Hi Carl it’s always interesting to see what you’ve been picking up .. I’ve liked band of horses since I saw them on jools Holland in 2011… the price of CDs makes them irresistible plenty of interesting finds here .. cheers Carl 👍
Hi Rob. I've found quite a few Band Of Horses CDs in charity shops over the years ... I've got a charity shop at the moment where they are selling some decent CDs at 3 for £1. You still have to look through a lot of dross though ... I've been waiting for you to post another video. You've been quiet recently. All the best.
Brian Eno’s contributions are always welcome. I recently saw Bruce Springsteen, he is still a task master on that stage. He always admired how James Brown directed his band. Graham Coxson is bloody brilliant! Such an innovative guitar player. Great pick ups - you can’t beat those prices. Cheers
Hi Mark. I think Brian Eno's involvement was around the time the original Roxy lineup was trying to record an album ... I've never seen Springsteen live. Based on recent clips I've seen on TH-cam, he is still in fine voice and full of energy ... I have Blur twice. Once at a small venue back in the early Brit Pop era, and then later at a stadium ... Some great prices, as you say. I picked up 9 more yesterday in a 3 for £1 deal, some of which will feature in a future video. Thanks for watching. Take care, Carl
That Mitchell album isn't too bad at all. The only thing I didn't like was that a lot of the tracks were fairly short, and the album is over too quickly. Thanks for watching.
Great finds - I never find that Springsteen covers album in the used shops here. I'm first getting into Tangerine Dream and really enjoying them. I love Joni's Wild Things Run Fast - I saw that tour - I think it's a really underrated Joni album - amongst her best. Many consider Rising Rainbows best album. Some great stuff.
Hi Alan. I like the Springsteen covers album. It could have been a classic if the E Street Band were involved. It was amazing to find it brand new sealed in a charity shop. I wonder if it was an unwanted present ... 'Wild Things Run Fast' sounds great. I'm envious that you saw Joni Mitchell live around that time ... I enjoyed 'Rainbow Rising'. I know it's a different era, but I saw Graham Bonnet in fairly recent years at a small venue. He was in excellent voice ... Mid-70s Tangerine Dream is the period I know best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care, Carl
Your assessment of Bruce's cover album was spot on ! The E Street Band would have been the way to go for production on this one. Also, Joni's record is quite good, only a bit spotty in places. Nice mixture of good music !
Hi JT. Just having a morning coffee and noticed your comment popping up. Ron Aniello did a brilliant job technically in difficult circumstances; but surely Springsteen should have waited until the E Street Band were available. I watched a clip of 'Nightshift' live in Barcelona which shows what the album could have been like ... I was pleased with the mixture of the latest finds; the more eclectic the better. Thanks for watching. Best wishes from the UK.
Having my morning coffee also while Sean is still asleep. Interesting.. "Nightshift" I will look at this right now. I guess it's about 3;30 pm in England.. So have a good evening !
Some very good finds Carl. Intrigues by that Mower, a project I’ve not heard of. Unknown album by that Canadian Norwegian lady for me. Enjoy, cheers from Morten
Hi Morten. I fell in love with Mower. They had friends in high places. Matt James from Gene was their manager. There is an excellent interview with them on Louder Than War's website, when they reformed back in 2016. Just be aware that they were post-Brit Pop (early 2000's; I assumed they were earlier because of the Graham Coxon connection). But they definitely should have had serious chart success. Matthew Motte was an intriguing songwriter. I can also recommend the TH-cam video for 'Summer Song' by Mat Motte and the People That Hate Him ... I didn't know Joni Mitchell had Norwegian heritage. It adds to the mystique surrounding her. Definitely one of the all-time great songwriters. It's easy to understand why David Crosby, and Graham Nash were in awe of her.
@@carltweed942 Yes, she is one of nearly 500 000 Canadians who have Norwegian heritage and probably by far the best known. Thank you for all the interesting info about Mower Carl. Speaking of «post Brit-Pop» I’m listening to my brand new copy of Keane’s debut album, the 20th anniversary vinylmI bought on Fridag. I saw them live here in Oslo (posted a video) 2 weeks ago.
@@carltweed942 Thanks Carl 😊 Wish I could watch the game, but I don’t subscribe to the Norwegian channel who shows 2/3 of the matches. The public broadcast channel only show the 1/3 and those matches are thrilling stuff like Serbia v. Slovenia…. Sigh.
Wonderful mixture Carl. Tangerine Dream very early stood out for me. I've been listening to more than finding the past few months but in the last week quite a few bits have popped up despite missing out on a collection I was due to pick up. The highs and lows of being a scavenger with a few stories I'll relay asap. Cheers Martin.
Hi Martin. I was quite pleased with the mix this time. There can't be many videos which refer to, in almost the same breath, Tangerine Dream, the Spotnicks, Nazareth, Giuda and Rainer Maria ... You're on a slippery slope if you are trying to buy collections! I look forward to hearing the stories when you post ... Getting ready for the England match now. All the best, Carl
Nice selections Carl. The only one of those disc's you showed that I have is Bryan Ferry's Dylanesque. I agree the arrangements are a bit weak as well as some of the song choices, but I have seen Bryan Ferry twice in the past eight years and he's performed Simple Twist Of Fate both times so I tend to like that one the best. Love the Flat White comparison. Happy shopping and keep the videos coming!
