    How you doing Grieg. long time no see.
    Clearly blackandwhitearmy has it’s music lovers. The fellow buddies who can’t understand such a thread just need to look how many posts have been made. Am I writing in writing that it is the longest running thread? The Brittish music industry is one of the largest in the world and generates one of the government’s biggest incomes through tax.
    I consider myself a music fan with an over the top collection all filed under alphabetical order otherwise It would take too much time to find what I am looking for. MP3 players are helping however. I was going to add that I still hear music I have never heard through mates and the like that still get me excited and want to buy.

    I joined my ship on the 30th of June and im not back to my green and fertile land until July the 29th. This stopped me from getting the new Muse album straight away as it came out July the 5th or there about Anyway one of my work mates burned a copy and brought it to the ship today for me So I have had my first listen.
    Muse do not disappoint as every album they bring out is a big improvement over it's predecessor. This being the 4rth studio album " Black Holes And Revelations is an absolute cracker. The word innovative springs to mind , a to true modern day band. Great Album can't wait to see them next month in Edinburgh
    Another album I was looking forward to hearing which I have just heard for the first time is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Good album which I will buy when I come home. The first side sounds like the last album however their were some tracks that jumped out at me. The second disk it the one I really liked. A bit different for the Chillies. Good Album,

    Only the first song was bad after that it was spot on. I agree with you they are one of the better live bands. I was there last year in all that sunshine , Kasabian rock
    Hard Fi sounded great as well ,a band I want to see live now.
    I'm looking forward to guess it... Muse at T on the fringe 24th Aug. Trust me they are the best live band in the uk if not the world. Awesome what a f**kin sound live !

    A review of the great band MUSE’s new album from cd-wow. It’s a cracker by the way. Aye the album….
    With the ever growing glob of guitar bands around, it’s rare to find one with such a unique identity. But that’s what the Devon threesome have created in the near seven years from their stupendous ‘Showbiz’ album in 1999. It seems like they’ve been around longer, but maybe that’s down to the huge impact they put in each and every one of their tracks. The contrasting combination if raunchy guitars with cherubic vocals, and an impenetrable wall of sound which still is loaded with delicacy. Few would dare to mix a grand piano, with a wallop of bass, and then layered with the majesty of Mercurial voices - that’s both Freddy-esque and angelic.
    You instinctively know that the quiet twiddly start of “Take A Bow” is going to be short lived, and as soon as Matt Bellamy has got the message of burning in Hell across, the track gets bigger and bigger. Nifty sampled production mixed with old-school guitar work lead it intro a rock monster of genuine power, topped off with an ELO meets Queen crescendo at the end. Marvellous.
    If there has been criticism of the band before, then it was that they weren’t “accessible” enough (though with the blandness of so much pop, surely that’s an plus point) but the wonderful glam-tinged of “Starlight” followed by the shuffling Aerosmith catchiness of “Supermassive Black Hole” show that they can be as immediate as most of the twaddle of singles-land. But this is driven, inimitable, hi-thrills power.
    There’s the same massive appeal on “Map Of The Problematique”, which is also one of their danciest numbers to date. Industrial style - the Pet Shop Boys possessed by Satan. Naturally Matt, Chris & Dominic are easily adept in tweaking their style at will. “Soldier’s Poem” has the same pace and cleverly scribed pathos as the REM classic “Everybody Hurts” and tugs at the senses just as much. That sentiment dovetails perfectly with “Invincible” which marches on to another glorious climax.
    Never be in any doubt about their playing credentials either. The scintillating drumming on “Assassin” is as rip-roaring as Metallica, whilst still keeping their deeply melodic streak. “Exo-Politics” is probably the weakest track, but the trademark Queen-styled vocal harmonies lift it’s head above treading water. After that it’s the surprise of flamenco guitars and trumpets on “City Of Delusion” which evolves from prickly cactus accompanyment into another dark stomper. It’s the contrasts again that make it all work so well – thumping beats forged with lighter strings never leave the result turgid. You are enveloped by the sound, never brought down by it.
    By now they are firmly in Mexican territory, as the Latin guitar and trampled beat of “Hoodoo” is definitely enough to whip out the tequila. It’s majestically brooding, but this being Muse, they’ll never stay in one locale for too long. So they whip out the grand piano again. After all, you should never head south of the border without one. “Knights Of Cydonia” then sees them ride off into the sunset at a pacey gallop, with a sentiment of putting things right and fighting for our rights. It’s a defiant end to another work of inspired brilliance.
    They apply enough light and shade to make the result completely absorbing, resisting any temptation for grey areas in between. If ‘Absolution’ blew your socks off (as it should have done) three years ago, then this will do the same – only differently. It was deeper, darker, with a manic depressive rift before, this time out they have a jauntier feel melded with a still perky, fresh and rebellious quality. Their recent top 5 single was only a nudge away from their proven style of old, but showed that their unique edge can be accepted more by the mainstream these days. Never has a band been so worthy of collective appreciation.

    Must be copied from a VHS tape which means you are missing out on the remasterd version which has a sharper picture plus 5.1 surround sound and an extra dvd with interviews and back stage documentary. I can't wait to watch it. I was at the show with the late Stewart Jack of Cloud 9

    Have spent a couple of weeks listening to this. Only conclusion I can come to is a very average album
    The guitarist is the most boring player I have ever heard at this so called level. The guitarist uses the same boring storming sound on every song which makes a Status Quo guitarist sound intresting zzzzzzz !

    Raconteurs - Broken Boy Solders
    Jack White of the White Stripes new band which he say's will be long term and not a one off project. The sound is completely different from the White Stripes rock that is in your face.Raconteurs has more a classic sound to it which sounds familiar.
    Enjoyable i'm glad I bought it.

    Your right , I done the dj thing and spent loads of dosh in there. Gordon could always find the not so easy stuff on the market and gave me quite a few whilte label promotional records. I was always very grateful for as many I played months before becoming hits. Also got quite a few back stage passes from Gordon for smaller gigs in Glasgow. It is a shame what happens to Stereo One for Gordon was passionate about music. an ex dj himself..
    Still Listen was a very good shop leaning more to rock than pop........

    The 70's was something else for music. When you look how it progressed from 1970 throw to 1979. Has their really ever been another decade quite like it. Certainly not after the 70's. The 60's has to be recognised for the fact that new music was being introduced.
    To say a particular album is the best in the 70's is a very hard thing to do however an album I still play on a regular basis is the Steve Miller Band..Book Of Dreams. Luv it'a

    Bloody hell what kinda a day is this. First if was the first Police album bought now it's the first Rush album I bought and still have it to this day. I still have a turntable. My mate played me Xanadu and I thought. WHO THE FU-CK IS THAT. My introduction to Rush which i am very grateful for. Another class act.
    Ok guys lets be honest here.
    What is the first album you ever bought.
    Get this and I'm not proud of it though my excuse was I was very very young........ New Seakers "Ever lasting love" how sad. Mind you their was no one to slap me round the lug. Shortly after that embarrassing record I bought records like. Blac foot Sue, Slade , T Rex ,Sweet before moving onto Deep Purple.Black Sabath, Led Zep Bad Co. Memories !

    In interviews Sting has said that the Police never broke up. They just decided to take time out for a long break. Leaving the potential for a reunion one day However many years have past which makes it more unlikely for a reunion.
    Tickets for New Order.....

    I will be in Brazil in these dates. But hey Brazil sounds just as good as seeing New Order to me. So you boys will need to tell me just how good the gig was.
