What are you listening to? (V)Music

Ulver - Perdition City​

 

[TexRex]

Violator, the seventh studio release (1990) from English synth-pop act Depeche Mode.

By far my favorite album from Gahan and gang, but "Sweetest Perfection," "Personal Jesus" (a-duh), "Halo," "Waiting for the Night" (to Fall), "Enjoy the Silence" (a-duh), "Policy of Truth" (a-duh), "Interlude #3" (hidden track after "Blue Dress") and "Clean" stand out.

While I'm currently listening to the 2014 BMG vinyl [original master] re-release--which the video above does not represent--I have this album on more unique formats than any other single album in my collection; CD (four versions; original UK and US releases, 2006 CE with DVD (US) and UK 2006 CE SACD+DVD), 5.1 DVD-A (US), cassette (US), laser disc (US) and Mini-Disc (UK). It's a sickness, okay? I'm still wanting to get my grubby mitts on the Japanese limited edition release, but examples I've seen for sale are very spendy.

You would be correct in assuming I'm fond of the album.

It's also worth noting I've just discovered that "Waiting for the Night" is very conducive to the act of shaving.

Edit: Does the additional info do anything for anyone else? I do it because it's cathartic, and it's not likely I'll stop, but I'm curious.

I dig everything Ronnie, the earlier the better, and oh, that beehive!
She performed Be My Baby many times, and there are many covers of this classic.

Just like Ronnie sang...

Akoustic Band, 1989 release from jazz fusion icon Chick Corea.

Personal favorites include "So In Love," "Autumn Leaves" (jazz standard), "Morning Sprite," "Circles" and "Spain."

I cracked the sleeve for the first time in probably ten years or more, after having dinner tonight with an old friend who caught a reunion performance in St. Petersburg, FL a couple weeks ago.

Drum fans ought to appreciate Dave Weckl's work on the album.

Someone who knew one of the kids in this video asked me to share it via YouTube.

It's a Michael Jackson medley by Destiny Road.

Submarine Bells, the second album (1990) from New Zealand indie pop act The Chills. From Dunedin, The Chills are considered a major proponent of the Dunedin Sound, a sub-genre of new wave originating from the university city in the early '80s.

The album takes me right back to my own college experience, despite it being on the other side of the world, and personal favorites include "Heavenly Pop Hit," "Tied Up On a Chain," "Part Past Part Fiction," "Singing In My Sleep," "I Soar" and "Effloresce and Deliquesce."

Burning Bridges is so good; so much more than "Always Something There To Remind Me."

Hoofed and Dangerous, debut album (2002) from English singer/songwriter Andy Doran under the name Heifervescent. Indie jangle pop/electro rock at its finest.

Truly solid album, but "Bomb," "Sharkbite," "The Man From County Court" and "Rational Behavior" are absolute standouts for me. And of those, if only one were chosen to be sampled, "Sharkbite" (track 6) would have to be it, as it is absolutely phenomenal.

Not at all what I expected when looking at the album art, but I wasn't disappointed.
Still, judge a book not by its cover I suppose.

Been listening to a lotnof my regular stuff. Dubliners, Primus, Dave Van Ronk, etc. But, a friend just turned me on to some new hotness. Crying!

Love that 8 bit synth.

That picture i dont think is to off. It looks a lot like something that might be on a Pink Floyd, and they sound a lot like Pink Floyd.