Hi Tom. I mentioned you in my reply to Rob Ison (good channel). 'Simple Twist Of Fate' is possibly the best arrangement on 'Dylanesque', because he does something different. It's impossible to beat Dylan's original version ... I'm going to try and post videos a bit more often. Cheers, Carl
i havent paid any attention to Springsteen since maybe The Rising. But that seems crazy the E Street band wouldn’t be involved in that album. that was my intro to Band of Horses. I like it. Saw them once in Seattle. Pretty good show. Sprained my ankle on way to show. I have one Rainer Maria album. Might be their first. The first thing I ever heard by them was Artificial Light which i mistakenly thought was on that album you got. I need to get more by them. Cool stuff Carl… always enjoy hearing your capsule reviews dude.
Hi Steve. Of all the records Springsteen has done, you'd think he'd want the E Street Band on an album of soul/r&b covers. I read somewhere that there will be a volume 2; hopefully that will feature the E Street Band ... I have three or four Band Of Horses CDs now. I wouldn't mind seeing them live ... I'm not surprised that you know of Rainer Maria. Your knowledge of early 2000's US indie bands is spot on. I checked and 'Artificial Light' is on their third album 'A Better Version Of Me'. If you've not seen it, I can recommend Rainer Maria's live performance/interview on the KEXP TH-cam channel from 6 years ago.
I like the 'Only The Strong Survive' CD. However, I've heard 'Nightshift' live on TH-cam and it works well - still slick but with more energy. Thanks for watching.
Love seeing the CDs. That Bruce album is ok, quite enjoyed half of it. Swamp Dog is in the credits of so many deep soul tracks I love, he seems a real enigma . That Caribou is Definately hit & miss.I never really got on with AcidJazz, funnily enough I do quite enjoy Jamiroquai who bubbled out of that scene.
Hi Harris. Great to hear from you. Yes, that Springsteen album was a little disappointing - not for his song choices and his singing voice (he really stretches himself) - but the very clinical production ... I have a love/hate relationship with Acid Jazz too. I liked that a lot of the artists from the Mod Revival jumped onto that sound and had some success (most notably James Taylor). The Galliano album is definitely worth a listen ... I took a dislike to Jamiroquai - probably because of the hat! Cheers, Carl
Hi Carl. Funny coincidence, I also recently found that Bryan Ferry Dylanesque CD in a charity shop. I don’t seem to have as much charity shop luck as you, though. I’m quite intrigued by Giuda though have nothing by them. I heard they sound a bit Slade-like?
Hi John. I'm picking up a few CDs every week in charity shops at the moment. I picked up a 3CD Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music collection last week ... I bought Giuda's first album on vinyl when it came out; and then forgot all about them until I picked up their second album on CD the other week. They are still going strong. I suspect they sound best playing live in a small club. The vocals let them down a bit. From what I've heard, they have more of a Glitter Band beat. They're certainly not in the same league as Slade.
I think Ferrys' solo material, for me works best with his choice of covers, he also adds that something else, ' A Hard Rains A Gonna Fall' is my favourite all time cover..so much energy and drive. That Nazareth Greatest Hits takes me back!.. my brother had that on vinyl..great covers again..Love This Flight Tonight and My White Bicycle ( almost as good as Tomorrows' original). Spotnicks sound intriguing, even if not for the vocals! I will check out Mower as I like the Blur connection. Always nice to see Joni, not familiar with that album. I really like early period Yes pre Rick Wakeman, don't think it gets enough love. Abrupt end there Carl!!..hope you're keeping well. Rob.
Hi Rob. I agree with you about 'A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall'. I loved it upon release, and for years I thought it was a Ferry original (!). I don't think the Dylan covers on 'Dylanesque' are up to his usual standard. I love his, at times, deeper vocals on this album. Someone else (@tarrtruck2869) has commented positively about Ferry's performance of 'Simple Twist Of Fate'. He does change the arrangement on that to interesting effect, but I absolutely adore Dylan's version (and wish he'd written a few more verses) ... Nazareth's music has really stood the test of time ... The Spotnicks are indeed intriguing; especially the two tracks I mentioned with prominent organ. They had a penchant for wearing space suits, which has been copied by a few instrumental groups over the years ... Mower was a real discovery. I love that album. I was just reading an interview with them on Louder Than War's website from 2016 (when they reformed), which is an excellent read. And I also watched a video on TH-cam by Mat Motte and the People That Hate Him ('Summer Song') ... Joni Mitchell is in fine voice on that album. It's a very short album though ... I'm a fan of early Yes too. They should put together a box set centred around the first two albums ... The abrupt end was down to a really loud phone call just as I was summing up (!). I jumped out of my skin and the pile of CDs went all over the place. Take care, Carl
