This was reissued last year, but seems it has the same noise problems as the 2011 reissue release (which I have).
I covet anyone who has the original 2003 lp!

Its been a long time coming, about 6 years between albums for my favourite dark ambient jazz group Bohren & Der Club of Gore.
Simply stunning stuff. Moody, dark and atmospheric - Patchouli Blue.
Highly recommended.

Indeed moody, ambient, German.

What AM I listening to?

I am a non-recovering audioholic, and Ivor is my higher power.

That's got me stumped LinnBoy

Is "AM" an obscure clue?

Throw us a bone LinnBoy. Its driving me crazy

I first thought it was this, but doesn't match

Okeydoke. If it was easy it wouldn't be fun.

The opening line of the album is:

"There was one room in her house, that was always kept locked. It was, the garage!"

No idea as have never heard that line or seen that cover.

But google came up with some weird thing with Buicks...

and dolbys

great cover, great album

Man I cant even remember the last time I played that album....

I’ve had that album for many years, haven’t heard it since mid 90s! The only album by Thomas Dolby that I own.

The Golden Age of Wireless was even better

I only know the hit single She Blinded Me With Science with Magnus Pyke

According to my database, I only have one TD. This vinyl copy, purchased in London:



(Not sighted in my collection for decades and ahem...probably only played once or twice)     

"I see music as a lifetime affair." [Rory Gallagher]

Also have this in my collection, the original laserdisc with dts sound

Whats the story of this on vinyl? Sound quality?

After the weekend concert, it's only fitting....

The Flatlanders' seminal 'rediscovered' album, 40 years after it was recorded in Odessa, Texas in '72.

Luke Hurley on vinyl after many many years. HAPPY ISLES, Holiday Records pressing

First spin, first impression?
Very well recorded/mastered, instantly came alive, crystal clear and full of body. A nice upfront presentation. A sonic triumph!

Musically, Luke hasn't strayed far from his roots and this will sound very familiar to his fans. Would have liked a bit more contrast and more quieter, contemplative parts. But perhaps that's just my current mood...

Reworking of Albatross is excellent.

Highly recommended, from a long time, highly biased Hurley supporter.

i've got those too !

koyaanisqatsi 1987 us lp, powaqqatsi 1988 us lp

still waiting for a vinyl version of the Naqoyqatsi soundtrack to complete the trilogy.

RSD exclusive, 1500 copies worldwide of koyaanisqatsi (unfortunately not Naqoyqatsi).

First time the complete soundtrack on double lp. Not hopeful that this will be easy to get esp downunder.

thanks

foveaux introduced me to this artist some time back.  

Sometimes its perfect.

and for a quiet, reflective moment:

Isn't Mindy's version so achingly plaintive?

"I see music as a lifetime affair." [Rory Gallagher]

long time pat metheny fan but his latest album put me to sleep

Vinyl yet to arrive but in the meantime have been listening to the download. Enjoyable. Maybe need a few more listens to really get into it.

Gustav Mahler Sym 2, "Resurrection"

C Minor really is a wonder scale!
