What Are You Listening To?

Music for Insomniacs - Matt Berry - can't stop listening to this. Quirky and cool all at the same time.

Having ANOTHER go at this - this is growing on me big time. Love it.

On my to listen to list , thanks J man !

Been playing it non-stop for a couple of days now, with other artists in between spins. For me, and my rather distorted sense of taste, this is becoming the best thing I have listened to in years. Hope he does a follow up in a similar vein.

I looked up Matt Berry's bio,,,very talented man ...comedian, writer, composer, musician, actor...I had to look twice!

Jean Michel Jarre - Chronologie - far edgier than his previous works - quite complex too - lots of different things happening at the same time as opposed to the simpler 'Oxygene' & 'Equinoxe'. Quite like it now after initially not really liking it much. Has grown on me with repeated plays.

Trawling around and exploring Ed Starink's stuff, which is quite new to me, and looking for his own work (rather than the covers), I found something I like -

....ok, occasionally, i will buy an album or two by someone im not really sure of with a giftcard because i dont actually physically lay out my money in doing so...!
this was one of those albums...sometimes the selection works,other times it doesnt and this time it didnt!
album is full of electronic synth work...and i cant stand that stuff...
whats worse IMO, is the use of one of those stupid voice altering Vocorders...if Neil Young cant get away with that crap with me,these guys have no chance!
admittedly, the use of vocorder is not on all tracks...its the four real tracks without that, that i do like(but lets get it straight...i said 'like' and not 'love'!)....
theres also two instrumentals on here, the second one, which also happens to be the final track on the album isnt too bad...and im generally not an instrumental guy!
theres also a WTF moment on here for me in track #3 whereby one of the Daft guys talks over a music track for nine minutes as to how he learned guitar and wanted to be in a band, sorry, too artsy-fartsy for my liing also!
most catchy track on here by far is the worldwide #1 hit "get lucky", but my favourite one that i would describe as "light pop" and linked below....
now, this post was based on an initial listen of this album so its probably a bit unfair to rate this album on a first listen....
no, its not, it is fair!
this is a piece of crap, and i cannot understand how it sold millions of copies and picked up five or six Grammy's....
i dont like it...
never thought i would....
never will and, its going to be lucky if it doesnt end up in the trash!

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

album rating:

3s= you gotta be joking!
