Randy has sent me a number of tunes over the past couple o years that have had me reeling: "like, God why have I never heard this before, its one of the greatest tunes in the world!!) He did it with some Mike Nesmith stuff, and Jimmy James and The Vagabonds, what with Randy's exemplary knowledge of all things 50's 60's 70's, and more up-to-date stuff like Bell Divers. Now he's done it with another 60's throwback, Philamore Lincoln and a song called The plains of delight, its soooooo beautiful and so up my street. Its Donovan, its the softness of Zep and Sabbath, and its got the 'classic' songwritiing edge. I love it/them. | ||

Oh, Phosphoresent - Long time gone. A beautiful track, very Neil. I am aware though, with many acts =in the Fleetyfoxes/midlake, Bon iver and Bonny Billy zone that the blanket hype can be very nausiating, and sometimes stuff can be nice and wicked but lacking a defining ego or personality, however this guy is good, in my humble book. | ||

You're quite welcome...it was actually a surprise to find the song turning up in my head a couple of days ago, as it'd been a long time since I'd heard it, and I can't even remember what made it turn up there. But it did inspire me to pull out 10cc's Greatest Hits and have an extremely pleasant 45 minutes. | ||

Spence - The Passage were very artsy, dark, menacing, experimental, but they could also be quite pretty and even catchy. The songs that struck a balance between the two sides tended to provide their most magical moments. The track from Pillows & Prayers (called XOYO) caught them in one of their catchier moments, and I quite like it. I've been into them for a long, long time and their music still holds up for me. I'll send ya a few things. | ||

Fecks sake, you guys with your 80s fixation are as bad as Teddy Boys with their rock'n'roll obsession  The 80s were on the whole shit IMO. Jeff, I bought Pindrop by The Passage when it first came out, it was ok but not great. For me Eyeless In Gaza were much better, but they sound dated now. Now The Associates- thats a timeless band even though their "masterpiece" Sulk was flawed, a missed opportunity on the same scale as Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes and Josef Ks debut. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 1327 Registered: 10-2004 |
Kevin - I can't help it that so much great music came out of the 80s. That is beyond my control. I simply gravitate towards what that nerve in my brain responds favorably to. The decade we're in now is on the whole complete and utter shit. For a voracious consumer of music like myself, it's hugely depressing. But that's just my humble opinion. I was 5 when Pindrop came out, but discovered it about 12 years ago when I found it in the dollar bin. I've loved it ever since. | ||

I'm with the '80's crew. Not everyone can subscribe to the, oh so grown up Uncut/Mojo obsession that is the Americana/Alt Country unmovement. It's for people with beards & beerguts. Even the shittier end of the '80's schtick is oddly compelling compared to the oh so knowing, cynical, ironic debacle that is modern music. | ||

Republic Of Loose - My Brain. I think they're from Cork. They're certainly Irish anyway. I always imagined them to be some kind of dance crap, but this is a truly brilliant soul song. Liam O'Maonlai of Hothouse Flowers is the singer on it. The girl backing vocals are worthy of classic Mototwn. Seriously! This is great. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1696 Registered: 03-2005 |
Oh. A fight about the decades. How fun! I suppose I'm not qualified to weigh in since my computer list says I only have 3--that's right, three!--releases from 2008 in my collection at the moment. But about 1/8 of my collection is vintage 2000 or newer; I'm just slow about getting stuff. My beef is with the groups that slavishly ape the sound of a specific artist from an earlier decade, or who mimic one different genre after another. I swear to Buddha you folks will find those records lacking once they've reached 20 years of age. Jerry's comment reminds me of what I sometimes find insufferable in some modern Hollywood films with their "ironic" references to older classic films. But there are still people making music who believe in what they're doing. I agree that most of the top 40 80s stuff was shit but with the exception of the mid-60s when has that not been true? The 80s seemed to spawn quite a few artists who broke new ground, much like the 60s did. Some of them are now painfully dated with the meaning of what they did all but faded away, but it seems to me that decade has more than its fair share of good artists and good records. While they got started in the late 70s, I consider the GoBees to be an 80s band. Should this be a new thread? | ||

