Hi Pete. Nice to see you and the ten that you had to own. A few years back I started collecting vinyl that had anything to do with Dark Side of the Moon. I ended up finding about five. One was the Easy Star All Stars. The Flaming Lips one was not bad. The Mojo Magazine vinyl release was not bad either. Love the John Zorn. I am still trying to track down a sealed copy of Naked City. Yet another album that I should have bought it when it was released. Enjoyed your choices Pete. Nicely done~
Rob/Boston
Hi Rob, didn't realise there were so many homages to Dark Side. I vaguely remember Mojo doing their take on it, but it was after I stopped getting Mojo regularly, and I think if I remember rightly there were some acts on their that were not to my taste. The Flaming Lips are one band I've always thought I should like a lot - they should be right up my street - but every time I've heard something by them it's not done anything for me. Maybe it's time to try again?
How does Naked City compare with Spillane? As I said I'm a bit daunted in trying more Zorn.
All the best... Pete
@@soundsfromthewestcoast9939 I always liked Naked City and The Big Gundown. Those are the only two albums of his that I actually listened to all the way through. I have been a fan since I heard them Pete~
@@Paneeks1960 Thanks Rob, I'll have to check those two out.
Hey, it was my video :P Cyril Haverman's Out of Focus - what a cheeky back quote. The dub Dark Side of the Moon sounded fun.
Apologies for my failing memory! The dub side of the moon is fun indeed. Cheers... Pete
Some really interesting albums worth listening to. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Walter, and especially for the kind comment.
Interesting albums Pete! I was bit quite sure what was listening to at first with the coughing, but it is a nice fitting take. Kraut and electronic is always appreciated. Paperhouse sounded interesting. The Zorn album struck a cinematic note for me. That sensation drawn me in in the last couple of years or so. Hope you have a great week! Richard
Hi Richard - glad you liked some of what you heard. I think the John Zorn may be to your taste (though the needle drop was one of the more accessible parts). I think you might also like Lunar Dunes, but unfortunately I managed somehow to miss putting the needle drop in there! All the best... Pete
Loving you having Art of Noise in there Pete! Kudos 👍
Big fan and collector of all things Zang Tumb Tuum.
FGTH, Seal, Propaganda, 808, Art of Noise, Grace Jones, etc. Glorious. Anything that Trevor Horn had a hand in is guaranteed to sound glorious - and it HAS to be on vinyl, of course. Cheers!
Hi Mike, the Art of Noise album is definitely an outlier in my collection as I generally do not like stuff from the 80s - not a fan of 80s production styles / values. The other acts you mention I'm afraid are not to my taste, but I did have a cassette of Two Tribes on which I think Horn did great production work. Even Yes (a favourite band) in the 80s I was disappointed in - though as I say Drama from 1980 with Horn is superb, and he did a good job when he returned to produce Fly From Here many years later. Thanks, and have a great week... Pete
@@soundsfromthewestcoast9939 Hi Pete, I am not at all surprised it is an outlier! It sure did make me sit up and smile though 😀
Honestly, the eighties are also not my thing really, but ZTT seemed to hit the spot for me, for some reason. I think it was as much the art as the music. That said, I have said it before, and I will always maintain, that the 12 inch of Welcome to the Pleasuredome is the most, certainly one of the most, jaw droppingly sounding pieces of vinyl I have ever owned. You will normally find me listening to seventies Folk Rock, some Prog and mostly Art Rock though ☺️
Have a great week too! Cheers.
AMAZING COLLECTION AND CHOICES THANKS
Thank you for watching and commenting.
deviating from vinyl. i never dove into focus although i loved hocus pocus when it came out.
i recently got the 9CD + 2DVD set of all their albums except focus con proby. amazing! cheers.
That is an epic set. And the accompanying book is also superb. Enjoy!
Bought that box set myself - an excellent one with great live material on it. Though it's not by any stretch of the imagination one of their best albums, they really should have extended the scope of the box set by a year and included Focus Con Proby.
@@mike_burke There's an even bigger (26 CDs) of Jan Akkerman albums put out by the same people!
@@soundsfromthewestcoast9939 I have that too! The same guy curated both sets, it was a real labour of love. There was a very specific reason Con Proby was not included in the Focus box set, but I cannot remember exactly why, sorry. I do know that all source material was taken from everything available in the official vault and so I assume that Con Proby was not present / available. All versions in the CD box were painstakingly remastered, and widely believed to be the best and most faithful versions you can get. I am particularly fond of the Old Grey Whistle Test video clips (also remastered / upscaled) as they remind me of how Focus was the first rock band that intrigued me back as a young boy. Although the first album I purchased was Moontan by Golden Earring, and the first single I purchased was theme to Van Der Valk (as a present for my dear departed Mom). So the Dutch connection was there for me right from a very early age 🙂
Some very interesting records Pete.
