whoa i remember Solex
yes this is a redundant thread to be sure. probably shoulda bumped an old one but too lazy to find it

Hey old lunch - definite solex fandom here but it seems like the discussion has long ended. Her last album where she took a trip on a boat with fellow danish musicians was really cool and deserved more love

I've got a good one: Thievery Corporation. I'm not a fan per se but I like their brand of weak spliff exotic tourist Muzak.
A quick ILM archives search suggests the only possible TC fans on here are Moka, Hoos, and deej.

i've got Dubbed Out in DC and like it a lot, weak spliff exotic tourist Muzak is definitely a thing for me, i'm just not more of a sounds over who's making them listener i think

i think if you spent some time in dc 2000-2010 it is hard not to have a soft spot for them

Yeah I like Thievery.

I like Sounds From the Thievery Hi Fi a lot, their next album was pretty solid too (the one w/Lebanese Blonde.) Their DJ Kicks was pretty outstanding.

i can't think of anything. if i'm thinking of things that more than a few people here have heard. lots of stuff i love that is just unheard by a lot of people. truthdare doubledare is one of my very favorite albums of the 80s. never heard anyone here rave about it. bronski beat were pretty famous. i don't know how many people were pro-John Jøn though.

Cake are pretty universally derided here, right? I really like Fashion Nugget a lot, but I don't need anything else by them.

I think almost everyone mentioned here has a thread, or tons of threads (Erasure? Jamiroquai?).
But there is no Chumbawamba thread on ILM.

I used to quite like chumbawamba's 'slap' LP, and that one song by cake
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 20:10 (six years ago) link
i really liked Slap! too. but i haven't heard it since it came out. the only one i ever bought.

yikes, i just reminded myself. i could never listen to that now. 1990 was a depressing year.

Sigur Ros, the biggest SR thread has a classic first and second response that still makes me giggle tho'.

I was going to say Danny Wilson, at least one other poster likes them though: Danny Wilson
― soref, Wednesday, 4 April 2018 20:15 (six years ago) link
I will rep for Sigur Rós.
The band that I like a lot that has some outright hate posts directed at them is the Ocean Blue.

I started a Cake thread in 2011. Don't really listen to them much anymore, but they were the most important band in the world to me when I was a teenager.

I tend to a very lonely thread on the Dutch band Nits, whom I love unreservedly.

Ryan Power. The great unheralded prog-pop genius of our time, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned here once.

Just had a quick spin through 'Slap!' - yeah, lots of it has not aged well at all. This one track though still sounds great, as long as you skip over the bits where they are singing / talkinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S3enZlLLNM

i have never stopped playing the first two Doves albums since they came out and sometimes i wonder if anyone still plays them at all. i mean people might have liked them when they came out but they feel kinda forgotten. i never get tired of them.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 April 2018 20:35 (six years ago) link
Some Cities is a fantastic record, scott. I will rep pretty hard for that one.

I'm the same, Scott, still rate those first two Doves albums highly and pretty much fell off with the third which I found quite bland. Recently, I listened to the fourth album to see if I'd missed anything and hadn't really. I like the production on those first two LP's a lot.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 20:49 (six years ago) link
Revolution by Chumbawamba is an absolute classic anarcho-punk single but I'm not a big fan of their later stuff. I still have a soft spot for the Anarchy album but that's probably because I was 17 when it came out.

A search for "Trouble Funk" turns up only one thread, from 2004 and briefly revived in 2012. Was listening to Saturday Night Live From Washington DC earlier; it's killer. Two side-long jams.

I love Telepath more than life itself, at least through late 2015. I'm of the [evidently popular] opinion that the quality of his work dropped off somewhat when he went sample-free. I've actually thought about starting a chronological track-by-track thread for Telepath/Virtual Dream Plaza if there were enough interest...