| kevin Member Username: Kevin Post Number: 2165 Registered: 05-2005 |
One of my main beefs about the 80s is the sound of the records. That glossy sheen that ruined a potentially great band like Scritti Politti. Even records like Tallulah suffer due to the production, although it rises above it due to the quality of the songs. Its too early in the morning to think of examples, but many albums were ruined for me by the horrible drum sound that many producers favoured in that decade. I'm away to get my crash helmet before Spence arrives | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 2540 Registered: 05-2005 |
Keep it off Kev (the helmet), I couldnae gi a shite!!!! No really. I'm with those who say the 80's suffered from bad production techniques. Its a real, real shame. At the time though, it wasn't as apparent as it is now, or I didn't care, as I was discovering things that would shape my whole life, that's all I have to say on the matter. I've just turned 40 too so it stands to reason that my most influential period is going to be say, from '77 to - '90=, the growing up formative years would have to be the 80's. 70's and 80's were my rose tinted spectacle period, that I hope most young kids will be able to enjoy, though I think it will come in less creative and instinctive forms nowadays, I feel really lucky that I heard Sparks, Stevie Wonder, Bryan ferry and The Buzzcocks at the age of 9 in the '70's, that I loved Orange Juice (early 80's) from the age of 12, that I was introduced to The Smiths and Parliament, Pale Fountains and The Fall, Scott Walker and Sudden Sway (some made in the 80's, some not) at 15, Wolfhounds and McCarthy and Momus at 18, and thank fuc*k for great labels, for keeping this particular obsessive, very passionate and happy, Les Disques du Crepuscule, Rough trade, postcard, Fast, Cgherry red and Trojan, i applaud thee. And good night! | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 1697 Registered: 03-2005 |
Yes . . . the gated recording of the drums. Many apologies if you already know what it is, Kevin, but the gating is an electronic function that opens and then closes the signal to the recorder. So, for the snare, the gate will open the sound signal as soon as the hit of the snare is sensed. It will then close off the sound at a point selected by the engineer, either a particular time value after the gate "opened" or at a particular decibel threshold as the original snare sound fades or "decays." What gating does is it inevitably cuts a little from the initial attack of the drum and also truncates the decay of the reverb or even the original natural sound if the settings are too aggressive. It's a close relative of the compressor which has been a standard sound engineer's tool for decades. My guess is that it was originally conceived as a noise reduction device to eliminate unwanted sounds when there's supposed to be nothing happening (between beats of the drum). I suppose I could google and verify that. At the time I had no idea what it was but I liked the way it gave the drums their own sonic space. I thought this effect brought back the 60s reverbed sound that some of the more famous monophonic productions of that era featured. Trouble is, it didn't. It's a dreadful sound that sets my teeth on edge when I hear it now. It will be particularly unlistenable on your glass-breaking headphones. The only defense is to listen on regular loudspeakers. But I don't hold this against the music itself. | ||
| kevin Member Username: Kevin Post Number: 2166 Registered: 05-2005 |
Jeff, as a matter of interest can you give me 20 great albums from the 80s that were made in the UK, thats only 2 per year on average. The rest of the world dont count because thats where most of the great albums were made - mostly in America obviously. Just to show that I dont think the 80s totally sucked I think Singles in that decade were of a high standard, so much so that my fave New Order, Cure, Bunnymen,Smiths, OJ albums are comps. Unfortunately bands of that stature never made a truly great studio album imo. Randy - I didnt know about gating, but even the sound of the word is horrible. Phil Collins made a career out of that sound I guess, or was it only used for snare? | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 847 Registered: 08-2004 |
In Go-B's lore, the '80's era. They were at their best on BH & LB. The 2 records they made with a certain timelessness, soundwise. Whereas SHF Tallullah & 16LL do sound more 'awkwardly' of their time. Although songs like Slow Slow Music & You Can't Say No Forever were clearly tweaked in the studio taking some of the bite from, maybe, a live/demo version of those songs. It's those tweaks/idiosyncracies, along with the melody & tune, that have an enduring appeal with this listener. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 1328 Registered: 10-2004 |
