Can't get enough...

Ooohh, I get to start a feedback thread, how exciting. Just sold an HX Stomp to @Oomo. faultless comms, seamless prompt payment, I was even offered a cuppa which doesn't happen often as I think I probably look like your default burglar. Deal with absolute confidence. Anyhoo, thanks @Oomo for a perfect transaction and for being a gentleman throughout. You qualify for The Frank Blank Seal Approval. Deal With Absolute Confidence.

Get some Mick Mills down your Gregory Peck son.

More Red Snapper...

A classic IMHO...

Really enjoying this thread, reconnecting with some old music and hearing some new stuff too, what could be better? Here's Black Sun Empire, not too bonkers, not too mellow, good grooves.

I think you'd dig Venetian Snares and maybe some Nurse With Wound.

A glass of Ribena and a mouthful of sherbert pips more like.

Just in case you feel like frying your noggin...

Digging GoGo Penguin at the moment, not D&B but there is a hint of it in there...

An absolute classic and one that certainly was an in for me...

Try some Photek, particularly the first two albums... Modus Operandi (1997) Form & Function (1998) I'm not sure there is anything to 'get' about any music, you either like it or you don't. I avoided Jazz for years because I thought I didn't 'get' it, or 'understand' it until I found myself just digging Duke Ellington. Personally I like some D&B because the grooves are huge. Come to think of it the reason I like some D&B is very similar to why I like some very heavy bands that just ride riffs, I'm thinking of Helmet here, they get into a really good riff and just groove. It's simple and quite pure, no guff.

I have never listened to post-Gabriel Genesis, not for any real reason, I just didn't then and don't now. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is my favourite album. Once Gabriel left I suppose it was A Trick of the Tail or Peter Gabriel 1, why I didn't try both I don't know? The stupidity of youth I suppose. I kicked all my prog music into touch for years after deciding punk and new wave was 'my' music, it was lovely to get off my high horse and reconnect with bands from before 1976-77 years later. I'm waffling, sorry.

Agreed, none of the unadulterated joy of The Who smashing up their gear or the daft chaos of The Damned doing similar, it just looks like petulant toss-pottery* from here. * not an obscure form of Dutch ceramic manufacture

Monkeys Bout Postrafees My new free jazz outfit, there.

Bruce here teaches classical philosophy, Bruce there teaches Haegelian philosophy, and Bruce here teaches logical positivism, and is also in charge of the sheep dip.
