This thread, I abandoned too long. Time for yet another classic delicatessen.

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds - Thunderchild

I also once, while playing REQUIEM, discovered a guy that introduced me to this AWESOME CHILLOUT group, I have from them 4 albums of SHEER Magick!

BOARDS OF CANADA - Geogaddi


I have all of their albums on my ipad and use them as background music as I browse when I'm at work or just relaxing. Sheer bliss, reminds me a ton of REQUIEM when I play them, good times.

You won't like it and you won't get it, but, today I've been listening to this:

Mecano - Barco a Venus

When I was a child that song puzzled me like hell, later on I grew and learned of what drugs were and what is the theme of the song.

The refrain goes, roughly:

Stop it now, you know you never went to Venus on a boat; you want to float, yet you just sink and sink.

That's some pretty retro stuff. Don't speak spanish but the tune is not bad at all.

Here is a singer we better keep an eye on. Kyla La Grange.

Enjoy this. I know I did.

I used to like that song a lot as a little kid, I remember listening to it over and over again on a cassette I had, and indeed, back then the lyrics simply went over my innocent head, and I took them to be simply weird and whimsical. Quite poignant now, looking back at Nacho Cano's - and pretty much the whole lot of Spanish '80s music industry - infamous appetite for narcotics.

Speaking of which... just this weekend I was laying in bed trying to nurse a headache from the excesses I indulged in (not the usual nochevieja fiestas, but my own one-man party of weed and Civilization V, once family commitments had been taken care of), when the old lady living right below me decided it would be a swell idea to blast at full volume what seemed to be a compilation of Spanish '80s pop greatest hits.

And as annoying as that was given my predicament at that moment, and as dated as it may sound nowadays, I had to concede there was indeed an amazing amount of popular good songs, talent and creativity going on in this country back then. Whatever happened to that.

If there was a single lesson i could pass to the next generation of listeners, would be this one: Good music is timeless.

Have been exploring this dude(s), following the clue left from CCP's latest vid:

Quadruplos - Mandaranda

I'm still amazed at the power of music.

Like you and many others, Mecano is simply a whole chunk of our lives, an innocent time, a time that is no more and all we can do is remember as we gaze up to the sky and wander aimlessly within our minds.

...Or, maybe just the radio.

Mecano, most of their songs were like national anthems to the parties I used to go when I was a teenager.

Fact is, Mecano, one of my long lasting loves in Music has been so influential to me, that I can recall with vivid details their songs for the simple fact I used to put their songs on the stereo every time I made love, danced, chatted or simply existed with my girlfriends when I was younger. They were and still are super popular in Latinamerica.

Everytime I listen to Mecano is like listening to an erotic love song. Takes me to a time of much less worries and the women I left behind as I grew older. Now all of them are gone, scattered to the winds, some dead, others married , with kids , divorced or their whereabouts completely unknown to me, yet I remember all of them as if it happened yesterday, when they were young and happy and everything was much much simpler, their beauty encapsulated in a perfect frame of good memories and sheer human love.

If there is something I regret, now that I am older, Is not having loved more women.

I'm still amazed at the power of music.

A classic in every sense, a timeless jewel from 1984.

This mortail coil - Song to the siren

Ater literally years of drifitng on ambient waves on a kissed out red floatboat, it's back to my post-punk youth recently with

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Enjoying Darklands atm, subsequently moving through the catalogue.

The Jesus And Mary Chain, that's a band I hadn't heard mentioned in a quite a while, despite the buzz they generated back in the day, ever since they showed up with Psychocandy. I got to watch them live once (well, twice, but the second time was in some festival, so not the same), and it was quite a memorable experience.

Flavor of the day Daft punk-Tron soundtrack there is no to loud for song like this :)

Lasted all of twelve minutes kind of memorable experience?

Nice to know that bands like these are not forgotten in today's battery hen pop 'industry'. Good for you.

Halp! I haz teh Jack in The Box Jumbaco song stuck in my head

It won't leave!!!!!

Elisabeth Fraser -absolutely one of the very best female vocalists of the 20th Century. Shirley Manson adores her as does Madonna, Prince and may others. Some journo hack once labelled her 'The Voice of God' much to her embarassment and ire, being the shy private type that she is.

Says 'This Mortal Coil' here, but it's Guthrie and Fraser a.k.a. The Cocteau Twins. This Mortal Coil was a somewhat impressive collective effort under the aegis of Ivo Watts-Russell's 4AD label.

Thanks for posting this one.

Doh, don't I have the weirdest mp3s in my HD?

Listen to this...

Planet funk - Chase the sun

Funny, huh?

Just remembered that mind.in.a.box released their new album Revelations the other day. Haven't had time to listen to it more than once so far but it's pretty darn good already (it usually takes me a while to really get the feel for their stuff). Worth every penny.

Bossa Nova -> Eumir Deodato -> This:

Deodato - Juanita (Goear link)

Oh ya... some really good stuff on Revelations! Started looking around and liking this too, Mind In A Box - Change And this is from 2004... I missed out I guess.
Thnx defiler


That was so good. Found this from Eumir and am totally amazed at the talent that he gathered for this show Deodato - Superstrut live and so good
Thnx for that Inda

Amazing! The music that can be found just by looking around and following suggestions. Yet so many people are just too lazy to take a listen to other music and they choose to be content with the aural drivel they hear day to day.

Today during work it will be Robet Hood's 'Internal Empire' and Joey Beltram's 'Places'. After school it will be homework time with Richie Hawtin & Pete Namlook's 'From Within II'.

In an effort to rescue this thread from the brink of oblivion I present today's electro listening: Emmon.

Sadly much of her stuff is missing from the 'tube, but here's a few notable examples: Secrets & Lies, Basexpressen and the wonderfully laserdancey Frenzy Eyes.

Not the kind of stuff I play when other people are around, but personally I love it.

Still.... me today has listened.

Searchin - 80's discos mashed on voddie made me buy it.

The world has gone mad today,
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And days night today,
And that gent today,
You gave a cent today,
Once had several ch+óteaux.
