The Stone Roses
The Stone RosesInteresting percussion Jam band, alt adult. Safe LP, rocking chair jams Which way will the vocals go? Like: Cut 3 "Waterfall", Cut 4 & Cut 12 "Fools Gold"

Kate Bush vocals was a nice add. (Dolly Parton vocal would have been interesting. More commercial LP and a time piece as an explore in technology. Stewart Copeland of the Police involved on some tracks showed Peter G reach. Like the LP
Simple instrumentation. Solid vocals and writing. Liked track 2, pretty powerful and track 4. Pop that is somewhat timeless with the simple piano selections. Mr. Gum.
My first Rap LP listen, ever! The samples give BE a 70's vibe. I like this. Some off the song ends are super cold. Strong; The Corner & They Say
Raw. Tortured vocals with emotional honestly. Janis should of stayed with the "The Holding Co." Joplin was never better. I love that R. Crumb did the album cover for CHEAP THRILLs. This album had some interesting production choices with the fakey live audience. Favorite song "I Need A Man..."
It's a short LP. Songs were quick. It seemed dated A/F. Some of the guitar "solo's" very understated. Folk rock with layer vocals...influenced by the BYRDS? Safe and predictable. I was hoping for more. By the way, Ringo is a great drummer!
So much here, new lead singer Johnson who replaces Scott who dies in a Renault due to "death by misadventure". The LP is black in mourning and the album was recorded in the Bahamas at a sketch studio. Simple and aggressive. That's ROCK! Like: "Hells Bells" (big-ass bell production element), "Shake A Leg"
Odd and a hard listen. "Dance Or Die" and "Wondaland" were likeable. I was looking for the Metropolis and futuristic buzz...sort of there. This effort could have benefited from editing. A sauna with gummies listen? Snuff out!
Recorded in mono and the second loudest live band ever... My Bloody Valentine has an interesting story, complicated members etc. By the way Loveless was a band too. The LP is a sonic trip with the bending of sound, the buried vocals and really needs to be listen in it's entirety. Did not know this album existed. Liked: blown a wish, come in alone, and I could see "soon" released as a single. Xanthan, Mr. Gum
Voodoo Chile album version is way different than the single. Enjoyed how simple and raw feel of the LP. Loads of recording and sound experimentation. Weird to think that this album was release in cassette format. Really like this album
For me, the back story is what makes this recording magical. The power of ignorance on the promoters part, the dinged up master, the odd setting and late night early morning concert time. Go with what you have and make the best of it. With that in mind the enjoyment of hearing a master finding his way on a abused POS instrument. It was such a interesting audio journey. I found myself listening numerous times. Back story a must & mood is the other. F-Yah!
Todd Rundgren has a nice voice and the he enjoys creating different sounds. "Hello It's Me" is my favorite. The power of editing from 4-sides to 2-sides would have been more commercial but that's not Todd Rundgren. Enjoyed the false starts and adlibs.
Again so much here. It's so hard to separate his violent death, his beating by his father as he grew up. What a wonderful LP. Greasy A/F! Well produced, like the big bass and percussion. Liked "Ball" & "On". The LP flowed from song to song. As a little kid I recall Marvin's skull cap and took to sporting one too.
Tracey Thorns vocal are amazing...expressive and rich. Just effortless! Liked "Single", "Good Cop" & "Flipside". Interesting how they found there band name. I made French toast on a Sunday morning while listen to Walking Wounded. It paired well.
