Glad to discover some Jazz Butcher. I never got around to after all these years.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:28 (eight years ago) link

i had to check my ballot to make sure i voted for it, i did. felt like i could vote for every song on this album.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:37 (eight years ago) link

right after i say that, i list the artist. need to wrap this up soon...

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:49 (eight years ago) link

How many are you doing tonight ?

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:55 (eight years ago) link

just two more.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:00 (eight years ago) link

i will get a much earlier start tomorrow.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:01 (eight years ago) link

i think i voted for this, great song.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:04 (eight years ago) link

I did. Was always fun to dance to at the alternative/goth night.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:08 (eight years ago) link

that funny

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:12 (eight years ago) link

if i remember correctly, i was going through a break up and this became a theme song. one of those perfect timing songs.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:13 (eight years ago) link

another one i voted for.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:26 (eight years ago) link

that is it for tonight, i will get a much earlier start tomorrow.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:29 (eight years ago) link

it's 8:30 here, so really too late to be doing this type of stuff.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:30 (eight years ago) link

i like how this song just takes off and goes in completely different direction. then it acts like that never happens and switches back again.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 03:33 (eight years ago) link

It is a great song. Wasn't on my ballot, but I rediscovered it while listening to ESM again for this poll.
Nice results so far. No Tones On Tail tracks yet though!

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 04:33 (eight years ago) link

i'm up and ready to go.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:09 (eight years ago) link

today's batch is excellent.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:09 (eight years ago) link

In his review for Deep, Ned Raggett of Allmusic described "A Strange Kind of Love" as "a striking love song, with acoustic guitar and plaintive Statham keyboards supporting one of Murphy's strongest lyrics and performances." In his separate track review, Raggett also described it as "an understated ballad that finds Murphy at his most personal and affecting, one that contrasts greatly with the equally close but musically surging 'Cuts You Up'" and stated that "Strange Kind of Love" is "perhaps one of Murphy's most affecting overall works in solo or group work either way."

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link

i only had room for one Peter Murphy song and my ballot and it has already been posted.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link

here is a song i voted for.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link

i know they made a faster remix for the single but still preferred the album version of this song. it was such a great song to open up Earth Sun Moon with.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 17:48 (eight years ago) link

and now finally

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:00 (eight years ago) link

damn, didn't re-size that image.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:01 (eight years ago) link

i think i had more fin re-listening to Tones on Tail then anything else for this poll. i could have voted for so many more songs from them but limited myself a bit.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:03 (eight years ago) link

and checking my ballot, i didn't vote for this song. now listening to it via the Spotify link i'm wondering why?

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:04 (eight years ago) link

checking my phone and that didn't work?

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:14 (eight years ago) link

that worked, weird.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:18 (eight years ago) link

I have to say TOO LOW for "A Strange Kind Of Love". Understated and gorgeous.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:21 (eight years ago) link

Seems like all the songs from Earth Sun Moon are going to place.

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:26 (eight years ago) link

it sure does seem like every song from Earth Sun Moon is going to make this poll. not going to confirm or deny.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:35 (eight years ago) link

lol

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:35 (eight years ago) link

Tracks that appeared on the original UK release were replaced and re-arranged for the US and Canadian market. The album was also renamed, it was Pop but the US release is called The Album Pop. "The Never Never (Is Forever)", "Performance" and "Slender Fungus" were removed and replace with the singles "Twist", "Go!" and "Christian Says".

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:42 (eight years ago) link

"Christian Says" was one of my last cuts from my ballot.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:49 (eight years ago) link

Good to see all the Earth Sun Moon love. It's easily my favorite of the Bauhaus related albums.

Austin, Thursday, 31 March 2016 18:50 (eight years ago) link

The cover of the album features a detail from Maxfield Parrish's seminal painting Daybreak.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link

I would have had a ballot very heavy on Mask, The Sky's Gone Out and Earth Sun Moon

My #1 song would likely have been "1. David Jay 2. Peter Murphy 3. Kevin Haskins 4. Daniel Ash"

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link

also I am enjoying Ned's quotes all over the Wikipedia entries for these albums

i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:02 (eight years ago) link

they are great, i was going to add a few of them to the albums roll-out but as you can see didn't end up doing that.

Bee OK, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:10 (eight years ago) link

I remember hearing the Dali's Car album for the first time about fifteen years ago and thinking, "Hey, this isn't nearly as bad as people told me it would be!"

Revisiting it for this poll was a chore, quite frankly, and I now understand where all the hate came from.
