I didn't want to bump up that whole thread just to mark an update.
Stop your life!!!!
This is mostly about Akai Tori, the 1984 song that bears a striking resemblance to the music from a 1986 game. See if you can guess which game it is! The original song is actually available in two versions; this, the crisper, Latin-er, more disco-ready version, is my favorite.
Peter Hammill is my latest mad pash. I'm going totally around the bend over his albums, which marry Bowie's twee literate sneer and the very heights of his theatre frou to Scott Walker's heavyheartedness and addiction to single-take recording. What the fuck! They are so camp and fucking awesome! The braver pick from this album would be the title track, "The Future Now."
Dali's Car is Peter Murphy (from Bauhaus) and Mick Karn (the bassist from Japan.) They were never in the studio together; they mailed tapes back and forth from what I can gather. I thought I would hate Cornwall Stone for being heavyhanded and more than occasionally awkward. Mick's unique fretless bass work isn't even, you know, involved here. This one comes from the twilit provincial British lane where Emerson Lake & Palmer butt up against the Labyrinth soundtrack.
Johan Agebjorn: Overload - don't mess with me, you love ship disco. We all love ship disco. This is championship-level ship disco and I had it on permanent repeat for weeks.
Alan Parsons Project is a good band. Prog wankers deride them for being too pop and pop wankers deride them for being too weird and elfy. I think of them as perfectly that sound of fantasy nerds with desk jobs in the early 80's - towing the line awkwardly at work, but then running home to dress in purple spangles and plan their craft projekts for the next SCA meeting! The sound of Zelazny, or Thieves' World.
Also, Alan Parsons fucking produced Abbey Road, the only good Beatles album. So fuck you.
You're on your own for everything else. |

Like a lot of other common folks, you hate actual music and want to replace it by with hooks and videos. -Zseni 04/12/2008, 12:37pm PDT
