Herman 9,765 Posted April 9, 2020 My brother is a big Steven Wilson fan and he persuaded me to see this band, one that Wilson has produced. More emotional rock than I am used to but really good live. Pleasantly surprised with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You put on the selected album on at the same time on the same day. If you then go on twitter someone from that band tweets stories around the making of that album. Here’s a list of all those listening parties with dates. https://timstwitterlisteningparty.com/ A little follow up. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/apr/10/tim-burgess-twitter-listening-parties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,519 Posted April 10, 2020 @Ron, That's a Stravinsky I've not seen. Reminded me of Pan's People at one point. Very light. I have Firebird, Petrushka and Rites in my collection. He is a genius and an acquired taste too. Not heard Skellern for years! What a voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought it time for a light selection (after the apocalypse). The ballet made me burst out laughing when they nodded their heads. Such a sweet little dance. Love the backing group in Genius. i'd forgotten what a babe Tina Weymouth was. Just a fun little song. Did you recognise the Shostakovitch? It was the perfect opener for the programme - Ever Decreasing Circles indeed! Skellern was a great example of a singer who can't sing - well, not by any objective standard. But it doesn't matter, it's a wonderful voice; soothing, gentle, full of love, romance & compassion. RIP Peter. In case you were worrying I've made a list - I've got a million of 'em, so won't run out. You lucky people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ever Decreasing Circles...no I didn't know. But I have a renewed admiration for some of those 'sitcoms' of the 70s and 80s for some reason plus Richard Briers was an interesting character! I'm going for an ambient theme later. Edited April 10, 2020 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,519 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) A broad basket of goodies this evening: 1. Kate Bush. Such emotion in this particular piece 2. Sam Lee. Unusual piece. Only heard of this bloke a month ago (Jasper Sea) 3. Still Corners...breathy vocals, about 4 simple chords and occasional dropped snare beat. The metronomic beat is music to drive to (but not beyond your lockdown area) 4. Yusuf Lateef ..... nice ....just to end with (from 1962) Edited April 13, 2020 by sonyc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the lyric in the chorus has a universal quality, perhaps archetypal is an even better description. And... "make it go away" seemed apt for these times too.
