jazzdog@groovemasters Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 TEX WILLIAMS AND THE SUNDOWNERS,THE GOLDEN HITS OF HANK WILLIAMS. Windmill WMD168, UK. The golden hits just keep rollin. Actually these guys (who on earth are they?) really carve it up on tracks like Honky tonk blues & My bucket's got a hole in it, bluesy rock style it isn't just a sound-alike tribute exploito record, even though it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hensa Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Haunting is an apt description for this London Grammar release. Beautiful music let down by a very poor pressing with distracting noise throughout.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfan Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 J Just played this on Tidal. An excellent 4 track acoustic set. Went to pre order the ltd ed vinyl on Domino site, but they want 15 pounds for it before shipping. No thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citroen Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) These sound as if they've been lifted straight from the original 78's. A least my MOV copy of King Of The Delta Blues Singers has been cleaned up, and doesn't sound to bad at all.

soundfan Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Susto: & I'm Fine Today Flac download, but have just purchased the vinyl from Amazon. A great country tinged alt rock album. Has me in mind of early Wilco, or The War On Drugs. As fine as it is, the artwork doesn't really give an indication of the music. No filler here either. A great Sunday arvo chill out album.

koputai Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 A funny kind of album, but only to be expected from Laurie. It sounds kind of like the soundtrack to a musical, less performance art than usual. Cheers, Jason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wim Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Bonobo - Migration. Although I have enjoyed Simon's work from the beginning, I feel I have moved on from Bonobo with this more-of-the-same release. A couple of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith albums (Ears and Euclid) arrived during the week so I'll be opening those and playing the vinyl shortly.

I hope MOV don't screw up the pressing, I find them hit and miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEN MISTER Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) I had only modest expectations for this, but it's actually a grower. It's closer to " ANIMALS" and "THE FINAL CUT" than " AMUSED TO DEATH". There are quite a few sonic references layered throughout, and it may be coincidental that "THE LAST REFUGEE" features drumbeats very reminiscent of the outro of Bowies "FIVE YEARS" - another song about the world spiralling out of control. " PICTURE THAT" could almost be an outtake from "ANIMALS", and features a rather beautiful keyboard line. Lots of sonic cut and paste, with radio news snippets, time calls, weather reports, clocks, bird calls, etc. In sonic terms, it has a lot of merit, but it's the lyrics that will keep you coming back, particularly as the lyrics printed on the cover have been ' art directed' into unreadability. No one expects Roger to record an upbeat dance album. This is a 'Roger' album. Bleak, angry with bonus ' finger-pointing'. The Trumpster makes a guest appearance. Billy.
