🇬🇧 David Bowie "Diamond Dogs" – 1974

A dystopian and theatrical concept album inspired partly by Orwellian imagery and urban decay, the record unfolds like a post-apocalyptic stage production.
Bowie’s vocals are expressive and theatrical, shifting between menace, exhaustion, and swagger...

CATHERINE WHEEL
Chrome
2023 UK reissue

End of a long, beautiful, productive, AND frustrating Saturday.

In full unwind mode right now, and immediately went for this.

I had “Kill Rhythm” in my head all day today for some reason, so itch scratched.

I waffle back and forth between which of the first two CW records are my favorite. Sometimes I feel it COULD be Ferment, but I always end up landing on Chrome.

This definitely has three of my favorite Catherine Wheel tunes on it in the aforementioned Kill Rhythm, Crank, and Show Me Mary.

Being that I don’t spend a lot of time in the UK, I’m not sure how revered Catherine Wheel are over there, or what their reputation is, but for me, they are one of the most underrated bands ever.
Just a killer run of albums, great singles, a great frontman with a signature voice.
You know who you’re listening to.
There’s no confusing them for anybody else.

MORT GARSON
Mother Earth’s Plantasia
2019 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
Green vinyl

A bright, beautiful Saturday afternoon, and I’m keeping it cheerful with this masterpiece.

Just a continuation of the inordinate amount of Mort Garson I’ve been listening to lately.

I also have an original pressing of this, WITH the book included, and with the original sticker of the mattress store that gave them away when you bought a new mattress.

I try not to listen to my OG TOO often, but this reissue sounds great regardless.

Just a masterpiece.

Roy Ayers - "Fever" (1979)

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kOnixwkMJ96V5Znw6Ski-n7KpFhxSXqDw

Unheard record retrieved from the shelf. Good in parts! (Funky rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" was unnecessary.)

VARIOUS ARTISTS
No Songs Tomorrow (Darkwave, Ethereal Rock And Coldwave 1981 - 1990)
2024 UK 4xCD Box Set

Man, what a great snag today.

I’ve really been enjoying these Cherry Red CD box sets (Cut Me Deep, Scared To Get Happy), and this one may be my favorite one so far.

This covers a whole decade of #etheral / #coldwave / #darkwave music, and it’s beautifully curated and sequenced to perfection.

Some big names are here like The Cure, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Soft Cell and more, but it’s also got some KILLER songs by bands that I didn’t know that much about, like Invisible Limits, Twice A Man, and Museum Of Devotion to name a few.
It’s a phenomenal collection.

I’ve got three of these Cherry Red comps now, and I’ve got one more on hold for me down at my local shop called Cherry Stars Collide: Dream Pop, Shoegaze & Ethereal Rock 1986-1995 that I’ll be bringing home next.
