Cigarettes After Sex - Apocalypse
"Explicit" so maybe not to everyone's taste. *cough* *cough*
Cigarettes are bad for you so no thank you.
But... that isn't a bad tune at all. Good share.

Cigarettes are so bad for you, agreed.
Actually, I never could stand them, and couldn't abide having to endure second hand smoke.
Fabulous sleeve art. Does the music match it for quality?
I liked it!har har har.
But it is a rather nice song isn't it?
Thanks for sharing; this is a piece I have not come across before, and I quite like Renaissance and Baroque music.
One of my favourite albums: Arthur Lee and Love - "Love Forever Changes". Seriously brilliant.
Yes it does. That was a single, so there were no other tracks. The artist does these albums with a synthesizer with an 80's feel to them. I quite like them a lot. Reminds me of the music from the original Blade Runner movie.
Here is that song on YouTube if you want to hear it.
Thanks for sharing (and posting the link).
I loved it - but then, I love synthesiser music, and love Bladerunner.
i remember subscribing to KEYBOARD magazine during the 1980s, i might some Japanese version of that publication.
that pub helped me although i used a polymoog and minimoog, i never bought a Korg, i was going to get a williams sync 2 years ago but have broken bones i a finger.
my tunes features everything by Keith Emerson and other musicians from the 1980, as you know already.
boy, had fun then!
Terrific, I also listened to several other tracks on YT. I feel like I noted them in the past from a soundtrack, maybe from TV[?], interestingly, the lead singer is a guy, Greg Gonzalez. Kind of reminds me of Brian Aubert from Silversun Pickups, which by the way, I'd also recommend, I'll link up a couple of tracks.

Will have to get this set pronto.
The performances of the Deutsches Requiem and the Bruckner 8 I have heard on other issues.
But the third disk is intriguing. Berger and Einem — even nowadays, hardly "household names".
A welcome reminder how Karajan did "do" modern composers — and do them damn well! See the Berg/Webern/Schoenberg set for example.
A pity he felt the need in the 80s to re-re-re-record so many of his much finer earlier records… I guess Deutsche Grammophon just couldn't say "Nein! Keine mehr Beethoven. Genug!, mehr als genug!"
And of course the finest Honegger is Karajan's own recording of the 70s (60s?). So to hear his Salzburg live version would be rather a bonus.
Thanks for sharing!

Fingers crossed the new songs live up to expectations.
After all the decades of saying that they will never do anything else after they split up.
Agree on their voices. (I am such an unashamed ABBA fan.)
Edited:
Yikes! Holy Smilies overuse. Apologies.
[doublepost=1534166512][/doublepost]Haven't posted much recently in this thread, so… a few things that caught my ear recently:
1.
Bach: Goldberg Variations (Arranged for for String Quartet)
Ardeo Quartet.
Just a really lovely take on a much heard and played favourite.
2.
Subramaniam: Journey
Lakshminarayana Subramaniam; Øystein Baadsvik
East meets West. Indian violin and Tuba? Who woulda thunk it? Works though.

I shall follow up on your recommendation. Thanks!
is ABBA good, as far as albums?
"fernando" was a nice song until they overplayed that in 1976 which seemed impossible with 160 new songs being released every week that year.
INXS made good songs but not good albums, while Triumph made great albums.

Check out their collection albums, where not only the hits, but the rarest songs are included too. There’s quite a few of them. I looked at Apple Music and there was an album called The Collection with 163 songs
Says something of their production. But there are smaller 1’s that will contain a lot of the real gems too. I mean Waterloo etc. might have been fun back in the 70’s but is not one of the gems today.
I had some if their ordinary albums back on vinyls, but got rid of them and bought some cd’s. Think 2 or 3 different collections at different times.
Breaking in the new Sennheiser HD-6XXs, which even in the first few hours are proving to be spectacular
My listening queue since receiving them:
Portishead - Dummy
Yo La Tengo - Painful
Massive Attack - Blue Line
... currently on my YLT double feature with I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

thanks of the advice, maybe "voules vous" or umm, that other album. then they might be too popish for me.
Yes! Saw you post the cover for Mezzanine the other day, also fantastic, I rank it slightly above Blue Line (on most days
)
