Mystik Spiral Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 hehe i can give you a few recommendations if you'd like... i can guarantee my whitebread rap tastes are probably easier to digest for someone new to hip hop compared to more knowledgeable folks  yes, please.  i downloaded andrew bird too late last night and fell asleep before the first song was over... have to try again today.

Chendizzle Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm also going to have to disagree with you Good, Bad & Queen haters - I think it's a great album, but it's a definite grower. It's so understated and delicately arranged that it's an album you actually have to listen to. If its just on in the background, it just doesn't work... It is, however, a very British album, so not everyone might get it. Never could get into Blur either, maybe I'm not cut out for Brit rock. Deleted it but kept History Song, 80's Life, and Herculean, enjoyed those songs. NP:Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha On second listen and it's sounding great  I was obsessed with the Fingerlings 3 version of 'Dark Matter' and I'm a little disappointed that the main riff looped throughout that version is more understated in the studio version where it doesn't kick in til the end. Still a good song but I think I prefer the Fingerlings one, maybe repeated listens will prove me wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 i definitely prefer the studio versions of Dark Matter and Scythian (especially the latter) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chendizzle Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 i definitely prefer the studio versions of Dark Matter and Scythian (especially the latter)Â I agree about Scythian, but that intro on Dark Matter is too damn good, those plucks. And I miss the xylophone, or whatever it is Dosh is playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 This is pretty good. I may have to check their back catalogue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rghammo Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007  only my second time through, but damn... this is really really nice. Still early for me too but I think I like this better than Mysterious (and I loved it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brianjeremy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007  Awesome album. My cat likes that record - she's all the time knocking it off my shelf. I read a Child's Chrstmas in Wales as a poem one day to all of my students at school. T'was awesome. NP:The Shins - Wincing the Night Away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I listen to this a lot more than I thought I would when I grabbed it 900 years ago or whenever it leaked. Not what I expected, but super good regardless. Might have to get that super vinyl edition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
