Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

I do and love it! I completely missed more live ‘72 Bowie officially released on the 30th Anniversary of Aladdin Sane.

 

Absent Lovers - my first foray into 1980’s King Crimson, prompted by discussion here. It’s an interesting incarnation. There’s certainly an 80’s feel to the sound (some songs more than others) but it still has that KC intensity. I liked it.

Industry particularly caught my attention the first time through as that one gets more out there. “Thank you very much. Would you like some more of the weird stuff?”

The Talking Heads influence via Adrian Belew is also apparent on certain songs as some of you have mentioned previously. I’d forgotten about that connection until I was listening to it today but it really stands out.

 

I see King Crimson as an entity which morphs, reacts to its cultural environment, but never loses its essence. Sort of a David Bowie!

 

Speaking of Bowie...
I like the way the old Ryko CD of this title sounds.

 

One thing leads to another...

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

 

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!!!

Rory G. is still whipping my tail this week (I can't get enough of Jinx, Top Priority and Fresh Evidence!!!) but I'm gonna dip into Roxy/Ferry and see if it does anything for me

 

I'm usually not one for massive stretches of ambience in my music, but "He Loved Him Madly" is wonderful

 

I couldn't say I'm the biggest Frank Zappa fan in the world, but I can say I absolutely love this album - the level of musicianship is quite amazing.

 

None of those are Against the Grain. You need ATG.

 

I've been listening to that one too!!!

 

Ok, so ive not heard a second of Roxy or Ferry prior to 5 minutes ago.

Just heard Virginia Plain

Woah. That was awesome.

 

Roxy Music

Ladytron

This resonates with me.

I feel like Bill & Ted

"wooaahhhh!"

On sax but Louis & Miles reign supreme on trumpet

 

With Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan nipping at their heels.

 

Have you seen this clip yet?

 

Wow, this is so so brilliant - never seen this before, my brain hurts...

 

Yes thats what I saw!!!

 

The potted plant in front of the guitarist really adds to the whole thing.

 

Generally I'm not interested in Woodstock, but that's a really fine set.

 

Top 5 wish I was there has to include Roxy Music live with Eno
