#np Yes - "Keystudio" Only regarded, & released, as a 'compilation' this is (imho) one of the best studio albums the band never made. A classic sound & line-up, with excellent short & long form tracks. Happily I understand that Cherry Red will release a vinyl version of this in January.
Not normally a big Pet Shop Boys fan, but I was intrigued by the concept of their latest release. It's pretty good, in a not quite ambient manner. #np "A Man From the Future"
Been playing this a fair bit over the last week. It's a little different from previous albums but has really grown on me. I recommend a listen 😎👍 #np Held By Trees - "The Call Of Home"
This 9 albums thing seems to be taking off, so here are 9 albums which always appear in any top 20 that I put together. A list as I'm having issues posting pictures. Revolver Abraxas Close To The Edge Hot Rats In The Court Of The Crimson King Five Leaves Left Quintessence St Radigunds Stand Up
#np Roy Harper - "Stormcock" You can lead a horse to water But you're never gonna make him drink And you can lead a man to slaughter But you're never gonna make him think
#np Corvus Stone - "Corvus Stone II" Something from (mostly) Finland for the coffee break.
The BBT'thon reaches studio album 11. 2017 and the third album in 2 years, which IMHO is begining to show in the mix of re-worked older tracks amongst the new. Not a bad album but weak by comparison with it's predecessors.
A return to the BBT'thon and the 10th studio album, this a companion to "Folklore" #np Big Big Train - "Grimspound"
Sad to hear that the final chapter of the Enid is about to be written as they close the Endii, stop live performance and set to release one last studio album. I for one will miss the band, although their back catalogue is rather magnificent.
Bloody Reform going door to door and there's no election due anywhere near😡
A return to the BBT'thon with their 8th studio album. A stable line-up and a continued theme make this another exceptional album. #np Big Big Train - "English Electric Part Two" (from the 2019 remaster.
So this has just arrived, thanks Postie, should keep me occupied for a while 😎 #np Spell Songs - "In Thin Air"
