A Cranes fan? Hell yeah. I think Wings Of Joy is my favourite but 2008's S.T was superb too. I do have a couple of gaps in my Cranes collection that needs to be sorted out ASAP. I know that a lot of people can't get past the vocals but I love the innocent charm they lend to the music. Also try This Mortal Coil and Autumn's Grey Solace for similar dreamy goodness.

Many thanks to Terrible Lizard for gettin' this one to me.

So, I became curious about this band as I was reading about different bands and groups from NZ, and I discovered that Rio Hemopo from Trinity Roots (awesome stuff there as well) is in the live line up for this band, Breaks Co-Op.

Didn't know anything about them other than what wiki told me, which wasn't a whole lot...only that it is "electronica" (which in my opinion is broad and doesn't necessarily fit the feel of the album as a whole). I have to say I am pretty obsessed with this album right now though. Supposedly the song "The Otherside" was the break out hit from this album, winning some awards and what not, but in my opinion the real standout track here is "Duet":

****ty recording, but the only one I could find on youtube. It really is a beautiful song with a sultry groove I could listen to over and over again (and I have).

A link for this would be splendid. Love that track.

Future Songs and Particles and Waves would be most welcome.

It's been a long while since I have heard this. Back in '91 members of Killing joke (minus frontman Coleman) teamed up with Scottish vocalist Chris Connelly and he certainly add's a different aspect with a voice more in tone with Scott Walker and David Bowie than the norm for Industrial Metal.

I bought this for a pound a few years ago and it was money well spent. A sort of Post Punk pop album. Catchy as hell but with enough angular riffs to keep you interested.

I'm very interested. Any chance I could get a link? Also, let me know if no one can get you either of those Cranes albums.

This easily deserves to be up there with Telepopmusik, Sixtoo, and the likes. Maybe it is and I just didnt' know.

Great album.

Vadim's more recent albums haven't done much for me, but I do enjoy The Art of Listening.

PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

Ripped my girlfriend's CD a ways back, finally got around to listening to it this week. I liked it the first time around yesterday, and just spun it for the second time now.

I bought this just out of curiosity (any hip hop album art that has a guitar on it is good) and yeah I am really digging it too. Has a really nice vibe to it, some interesting beats and sounds.

Midnight Oil - Capricornia

I love having the odd obsessive favourite - gives you something to fall back on when you're having one of those days you don't know what you feel like listening to. This here's the last album they ever recorded, and not half bad at that. Nowhere near as awesome as a few records of theirs I could name, but good stuff nonetheless.

Lunatic Calm - Breaking Point

Some great electronica that I dug out from the murkier depths of the music library here, and could be due a review in me and Zarko's thread given which decade it belongs to. I still don't have their alleged classic Metropol which, incidentally, leads me to my next post that you'll find in the MB's most wanted thread

Name them. I caught Beds are burning the other day on VH1 and have been meaning to check some of their stuff out.

Diesel and Dust
Blue Sky Mining
Earth and Sun and Moon

You'd probably be best off getting them in that order too. Earth and Sun and Moon's my personal favourite - it's the punchier, most powerful and melodic of the three. Very uncluttered and stripped-down sound too. The other two are excellent too.

^ The second mixtape in that post has stuff from those albums on it, so worth a try if you wanna check them out.

edit - Beds Are Burning is on Diesel and Dust fyi

The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion by Dredg

Theres something about this album that always brings me back, you have to hear it from the beggining to the end. It is such a wonderful and unique experience, and Dredg's best album so far, no doubt about it.
