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.

@bulldog: Much obliged...(:

Found a few things I`ve missed lately which I plan to revisit tonight.... namely, U2's Zooropa album as well as In Rainbows by Radiohead... along with the bonus disc.....wahoo!

One of their best for sure. I love Zooropa. Better than anything else they did post- Achtung Baby.

scottsy · 11-20-2009, 05:03 PM

Yeah, for my mind it has the best of all things U2 can do..... dance / electronica, mixed with balladry and all out rock numbers. Some may see it as an oddity or a bitsa album rushed out during a long assed tour, but for my mind it's one of their most, carefree, solid and throughly enjoyable pieces. Rivals Achtung Baby for my fave U2 album.
