What's on the Turntable

[Will]

Great all round album playing and recording

 

[FranZAR]

Damien Rice
O
DRM Europe 2018

 

[Ben (BJ)]

Great Recording with excellent Covers

 

[JoziNic]

1983 - UK, Epic - Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble* - Texas Flood

 

[JonnyP]

Either Maritzburg's finest, or Maritzburg's most out of it back then, still making great music:

Confession, it's on the CD rather than the turntable mainly because I left my LP version in the UK in the 'first to be shipped' box which my mum forgot existed when my records were shipped. The CD version was R45 second hand NOS so, comparatively, a good deal. Still the best indie dance crossover as it does not play up to either genre, just creates that one. Madchester the mass capital:

Happy Mondays - Bummed

 

[JonnyP]

Lisa O'Neill - All of This Is Chance

One of the greatest albums of last year, if you like Peaky Blinders you may have heard her in the final scene singing Dylan. Her solo work is better than that, get the album:

Tonight the turntable is the focus. Mike (Fdlsys) created this, the plinth, the earthquake proof feet, the tone arm, and what better to use than an ECM record? Meredith Monk - Dolmen Music. RIP Mike

Drink till I'm drunk, and smoke till I'm senseless. True Brizzle, now where's me daps? Goin' St Paul's to get away from them bloody students....as they say!

Stone(d) cold classic:

 

[JonnyP]

Sunday morning going slow, I'm listening to my radio...still nothing compares to this lot! Marc Almond at his peak.

 

[JonnyP]

And now the perfect album for either chilling out or getting ready to party. They were amazing, and sadly passed.

Coil - Loves Secret Domain

 

[JonnyP]

Mellow time
Klaus Dinger and Japandorf aka Japandorf kind of Klaus getting the La Dusseldorf band back together as himself and some Japanese musicians. Whatever, it's pretty good:

 

[Will]

Don’t it make you wanna rock n roll all night long

 

[JonnyP]

Well, tonight, I'm shuttling weaving looms between my speakers as cues for a hidden orchestra and an unhidden bunch of string players in mellow lighting. Well, that was the plan:

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Trans

 

[JonnyP]

After a bit of Bark Paychosis I decided to go full post-rock. Bought this second hand so no DVD, but the music is what counts. A band very much enamored of GYBE! and mid-period Mogwai ('My Father My King') it seems. Bloody good though:

Mono - Holy Ground (Live in NYC)

 

[JonnyP]

The most underproduced album with a producer ever. Not even trying to be lo-fi, it just is: (original Verve US copy)

 

[JonnyP]

Despite what the hoards of indie pop bands said back in the eighties, and all the critics, this was the Velvet Underground album they used as a touchstone, not the Warhol album, not WLWH, but post-Cale Doug Yule Era. Just listen to side one (Who Loves The Sun, Sweet Jane, Rock & Roll, Cool It Down, New Age, and that's before side 2) and you have every indie hit from 1981 to 1995 done (cool cover to boot):

 

[JonnyP]

And the last for the evening, one of two of the top ten live albums (IMHO) which feature Lou Reed. Wish I was older!

 

[JonnyP]

My life laid bare
