I agree with you about this, and I don’t really have anything to add to what you’ve said. You’ve kinda described my feelings toward SW and his career.

Still for some reason I actually find myself...

I like you too, for what it’s worth. I didn’t think I was taking it personally, but maybe I am.

Differences of opinion about music (and other things) don’t really bother me; I have them all the...

It’s hilarious how much of this thread has been just about picking apart things Wilson has said in interviews, trying to “catch” him in an “contradiction”, or picking apart things he’s said in years...

What? I thought Trent Reznor was a shredder... :huh :roll

:lol Too true.

Yea, some great music there definitely. :up

Sunset Rollercoaster - I’m a Fish

My how selective some folks’ reading comprehension is.

Unfortunately I can't comment on that, as I've been stuck on the extended edition for the last couple weeks, but I'm going to give the abridged version a spin today.

Regarding TA and the...

My mistake. I thought you were saying he contradicted himself.

:lol Nearfest2 has already made up his mind about how to spin what SW said, so I'm not going to waste my time talking about it. ;)

I think it's obvious what Wilson was saying in those two...

:roll

Maybe read the whole Guitar World interview? It's made pretty clear that he's talking about modern pop/rock music and how the guitar is used less and less in it.





No sour grapes here that I...

I'm failing to see the irony. Maybe you can explain it to me. :roll

:lol

Whirlwind is more like a Whopper from Burger King, and Absolute Universe is the spicy chicken sandwich from Popeye's.

But seriously, it ain't just a change of the "wrapper" as you seem to...

That wasn't what he said. Go read the whole thing, man.

You have missed a couple things, but suit yourself.

Yeah, that is a disturbing one. :lol I haven't listened to it in a long time myself actually...

McStine & Minnemann - II

Yeah, this one works for me in ways that none of their other albums ever quite have. I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but overall I find it a lot more enjoyable. Bear in mind this is after only...

Stolt is a really good singer. Pete, not so much, but I still like his contributions to TA.

:lol That was good. :up

Level 42 - Staring at the Sun

Living With The Big Lie




Yes, one of my faves actually. :up

Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe (Forevermore)
Various Artists - Pacific Breeze Vol. 2 (Japanese City Pop)

Sheesh... That's awful. I'm sorry to hear that. :(

Lovely little kitty. :) I'm glad he's able to get around well and enjoy life. It sounds like he enjoys spending time with you too. Stories like these I find heartwarming. Cats are very dear to me (my...

Ah okay, I understand what you meant now. I guess I just didn't mind more of the same. ;)

I hope he hasn't completely abandoned the bombast and musical theatre aspects in his music, but I love his...

Well, I can understand that. Maybe there is a "twee-ness" to some of it, but he's such a good composer that it has never bothered me. Try out Birds of Passage -- I think that's probably my favorite...

^ Okay, in that case maybe I'd go with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. I still have a soft spot for that one. :D

Totally agreed on all of this. "I Don't Care Anymore" is such a cool atmospheric song; I listened to it a lot during a breakup many years ago.

I'm glad to see someone mention "Hang In Long Enough"...

It's worth noting that Transatlantic is not just Morse -- it's also three other guys, and the Inside Out music label, who may want the music to be on the mainline streaming services.

I think both versions — Forevermore, and Breath of Life — are on Spotify (and Apple Music) actually.

For sure. My fav is probably Hello, I Must Be Going, but IMO his first three solo albums are still his best — and all excellent records too.

That has been one of my favorite songs ever since I discovered Face Value as a fifteen year old. It’s a wonderful track.

Really? Which version are you listening to? I thought it sounded pretty good.

Yeah this is a great record. One of his best. :up

The Bride Said No is possibly my favorite by Nad so far, because it was so different from Unifaun (which was over 12 years ago, so no overlap) and Courting The Widow. His third album was also...

Perhaps conversely, this album feels like they’re having the most fun than on any other TA project in the past. In my opinion at least, I think it sounds the most fun.

Hmm... no, I don’t think so.

I second this.

Maybe I should give Similitude another shot. I tried it a couple years ago and wasn't able to get into it, but I could always try again.

Ouch... Harsh, but fair I suppose. :lol

Apologies for the thread necromancy... I wanted to discuss this album again, and thought bringing the old thread back would be less cluttery than starting a whole 'nother one.

This CD is just so,...

C'mon, man... Have you listened to both versions to compare them? They are fairly different listening experiences. :)

:up That's one of the cool things about these albums (Miracles and Islands) IMO, that we can each prefer a different one while still enjoying both. They both sound like TFK of course, but the...

Of course. This means there's more potential for exposure though. Henry Cow were never a group with mass appeal, but there are still people out there who would like them but haven't heard their stuff...

Hey -- every little bit helps!

:lol Yeah, not likely. But it means a larger portion of the populace now has a chance to hear HCow, and that's pretty cool.

The new one by Antony Kalugin that just came out yesterday. It's very good, in much the same vein as his Marshmallow Moondust release.

This is one of my favorite concert DVDs actually, in spite of the Somewhere Else studio album being a little bit of a letdown after Marbles. I watched it one evening in 2008 when I was sick with a...

Transatlantic - SMPTe

Wow, I did not expect that. Hopefully Henry Cow will reach an even wider audience.

I dunno... I don't hear much similarity between Steven Wilson and Tame Impala, although that doesn't mean there aren't any similarities of course -- I might just not be hearing them myself. Tame...

How terrible. :(

Oh I'm not denying that. I don't agree with the things she said; her comments and posts were already bad/misguided/unhinged enough as it is. Some of the "reporting" on it is just inaccurately calling...

What she said wasn't actually anti-Semitic though.

I saw it in the theater when it came out, and I don't think I've ever been in a movie theater that was that quiet. It was a unique experience.
