and then you hear them and realise they’re still amazing. Prodigy - Full Throttle just came on for me on random and I haven’t heard it for maybe 10-15 years and it just blew me away how good it still is, all those interlocking parts, wonderful work. What about you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
dunno but the prodigy has amazing arrangements |
||||||||
|
|

I just really love the prodigy and always forget about them I guess. |

Exactly. That album is wall to wall tunes |

would you believe i've never actually bothered with jilted gen, though i loved experience and fat of the land. passed me by somehow, rectifying this sorry state of affairs now |

Autechre - drane (from 94-5 but released later) always manages to blow me away. Kraftwerk, certain Yes tracks, Bowie, drexciya... there’s a lot of stuff I put aside for a while but that I never grow old of and always go back to. Autechre is good for that, a track like Rae will never get old for me. |

Skyline and break and enter are two prodigy songs that feel timeless to me. |
||||||||
|
|

And epic |

i was listening to ananda shankar - this morning for the first time in years, still great |

That ultradyne tangible ! Never loses that effect on me. |

I think you could make an argument that the first 3 prodigy albums are one of the best 3 album streaks in electronic music. LP5, confield & draft Exit planet dust, dig your own hole, surrender Blue lines, protection, mezzanine Post, homogenic, vespertine Would be other contenders for me |

always good when it happens |

That Bjork streak is hard to beat, but Surfer Rosa Doolittle Bossanova |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bossanova doesn't get nearly enough respect, it has one of their best songs ever: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed with the björkage... how about tom waits, with swordfishtrombones, rain dogs and frank's wild years? |

it was either you or Colin who reminded me of skylined the other month |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I love bossanova. trompe le monde is great as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im probably more likely to listen to those two than doolittle and sufer rosa now im older |
||||||||
|

what you mean, fo? er suppple'? |

Side 1 of Trompe le Monde is unbeatable, building to one of their best three-song sequences, Palace of the Brine, Letter to Memphis, and Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons. And even though it sags a little on side 2 it has one of my favorites - Motorway to Roswell, a sequel of sorts to The Happening. I can listen to Surfer Rosa anytime. I know everyone loves Doolittle but for some reason it's the one album I return to least. I acknowledge it's great and hugely influential, I just admire it from a distance. |

fucking hell, a lost world |
||||||||
|

|

yeah motorway to roswell is great, I think letter to Memphis, bird dream of Olympus mons might be my faves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Just listened to all three in a row. Was amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't forget the purple tape outtakes, years ago I burnt a cd with sufer rosa, come on pilgrim and the purple tape all together, was great |
||||||||

The last song on Trompe le Monde, The Navajo Know, makes me wistful for where I thought the Pixies were headed,... I've not been able to listen to any of the comeback material, (which is probably 20 years old itself now)... But yes, Bossanova and Tromp le Monde are as brilliant as any of their material. Baily's Walk is a great song which I haven't heard for ages. |

I really like the neil young cover, ive been waiting for you I remember years ago that there were some trompe le monde outtakes or it was going to be a double album or something brackish boy, i know was released on a solo album but sounds so good here |

in 2004 I saw the pixies at Trafford cricket ground, just after the stereophonics came on so we all left immediately, all their rugby type dickhead fans were throwing drinks on the people leaving, |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
One of the advantages of being old is that I saw the Pixies multiple times in their imperial pomp at the Town & Country Club, Kilburn Palace, then on and up to Brixton Academy and I think culminating, for me, at Crystal Palace bowl when Bossanova came out. They were supported by the Jesus and Mary Chain (who of course they do a cover of with "Head On") ... I've still got the ticket stubs if anyone wants a fight about it. Great days. Never to be repeated. It's all shit now. |

i like the jesus and mary chain as well, nice one |
