Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust

Didn't even know I still had this, it belongs to an ex-girlfriend from long ago! Aussie political songs with good tunes and lyrics that don't make you wince (chumbawumba anyone?). I played this to death at the time but never grew tired of it - get out there and blag a copy now

Recently i have been reviving my Mike Oldfield albums.

They sound so much better in vinyl...they are warm.
Especially the LP Crises, and Ommadawn.

And also OMD and Electronic.

Simply...fantastic...

A couple more oldies made there way to my deck today:

Sven Vath - An Accident in Paradise (very trancey)
Soft Cell - The Art of Falling Apart (extreme anger management)

Happy Listening,

Playing tonight:

Primal Scream "Dixie-Narco EP"

The Jamms/KLF "Shag Times" (can I say that?)

Bit of a puzzle actually this one, I bought it brand new from my local HMV this afternoon, but I thought that the KLF deleted their entire back catalogue in the early 90's so either:

1)it's a reissue? (but no "reissue" stickers etc.)
2)it's a bootleg pressing? (unlikely I'd have thought)
or
3)it's been sat in the stockroom of said HMV for the last 10 years or so?!!

Weird.

Oh and a bit of John Peel on radio 1.

Today, Ive been listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack by 'The New American Orchestra'
A very relaxing listen!
And apparently its supposed to be worth a few quid too?

[TRIPOD]

I recently found in a garage sale a complete collection of John Mayall's LPs(w and w/o The BluesBreakers) same thing for the Beatles original LPs and 3 excellent Aynsley Dunbar's LPs all unopened, still plastic wrapped !

I had to force myself to stay calm (I was shaking inside !) when the guy asked me 1$ for each LP (Yeeesss !!!) Don't ask me what I'm listening these days !!!

Hey Tripod, John Mayall used to live near me!
Nice finds by the way

[Lingo]

Bardo Pond - Dilate

Read the reviews first,

if u find it even slightly appealing, buy it now before it get's too rare.

[Mark E Smith's Dentist]

Today I are mostly been listening to Fripp & Eno's No Pussyfooting and Evening Star albums. Quietly.

A good record buying session the other day, courtesey of local charity & s/h record shops, producing amongst others:

Human League-Travelogue
Bob Marley & The Wailers- Natty Dread and Babylon By Bus
Prince-Sign of the times
OST "The Lost Boys" A classic film, especially notable for Kiefer Sutherland managing to make a peroxide-blond mullet look good!!

[JaS]

Really, really nice.
Played to death over the holiday.

JaS, two questions:
1)how does that compare to Psyence Fiction?
2)If it's on vinyl, where did you get it from?

Cheers!

[JaS]

I'm a fairly new convert to unkle and have only got a copy of Psyence Fiction on CDR from a friend but I'd say they both have their strengths, but for me the new album hooked me more.

Easy enough to get on vinyl too. Amazon UK have it in std and picture disc; pretty expensive at £17.99 but you do get it spread across 3 discs

Cheers,
JaS

BTW your post inspired me to dig out my battered old copies of travelogue and reproduction. Those analogue synth bass lines still sound amazing...