The Cyril was nice..probably tge acoustic that drew me in there.
Art of Noise were an interesting band, i really like Anne Dudley too, who wrote a lot of the more melodic parts of the songs, moments in Love etc..fabulous pianist too.
That album was definitely their best.
Spillane was interesting and as you said, very soundtrack- like.
I really must get a copy of Dub Side of the Moon, as i love Floyd and i hear lots of people talk favourably about the album.
I liked your rationale for getting these on vinyl, i'll maybe have a think about this one and do a response
Hope you have a great week.
Rob, you've made my day by liking the Cyril Haverman's track!
Outside of a couple of singles I've never heard anything more by the Art of Noise - think they may be one of those bands where one album by them is sufficient.
The Spillane needle drop was probably one of the more accessible parts of the album - but absolutely very cinematic.
If you like Floyd and like reggae also, the Dub Side of the Moon I think would be up your street.
Please jump on this thread - I think you'd have a good take on this. Cheers... Pete
I liked your approach here Pete; it was basically mine too though I probably didn't explain it too well in my original video - basically albums I had on CD already but then decided to also get the vinyl version because the CD wasn't enough. I have that Art of Noise album but haven't heard it for a while so will dig it out. Not sure if I'm mentioned it before, but Trevor Horn's recent-ish autobiography 'Plastic Age' is great fun and has an eye-watering chapter on the making of 90125. I never got into Dub Side of the Moon although I had a friend who used to play it for me a lot..I enjoyed it but I'm too attached to the original I think. That said, I'd rather listen to Dub Side of the Moon than Roger Waters' remake of Dark Side which (judging by the one song I've heard) sounds dreadful. I remember the Feed Your Head series, that really takes me back! Just out of interest, did you ever hear the album 'Abduction' by Eat Static? It's fantastic. Top marks for the eclectic selection and a few I was genuinely surprised to see on your channel! Cheers, James
Hi James, thanks for bringing this thread to my attention - took some thinking but enjoyed doing it - look forward to part 2 of yours (I left about another 10 off my short list). Can imagine that Horn's view on the making of 90125 would be interesting as it seems most of Yes's albums involved some drama (pun intended). BTW just recently finished your book on Queen - excellent - and it finishes at exactly the right time in their career (was never much of a fan of the post Jazz / Live Killer period, though I did have The Works on cassette and remember thinking it was probably the best from that period).
Didn't know that Waters had done his own version of Dark Side - question is why? I did like his live version of The Wall, but then that one in many ways was more of a solo project.
I don't think I've ever heard a full Eat Static album - how much I like such music is dependent on how prominent the techno rhythms are.
Yeah there were a couple of albums on there that are not my usual type of stuff - Art of Noise and the Feed Your Head comp particularly - but you have to mix things up occasionally. Cheers... Pete
If you like Spillane, it seems to be a shoe-in that you would also like the Big Gundown as well. Both mine similar territory, and I think Gundown might even be the stronger of the two.
Thanks for the recommendation Scott, will definitely check it out. Cheers... Pete
Pete shows an 80s album by Art of Noise...I like it but what's going on? I remember being in a clothing shop with my wife when I first heard Dub Side of the Moon and had to ask the assistant who it was and bought the CD (now have vinyl too)...I got that Baikonour album on vinyl a couple of years ago having stumbled across it on Bandcamp. Galaxsea sounds interesting. Nice mix, not sure I can find a way into this thread, I need to think harder...cheers Dale
I deserve that! Though my argument would be that albums like the Art of Noise are the exceptions that prove the rule 😁. Have you heard any of the other Easy All Star Lps? Though I'm not a Radiohead fan so that one would probably not interest me. Was just checking the video over last night and discovered I hadn't put in the Lunar Dunes needle drop! Don't know how I managed to miss that put as I did record one. I'm sure you can find your own unique take on this thread Dale. Cheers... Pete
What is the record you showed something like Luna dudes thanks in advance
Hi Chris, apologies I keep meaning to put band and album title on screen and keep forgetting. The band is Lunar Dunes with their 2nd album called Galaxsea from 2011. Cheers.. Pete
