Rock - what are you listening to?

Never really got into that collection, must have another try.

It's uneven but... if you're in the right mood there isn't a bad track on it. Some take longer than others to like but worth the effort.

Giving this a listen with an open mind.



Roon is showing a track gain of -16.9dB so there is not much dynamic range available which rarely presdipsoses me an album.

On first listen it certainly isn’t execrable and has a certain charm.

A discogs purchase to fill a hole in my collection. Will need a few listens to figure out if I spent wisely or not.

Is that the Irish band? I'd forgotten about them. I have some bits on CD, they were really good. My memory will need some racking but I remember being very fond of them.

IIRC Stars of Heaven split into the Revenants and The Sewing Room. I have their debut ...and Nico (great album names) and put this one, along with a few Stars of Heaven CDs on my Discogs wish list.

Listening to Grant Lee Buffalo



bought with the Sewing Room as 2 CDs for €20 seems more acceptable than 1 for €18!

That's about right. I remember an EP or single "Drug Free".

The wonderful quirky Belle and Sebastian

Great band. I bought "Fold your arms child you walk like a peasant" for the title alone. Love 'em.

As a six year old I don’t think I was aware of this album as little Jimmy Osmond had nothing to do with it.

What might have happened if I was a Highway Star rather than a long haired lover......

Probably a bit overlooked when BBC4 do their documentaries about this era due to the phenomenal success they achieved with Dare. This certainly stands up very well today.

The star rating is Roon/Rovi, it would be **** from me.
