...following Scott Walker & Mark Hollis deceased A.D. 2019, then Penderecki & Morricone this year. An Odyssey of a loss.
You've likely heard the
Albatross instrumental piece be Fleetwood Mac at some point, it's been a huge hit of kind that keeps coming back like a bad penny.
Just out of my impulse buying
Then Play On album's reissue by Rhino Records, I tell you this: rarely a CD this long does not outstay its welcome listened to as a whole, but this one doesn't. Not only does it compile all tracks ever originally released under
Then Play On title (be it in UK, or in the U.S.), but it ends up with the latest studio recordings made by Fleetwood Mac & Greeny, that is:
The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown) indeed, and
World in Harmony instrumental.
That's a CD almost guaranteed to please my mom with, it has to be said.
Herr Schatten wrote:If you enjoy Electric Scum, you should definitely check out its predecessor Symbols for the Blue Times. It suffers from a weak sound, but the songs are among DA's best.
Weak sound production is such a plague of the period that I EXPECT it rather than pity. Ross Robinson truly was a groundbreaking record producer, and one of the year 1996's redeemers.
P.S. Listen to the Fleetwood Mac's
Oh Well song, just do. Didn't Jane's Adiction flat out ripped off its riff in their
Mountain Song? As did Nirvana do with Killing Joke's
Eighties riff in their
Come As You Are.
