the known greats

[vgonis]

I was in love with her voice, kept me going through the army days, together with Radiohead the bends (issued just a year before) and Surfer rosa/come on Pilgrim by the Pixies. I have all their records and many 12'' maxi singles up to Third, including the live Roseland NYC. And a Beth Gibbons with Rusty man album. What do you mean? Something exquisite that I have missed?
I never had the time to dig any deeper. I have to confess that most of the times  too much official and unofficial information and videos spoil it for me. Would you believe that I avoid searching for info/gossip for my favourite groups? I like reading biographies but as literature, and I prefer artists that are dead or not to attached to their music.  I haven't seen and I don't miss video clips, because most of them spoil it completely for me?

i mean fanmade recordings of their now tour...
aaah....surferrosa!! doolittle....pixies.....one of my favourites...

[Pottel]

Pottel do you know Archive? What do you think of them?

[Pottel]

Nope. Never heard of them, what are they like?
Would like to hear some feedback on my orbital posts. Exactly as it is so different,...

[vgonis]

Will listen to them tomorrow, after the kids are off to school.
Archive are an ever-changing  band with  only two members from the original group 17 years ago. They have issued many albums from Trip-hop to Pink Floyd sound!



but I would certainly suggest listening to the long version.

and here some more of the well known ones.








Enjoy!

[Pottel]

Thnx. Checking it this weekend.

Is that thing they did with David Gilmour? I can't listen to it from work

[Pottel]

No, that was "the orb"

[vgonis]

I liked Dwr Budr, like a drone from a Durutti Column's album but with no guitars. (Have you heard of Durutti Column?)
I didn't like the Out there somewhere. Too repetitive and monotonous. If it was 5 minutes it would be fine. The good ideas were running low on this one.

[Pottel]

Thnx for the feedback.

[vgonis]

New Mazzy star and Godspeed you black emperor albums on the way!

[vgonis]

I don't know if you had time to check out the Archive tracks I have posted earlier, but this is a more recent song that you might also like.


And I will miss being a "Lady writer"