Kevin, I could give you 100 great UK albums from the 80s, but who gives a shit? The key concept here about music, which I'm not sure you understand, is that this is all SUBJECTIVE. Because I think certain albums are great, doesn't mean that you do. And vice versa. See, if I list 20 UK albums that I think are great, you'll just do your smug Kevin thing and take a big dump on half of them: "Oh, I bought that when it came out, but it hasn't worn well over time, so therefore it's complete shit." Thing is, you're entitled to that opinion, just as much as I'm entitled to thinking whatever 20 albums I list are brilliant. Going on the tone of some of your posts, it's almost like you only think something is great once it's been placed into the canon of musical greatness by Mojo or Uncut. Well, my brain doesn't work that way. I don't give two shits about what ANYONE thinks is great. A "great" album is in the ear of the beholder. My ears happen to hear A LOT of great stuff from the 80s, and there's not much I can do about that. Oh, and the Phil Collins drum thing is different. That specific sound was actually pioneered by Steve Lillywhite and Hugh Padgham, who hit upon the sound when recording "Intruder" on Peter Gabriel's third album. It's a technique involving compression, where you crank up the gain, but then set compressor or limiter so that it squashes or clamps down on the *tail* of the sound, so you get this big whomp of a sound that seems to cut off sharply. So, imagine a loud snare thwack, that booms and resonates, but is quickly and sharply cut off at the end before it trails off, rather than allowed to let ring. Also key to this sound is using room mics (ie - mics placed in the room, far away from the drum kit, to capture the bigness, the ambiance of the room). Anyway, everyone fell in love with this sound, and you soon started hearing it everywhere: on XTC records, to Phil Collins' first solo album. It practically defined that BIG drum sound of the early 80s. The gated thing that Randy is talking about is a little similar in terms of the way that the gate or compressor is used, but achieves a much more processed, less dynamic sound, and is ultimately a different kettle of fish. Sadly, it was a sound that really took over from the mid-80s and into the early 90s, and it made drums sound more like drum machines. | ||
| Jeff Whiteaker Member Username: Jeff_whiteaker Post Number: 1329 Registered: 10-2004 |
And another thought on bad productions ruining potentially good music: sure, we all agree gated reverb on drums and overly processed midi-sounds (like those dreaded midi-triggers) made for some pretty boring sound records, but in the 80s, that mostly affected top 40. I can think of many, many albums from the 80s, however, that made no attempt to employ these ugly, slick production techniques, and instead sound quite organic, rich, and full. And of course, there are some albums like the aforementioned Tallulah, which kind of straddle the line. And I can relate to being turned off of entire eras or genres of music due to production techniques. I hear a lot of productions and sounds today that make me cringe! Think about how many albums have that dreadfully distorted, LOUD sound like Oceans Apart. That's as bad or worse than any 80s gated snare, imho. Of course, like Tallulah, Oceans Apart overcomes that obstacle with amazing song writing, but still, it's sound is one of several recording trends this decade which I find ugly and deplorable. | ||

| Ewan Talisker McEwan Member Username: Ewan_mcewan Post Number: 295 Registered: 02-2008 |
He definitely protests too much and is secretly excited, but I don't think we need to call out the PC police. I always pictured that song as taking place in ABBA's ersatz, imagined world of American teenyboppers hanging out in malt shops and all-age dancing clubs with disco balls where the 16 year old dancing queens strut their stuff. So, I envisioned the mack daddy protagonist as 20 or so, and the object of his trepidacious affection as 16 or 17. That said, I think songs like "Knowing Me, Knowing You", another great one about one of the couples' divorce, were actually very autobiographical. | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 1136 Registered: 09-2006 |
Yeah, I'd agree with that assessment...I was being mostly facetious, sorta comparing him to a dad who starts getting sweaty and tongue-tied when his daughter brings her Britney-clone friends around.
