Re: The Music Discussion Thread - Your favourite BEIRUT albums
I'm a bit like your mate ges, not particularly into music so much any more. Totally understand how he grew out of it. Jane (McDonald) brought me back from the brink really, (hope our hector doesn't read that ).....but I was totally engulfed in what I listened to tonight....stunning, absolutely stunning....gessa wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 10:13 pm I've a mate who hadn't bought an album since the early 80's, was into his Whitesnake, Iron Maiden etc at that time but grew out of it and never found anything else, became a talk radio type of guy. One morning a few years back he came to my house to do a job and as it happened I had the TFCC playing, he asked me what it was and if I'd play it again, which I did, he ordered it the next day.

Well that was a surprise, a pleasure Swannie.whiteswan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:52 pm For music to have an impact on me, I know when that 'flutter' of excitement suddenly hits, then the soar of emotion and then having to listen to the whole song because I can't not listen to it....that just happened ............that first song is just so brilliant, I just had to listen to all three. I will be downloading the album tomorrow....or rather Mr Swan will be....thank you Leon
So pleased you enjoyed those clips, their music is emotive also reminds me of being abroad on a desert island or in some sunny place. Even though The Flying Club Cup is now over ten years old when I go back to it I keep playing it over & over again the album fills me with joy every time
Those who dismiss it are missing out on something truly wondrous
Re: The Music Discussion Thread - Your favourite BEIRUT albums
Funny enough our builder/friend who recently laid our patio (the one I got into Dead South) also loves the album. I think the whole neighbourhood heard TFCC that week Rob was here as he couldn't get enough of the albumgessa wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 10:13 pm I've a mate who hadn't bought an album since the early 80's, was into his Whitesnake, Iron Maiden etc at that time but grew out of it and never found anything else, became a talk radio type of guy.

That's because it is totally different to what you've heard before, it sounds so fresh & magical, as you say "absolutely stunning"whiteswan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 12:24 am I'm a bit like your mate ges, not particularly into music so much any more.

Beirut reminds me a little of Black Carrot in their avant gardeness. I think of the two I'd prefer to listen to Carrot.
