Godspeed You! Black Emperor, 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! So fucking good. It energizes and elates, soothes and moves. I can't recommend this album enough.

i'll see if I can get to it this week. I'll want to have some time with it rather than just listening at work, of course.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 7:20pmMake better choices!Kory wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 6:50pmI wish I had more timeDr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 6:36pmI'm surprised that you're not into these guys already, actually, as they seem right up your alley.Kory wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 6:19pmThat's high praise indeedDr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2018, 3:08pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
John Squire is the only rock legend I've ever met. Seahorses show in Milwaukee back in maybe 1997/98. Chris Helme did a short solo set and Squire was just standing off to the side of the stage (it was a small club) and I walked up and said hello. Seemed like a really nice guy. Chatted for a few minutes. I think he was a little surprised that some young kid from Wisconsin knew so much about the Roses!

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Haven’t ever listened to that album, but I do have a compilation album which I think includes nearly all of it. Was lucky enough to be at the Manchester Justice Tonight show when Brown and Squire made their Roses comeback.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Which comp do you have as the sound on some of the Roses comps is appalling plus some tracks are shortened. I'd recommend this as a stand alone album as the track selection makes sense in the right order. It is like listening to s/t UK version or Essential Clash.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The two-disc re-release of that first album is all a person needs. It avoids the shoddy edits of those compilations, plus it allows one to pretend they fell into a volcano before that wretched second album.101Walterton wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:18pmWhich comp do you have as the sound on some of the Roses comps is appalling plus some tracks are shortened.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The two-disc has all of that and more, without the edits. Tho, I admit, because I don't do physical product anymore, the idea of single albums, meaning not having to change the cd, doesn't guide my judgment, so the convenience of one disc could hold some appeal.laxman wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:35pmstone roses.jpgDr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 7:29pmThe two-disc re-release of that first album is all a person needs.

If you listen to it through headphones it is like white noise tracking track.
Sound aside it only has 5 of the 11 excellent tracks on The Stone Roses and they are out of sequence and badly edited.
Apart from that a good comp
