come In" right now.

I heard Radio Birdman's Radios Appear and Burn My Eyes for the first time yesterday. I was expecting more rip-roarin' feedback 'n' fuzz guitar assault, but wasn't at all disappointed with the complex and melodic rawk action I wound up getting. Didn't like the bonus-track version of "TV Eye" (too fast), but everything else was killer.

the kinks 'village green preservation society'
despite loving the singles (the production, the song-writing EVERYTHING) from aged 16, i waited another 17 years to hear this album. this is despite all the re-release hoo-ha and fuss/hype-o-rama 3 years or so back. am i stupid? it now appears so.
― pisces, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:51 (sixteen years ago) link
listened to the entire village green alb for the fist time myself not so long ago. thought to myself, "wot the heck took me so long?" then remembered - i had tried to order it, as it happened, some time before the re-relese came out, and didn't get it then... song-writing goodness in abundance, yeh.

His albums are uneven, and uneven in the same way! Some of those long songs are well-served by his ingratiating drawl, others just drift; then he does something like "Political Science" or "I Want You To Hurt Like I Do" and he just slays.

i've been half-heartedly pushing randy newman and warren zevon to all the fleetwood mac and steely dan heads on ilm for a while now!
both too self-consciously 'clever' or writerly or something, though. i mean i acknowledge their flaws but i love them both.
