What Rock/Pop/Jazz-rock/Fusion/Prog/Experimental etc album are you listening to?

[Beef Oven]

The first Genesis album I ever heard and the first one I bought!!!

This was mine:



A schoolfriend lent me 2 LPs one day: that, and the Ormandy/Philadelphia Shostakovich 15. It was the latter that registered most lastingly, but I still have a fondness for Genesis

Can't quite make it out, haven't got my glasses - is it Wund und Withering by Genesis!?

Funny enough, a school friend bought this when it came out, so I just borrowed his! Did the same with Trick of The Tail. Really like W&W



P.S. I think the actual LP was nearly the same size as your image!!!!

All this takes me back a few years! All the early Genesis albums, up to'Trick of the Tail'. Then there's the Jethro Tull out put. 'Thick as a Brick', comes immdiatel;y to mind. I do rather like 'Dream /theater'. Their DVD when they played at he Budokan is always great to watch.

Their second album 'Stand Up' was great, brilliant gatefold sleeve with an inner-sleeve which did what it said on the sleeve.

Do you mind if I sit this one out?

[MrGongGong]

Do you mind if I sit this one out?

Is that because your kipper beliefs don't allow American spellings ?

Is that because you don't like living in the past (OK I know it wasn't on the orig album but was contemporaneous, and is a bonus track on a reissue).

No, it's your breath!

GG, I don't normally gush like this, but you are the most totally musical person I have ever encountered! To go to this clip is beyond words! Your brain works like no-one else's - total respect

Is there anybody out there that understands you? I don't

I was in the fishmongers in Arbroath yesterday
and it suddenly came to me


"how much is the fish ?" ................

I think I may have posted something about this on the old Radio 3 thread - No not about your breathing Cloughie - but experimetal stuff;-)

Much of this relates to the 1980s - school days and University - and since then I've gone a bit retro - you know the Floyd and er Brahms ( but hey weren't they experimental in their day too;-)?

Anyway - Brian Eno / David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts

Brian Eno ; Ambient 4 - On Land ( mightily impressive tracks - A Clearing and Dunwich Beach 1960)

David Byrne /Robert Wilson The Knee Plays

Talk Talk - started out as a less pretty version of Duran Duran - then grew up ;-) and moved essentially to I suppose ambient Jazz- and influenced amongst others Radiohead (I'd recommend their last 3 albums - Colour of Spring; Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock.)

Here's a wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_Talk

Also Cabaret Voltaire - mad / infuriating / inconsistent - Sheffield's answer to Kraftwerk?

Who else? Laurie Anderson and Diamanda Galas - also the Lou Reed / John Cale project "Songs for Drella" - about Warhol.

Best Wishes,

Tevot
