Like everything bar the Tull, not really a fan tbh, though I know a few that are.

Re: Playlist over the last week......
They were the first progressive, ie slightly experimental, music that I discovered, aged about 12. Everything up to Stormwatch is worth a listen imo. First saw them in '81, when they still had their 70s pomp.
Like Anderson's lyrics, and the instrumentation on the early stuff is up there. Listen mostly for nostalgia now, but I still have Tull phases.

Re: Playlist over the last week......
ISON - SEVDALIZA, plus her EP's have been on rotation all day....If you love/like Max Richter, Portishead and Massive Attack, please come join in...Been a long time since a 10/10 album came from nowhere. Last one was probably August and Everything After - Counting Crows. Before that Pixies - Surfer Rosa ... Both were loved from the first play and haven't faltered at all, I'm certain ISON, also a debut, will remain a well loved album

Re: Playlist over the last week......
Listening to it now. It's excellent, and I've ordered the CD. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking because Dummy already exists, and it also reminds me of Bowie's Blackstar, released the previous year. Great heads up though, thanks, and I'm sure it'll be a grower too...

Re: Playlist over the last week......
It's the middle eastern influences that make it different and the fact it's heavily laced with Max Richteresque orchestrals ... I'm not actually a fan of Blackstar I have to say.SaraM wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:03 am Listening to it now. It's excellent, and I've ordered the CD.

How did I get there? ...Via Billy Eilish who said "Human" inspired "You should See Me In A Crown"
that voice though...
and did I use the phrase groundbreaking, apologies if I did as even I stated the influences

Re: Playlist over the last week......
Love the voice and the middle eastern vibe (I think that's what I was getting from Blackstar, which might just be in my head!)
I think I got the 'groundbreaking' thing from the comparison to Surfer Rosa etc, but reading again maybe you were just saying a 10/10 debut, in which case, no quibble.
Always smile when references to Max R come up, as I still think of him as the ginger lad who spent too much time listening to Mike Oldfield!

Re: Playlist over the last week......
LOL..not sure I have any image if Max...just love his work, especially Memoryhouse. Yes the reference to CC and The Pixies was just it's one of those great debuts that probably lives with you for the rest of your life..The other two haveSaraM wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:51 am Love the voice and the middle eastern vibe (I think that's what I was getting from Blackstar, which might just be in my head!)

Re: Playlist over the last week......
I've probably name dropped him before, but we were teenage friends. We even played music together a few times, although he wasn't really interested in being in a band.
He introduced me to a lot of the music he was listening to at the time, things like Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Mike Oldfield, which are exciting when you're fifteen, it's the 80s, and you haven't heard them before.
Never thought he'd make it as a composer like he has, and never imagined I'd be a fan of his music forty years later. What I thought of as him being up himself, especially when he went off to Edinburgh, was probably just the single mindedness and self belief he needed to succeed.
