Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Hey, come on, Bernard. I know the wee fella might be a bit strange and there's perhaps a lack of quality control, but some of the stuff on those two are different class. KT Tunstall's a big fan, I hear.... I'm goin' down...to Alphabet Street.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Eels - Souljacker 207995[/snapback] Only one of theirs Iain't got even though I saw them on that tour. Any good? (Look, I know it's the Eels and that's a bit of a stupid question. I mean put it in context with, say, Beautiful freak or Daisies of the Galaxy.)

As for Souljacker, maybe a wee bit darker (no, seriously) than their other albums. Well worth getting yourself a copy, its as good as the rest of the catalogue.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Prince - Parade 210487[/snapback] In years gone by I was never that big a Prince fan. There was a girl I knew at school was massively into him but I was unimpressed. Then I found myself liking one or two songs then one or two more then bit the bullet and picked up some of his stuff then picked up some more. Yeah, a lot of it is patchy and no one who was as prolific as that is going to have albums free from the odd bit of dross (except, perhaps, 70s Bowie) but from about Purple Rain to Diamonds & Pearls inclusive it’s a close to dross-free as you can get. I only got Parade a few months back and have been knocked out by it. It starts off pretty weird but really comes on to a game then climaxes to a stunning final track. A definite fave from the wee fellow. As is D & P. Aye, he was a talented MF at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parade is probably the pick of the bunch, but it's an amazing run of albums, comparable to Stevie Wonder's early 70s prolific run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingford Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 It's all a matter fo taste and being open to new ideas, patterns concepts - and I admit to getting too set in my ways. I was actually getting round to thinking that maybe I'd dismissed Prince too quickly and should perhaps try again, after some comments on here, but... Colin's comment about stevie wonder set me straight. I just have never liked strained, squeaky-voiced singers who over-produce their stuff. Simplicity and directness is always best for me. Those two don't do that. And as for the wummin, Bush...? I've been amazed at the groundswell of liking of her new double-album (bikrist!), on this thread, too. Songs about washing machines are pretty cutting edge and relevant. Just not to me, I'm happily afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear what you're saying about Stevie and Prince though, sometimes there's a fine line between brilliant arrangement and overproduction. They both overstepped it eventually IMO, but not before both having a great run of music. Plus, some of the song-writing is incredible, even if it was over-imbellished.
