I’m big into ambient electronica stuff such as Orb, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis (Blade Runner is possibly my fave album) & so on. Ive had a little listen to Modeselektor & Aparat, but not had a proper listen as yet. Nice to find another BCer here into ambient electronica. I didn't mention Woob and his two must have albums 1194 and 4495. There are a few of us around here not many but that's ok. Do you like the Bladerunner 2024 soundtrack too? It's excellent. Worked brilliantly in the cinema. I too like John Carpenter's soundtracks. Prefer him as a composer than film maker though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to have a listen to Woob. Really liking Solar Flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) The last new-to-me band to make me go wow! was Frost*. Doubly so when I saw them live. Edited January 9, 2019 by Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Like others here I very rarely get the 'wow' moment when listening to music that's new to me these days, especially as I'm not involved at the sharp end any more. I guess the closest I've come in living memory would be Guthrie Govan's Erotic Cakes CD. Guthrie gets the limelight of course, but brother Seth is a mighty fine bass player IMHO. In the dim & distant past I remember seeing Free play live at the Lees Cliffe Hall in Folkestone in 1970 and being mightily impressed even though they never played 'All Right Now' at any point in the set. In a similar vein I recall first hearing 'In the Court of the Crimson King' while at school and liking it quite a lot. Zappa's 'Hot Rats' would be a broadly similar vintage IIRC. I don't doubt there's some great music out there that I still haven't discovered yet so who knows...?

Old Man Riva Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I stumbled across White Denim on 6Music a few years back and was blown away. Not too keen on recent records but the albums D and Corsicana Lemonade were played to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth a listen. Love Nathaniel Rateliffe & The Night Sweats. Off to see then at the Barrowlands next week in Glasgow. Cannae wait. Think they are the only band me and my wife agree on.

gs_triumph Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 American Babies album An Epic Battle Between Darkness and Light was probably the last to just grab me.

After Corsicana lemonade the drummer and guitarist left to work with soul artist Leon bridges, which would explain the drop in quality. They were both great musicians but the drummer was outstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Bit of an odd one but last year i joined a covers band doing songs by Greg Allman who i had never actually heard before. Also Tony Joe White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t realised the drummer and guitarist left - agree the drummer was especially good. There’s a version of At the Farm on YouTube featuring those two that is just so good - shades of Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac in the guitar playing.

I saw them as support for Black Sabbath 'The End' at the O2 Arena. Fab band! I liked this an awful lot when I first heard it, still do.

Count Bassy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Rather an old band, but was introduced to 'Little Feat', about a year ago and love their stuff. I'm of an age where I should have known them from my youth, but they somehow passed me by. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
