Ulysses Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 Don't argue, post the album you've heard that means you can go to music paradise. One per post. Shove your lists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_ Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk. 30 years old now, and nothing's come close since (apart from the follow-up, Laughing Stock). Just the right mix of soul, orchestration, noise, ambience and sheer beauty. Edited February 9, 2019 by Craig_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to see them? Sadly not in Dublin, unless I pay a fortune to a "secondary" seller. I missed the chance to get tickets for their Malahide Castle gig in June. I still haven't given up on another European venue, and trying to figure out how I work a gig into a holiday trip. Oeiras looks like an attractive option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Konrad von Carstein Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Transformer, Lou Reed. Can't begin to describe the effect this had on me on first hearing, amazing, and made me look further for musical influences...apparently I like a lot of weird stuff, quotes from Mrs KvC and #1 daughter.
