Condolences for your loss, I went to see Les Miserables last week which was one of my Dads faves and blubbed like a big girly thinking about the old fool. but time is the great healer they say it is, one problem is of course that music being more important to us than 'normal ' folk, certain pieces of music will evoke memories and surprises for many years all the best anyway for you & yours

Just checked Horisont out on eMusic: I assume 'Tva Sidor Av Horisonten' is the album to which you're referring. They're to Wishbone Ash what Airbourne are to AC/DC: a near exact copy, with a healthy dose of 'Tons Of Sobs' era Free thrown in on the slower numbers - one of which is such a blatant steal of 'Walk In My Shadow', I fear plagiarism suits. In short, I like! Good call, MC: thank you.

High Wolf - Shangri L.A. I'm throughly enjoying this one now, after initial trepidation. Led Zep - Houses of the Holy Demdike Stare - Liberation Through Hearing Still not quite doing it for me in the way Forest of Evil does. Daphne Oram - Oramics Bleep! Glarp! Weeee! Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal Emeralds - Does it Look Like I'm Here? Lots of Kosmik Radiation shows (again!) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon, Phaedra (will I ever tire of these?) Donovan - Colours Second Family Band - Dream Release This really is a good lofi ear massage 8-)

Dog 3000 wrote: Liz Phair was a big pothead back in those days. "Guyville" sort of sounds like she recorded it herself on a 4-track, though I think it was a real band in a real studio. I've always felt there were a handful of excellent tracks, but it's not one of my favorites of that era. Unlike the first two Breeders albums, which are timeless classics. How dare you lump Kim Deal in with those other posers!! ;-) Definitely a handful of excellent tracks but a low strike rate for an 18 track album! I just don't get Kim Deal or any of the US 4AD contingent really other than a few Pixies cuts. I don't get on much better with the UK shoegazing scene. It's that thing I describe of taking the rock out of rock. I just don't see the point of that in the mid to late 80s other than as an anti-corporate, anti- hair metal thing. I guess this was also all happening on the cusp of the widespread use of fluoxetine to treat anxiety and "depression" and this was coinciding with more widesperad piss testing in the work place and the whole "Just Say No" thing. I can see why there might have been a cultural shift from forms of self-medication to Prozac that would radically change the music people made. Just a guess on my part. For once maybe I do blame the drugs.

The opening track is a cracker and there's some decent tunes there. Reminds me of the Teardrops in a couple of places - indeed there's definitely an early 80's pop influence there IMO. Having said all that, I preferred the last one. What about you?

Fitter - not sure we've conversed before but my condolences are offered your way. Music is a funny old beast when it's a daily obsession and comes clattering into an ultra real life situation like a death in the family. I lost my brother last summer and couldn't relate to anything with song lyrics for a while as I read too much into them (not describing this well but pretty sure you know what I mean). Chucking on some Neil Young or stuff of that ilk had me blubbing and reaching for the stop button, even the good old Stones weren't of much use. The one salvation for a good while was the Sun Araw albums Beach Head and Heavy Deeds as they allowed me to drift away on head journeys with no link to everyday emotions. I actually sent him an email saying that and some other things too and he replied saying he was amazed that his music was helping me cope and what not. Anyways, things will be tough but I hope you ride over the nasty bumps with not too many bruises. Back to the main event of listening pleasures: PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love Sun Araw - On Patrol (that man again! and I really must get round to buying Magic Lantern 'Platoon') Johnny Cash - Unchained Fire In My Bones - Various, stunning 3 disc gospel compilation Performance - Film Soundtrack Talking Heads - More Songs.... Kris Kristofferson - Jesus Was A Capricorn Sat and watched The Damned Utd last night. Wonderful stuff....apart from the horror show wigs that the Leeds players/actors were sporting!

Having said all that, I preferred the last one. What about you? I agree. I think I said in an earlier SOOLs that I could hear a slight Copeiness to it- definitely more poppy- in a laid-back, Talk Talk kinda way- and less motorik than before and yes, I still prefer the debut but How To Live needs many more listens I think. I suspect it'll get under the skin eventually. Got the Black Dot White Spider remix EP today too, but haven't listened to it yet. Mixes will be up as free downloads on their website too, apparently.
