A Trick of the Tail, Genesis. I’m on a bit of a prog revival at the moment and listening to some of the classics - Close To The Edge, Thick As A Brick, Tarkus, Court Of The Crimson King etc just reinforces what absolute masterpieces of musicianship they are. No Pro Tools, No Autotune, probably barely a click track - actually that probably helps with the overall “groove” most of these albums have - and completely brilliant.

Mad Man Moon is playing just now - my least favourite track when I was a young progger at school in the 80s, but it’s just beautiful.

I picked up In The Court of the Crimson King a while back and it is stunningly beautiful. At one point Fripp plays clean with the tone control way down on his guitar and it sounds sublime - I can't imagine anyone doing that nowadays for fear of becoming 'lost in the mix'.

Today’s afternoon album was So by Peter Gabriel

Even though I know most the songs - I think most of them have been released as singles. I have never really just sat down a listened to it. So this afternoon got my headphones on and just sat down and listened to it.

It was a great choice.

An absolute gem of an album, one of my favourites. There isn't a bad song on the album, some sublime guitar playing and if you want to know what a Strat sounds like through a Dual Rectifier then look no further. Also made me realise that a dual rec isn't just a one trick heavy rock machine.

I was really pee’d off at missing the mirri board vinyl release of this.... I’ll get round to listening to it at some point... do you rate it?

Frank by Amy Winehouse. The better of her two albums for me.

BertMassive · March 2021

Since watching Scream For Me Sarajevo again the other night I've been on a Bruce Dickinson solo album binge the last couple of days.

somehow MCC came upon the forum and I have been listening again. Probably a bit middle of the road for many tastes but lovely singer songwriter who managed not to become a rootin' tootin' ten gallon hat wearing country star and made a living doing her own thing.

I came on this thread to say I am listening to the last but one release. Boots No. 2 The Lost Songs. (3 disc set). It is absolutely outstanding! Just songs that were left out of the albums, and alternate versions, but it has really connected with me.

Don't know about the rest but this is a cracking listen!

Folklore - Taylor Swift

I usually have zero interest in Taylor Swift's output but stumbled across a documentary on Disney+ last week. Its essentially just her and two musicians in a Studio playing the whole album through live and discussing the writing process for each song and how it came together during lockdown. I found the film really engaging and the Album has some great tunes.

Trouble’s first couple of albums and Iommi and Hughes Dep sessions

Forgotten (by me) gems.

Howdy, Stranger!
