Oops, meant this for ILM.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 20:57 (fifteen years ago) link

So is this moving then?

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 22:32 (fifteen years ago) link

omission of the 12" 'pull up to the bumper' is o_O

― banriquit, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 22:58 (fifteen years ago) link

This is very tough!

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:02 (fifteen years ago) link

"Love is the Drug."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:34 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm thinking "Walking In The Rain" right now.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link

voted nightclubbing. robbie is a fucking monolith on that one

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:38 (fifteen years ago) link

I really kind of love how dripping with trevor-glitz STTR is but there's a whole other album of that, eh. I still remember getting this comp at the radio station and falling in love with it.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:39 (fifteen years ago) link

"Slave To The Rhythm" does feel weirdly out of place on this.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:40 (fifteen years ago) link

I know, even moreso than the johnny cash cover. Classic "oh time to end the album, here goes the rest of the mayonnaise"

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 23:43 (fifteen years ago) link

"Apple"/"Nipple" has always been my favourite Grace 12".

Going with "Apple" because it's morning, and I'm still stretching and yawning.

"Walking in the Rain", with "Private Life" and "Pars" close seconds

― ILX System, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:01 (fifteen years ago) link

waht im sure i voted 'private life'

― banriquit, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah, I thought I voted for "Unlimited Capacity for Love".

― Eazy, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Sometimes when you have to move a poll thread from one board to another the votes get fucked up

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 23:23 (fifteen years ago) link

thirteen years pass...

this music is SO fucking good

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

i love the hard disco of 'hunter gets captured by the game' i listened to it like 100,000x this summer

she's lost control is just on a whole other fucking level, menacing dub reggae version that makes the original (& i don't really need to compare them, i know) feel malnourished

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 20:16 (two years ago) link

also have you seen this?

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 20:18 (two years ago) link

never bought the albums proper from this era as this 2cd set is by far the best option.
though i would love a 2cd expanded edition of Slave To The Rhythm.
but thats never going to happen.

but yeah, this is a brilliant 2cd set.

― mark e, Thursday, 21 October 2021 18:34 (two years ago) link

It's a great cold-weather coffee shop album, for some reason. Doesn't feel like "sip a daquari by the pool" as much as "warm up in cold weather" for some reason.

― ... (Eazy), Thursday, 21 October 2021 18:45 (two years ago) link

Fashion runways are in cold places with coffee shops. She's the exemplar of haute couture rock.

― Citole Country (bendy), Thursday, 21 October 2021 19:43 (two years ago) link

I adore this remix of “pull up to the bumper”:
