LOL the Ohio Express' "Love Rollercoaster"! MUST HEAR! As well as the Ohio Players' "Sweeter Than Sugar"!

Bizarrely, I have heard the entire new Yusuf Islam album. It's not as awful as I would have expected, but that praise is about as faint as it gets.

I was wondering about that new CD but couldn't be bothered to make a thread about it. Tell us more.

Well, it's a pretty solid AAA effort, I guess. I mean it's got some catchy tunes and the production is ok. One of the songs gets stuck in my head from time to time. There could be a lot of worse things to be stuck listening to.

I could have bought Yusuf "An Other Cup" today but chickened out and got Tea For The Tillerman instead. So far I think I like it better than Teaser and the Firecat, the only other one I've heard.

I've always liked the way his voice sounds on lower notes.

I wish "Tea for the Tillerman" (the track) was longer. It's sooo great for that minute or so.

Totally! His vocals sound almost like early Bowie on that. They've got that as the end music for the Ricky Gervais show Extras.

Ok, now that I've finished listening I like this about 10 times as much as Teaser and the Firecat. There's a certain style he does on Teaser that annoys the hell out of me and there's none of that on Tillerman. I do like "The Wind" though and this record makes me want to give that one another chance.

was the harold and maude soundtrack ever released?

You can get every song from that plus 5 more on Footsteps in The Dark: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2. I'll probably get that next. Tillerman has 3 of the H&M songs.

I got "An Other Cup" for Christmas, and it's good. Very good, even -- not earth-shattering, but in no way intended to be, and at least three very memorable songs on it. The best part is that his voice is still there, and they haven't autotuned it all to hell.

How's the Youssou N'Dour track?
