The Moody Blues -- In Search of the Lost Chord When I was a 12 year old I thought this was the greatest group on Earth. I bought this at the time as a new album. I faithfully purchased each successive album until they broke up in the mid-70s. I thought it was great that they explained that their music was all starting to sound the same, because even I thought so by the time of "Seventh Sojourn." The Moodies fell into disfavor with me not too long afterwards as I was getting more into 60s rock and the trashier corridors of '70s rock. I never did go for any of the officially Prog bands like Yes, Genesis or Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Listening to "In Search of the Lost Chord" all these years later it's interesting how many songs I simply didn't remember. There seem to be about four good songs and a few pleasant numbers and a handful of deeply silly ones. "Legend of a Mind" and "The Actor" are honestly great. "House of Four Doors" and "Om" are honestly absurd. There won't be a big Moody Blues revival at my house. My rediscovery of the three late-60s Savoy Brown records is not replicated here. Fun for the novelty value though. | ||

| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 907 Registered: 10-2006 |
I always think it's better to go in these cases, Randy, in the sense that going may result in something enlightening and fresh whereas not going simply leaves things are they are...even if in the end it simply reinforces your opinion of Glass. You never know though, live performance can make a difference. | ||

Actually, side one of that mix tape a friend sent to me back in 87 is so effing brilliant I think it's worth quoting in full: The Chills – Pink Frost, Rolling moon Doledrums The Triffids – Wide open road – Tender is the night The Housemartins – Flag day Giant Sand – Artists Jasmine Minks – Cold heart Primal Scream – It happens The Loft – Your door shines like gold Weather Prophets – Almost prayed Prefab Sprout – Lions in my own garden The Beloved – One hundred words He must've been smoking something good that day, because the sequencing works brilliantly. Only missing When morning comes to town to be absolutely perfect, maybe. | ||

I love "When Morning Comes to Town"! Stuart you have such a healthy attitude about experiences I feel ashamed. But I just couldn't see myself making it through four hours of the sort of thing I was hearing in the excerpts. One hour I could have handled, but not four. It's actually a big deal that "Einstein on the Beach" is being staged here but I felt sure another person would appreciate the experience much more than me so I opted out. | ||

Cosmo, I came across one for sale on eBay a couple of days ago. I last checked with four hours to go at which time the highest bid was approximately Ł26.00 ( not including the shipping charge from the U.S.A.) I suspect it probably went for more as there were several bidders. There is another one up on eBay at the moment. A U.K. Seller this time. The current bid is Ł5.06. A little over eight days left if anyone is interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mark-Kozelek-D esertshore-Mark-Kozelek-Desertshore-CD-N EW-SEALED-/271293988567?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CD s_CDs_GL&hash=item3f2a61bed7 I e-mailed Caldo Verde a few days ago regarding the album and they replied stating that there are no current plans to manufacture any more copies.

| cosmo vitelli Member Username: Cosmo Post Number: 849 Registered: 05-2005 |
I paid over $60 Hugh! was just determined not to lose the bloody auction, there were no other copies on e-bay at the time, it's such a great album and although I had downloaded it (officially) it just isn't the same as having a hard copy. I also noticed that the CD sounds much better than the CD I burned from i-tunes. I am not enough of a tech head to understand why but it's a lot fresher sounding with clearer definition of instruments etc? | ||
| Hugh Nimmo Member Username: Hugh_nimmo Post Number: 658 Registered: 03-2007 |
Cosmo, I think anyone who wants one now is probably going to have pay throught the nose for it. Copies have started apearing on eBay and Discogs. This one has appeared on Discogs within the last 24 hours. US$52.15 plus shipping from an American Seller http://www.discogs.com/buy/CD/Mark-Kozel ek-Desertshore-Mark-Kozelek-Desertshore/ 122347419?ev=bp_rel_det I have no idea what Kozelek and Caldo Verde are playing at. The guy has a decent fan base ( Red House Painters; Sun Kil Moon; Mark Kozelek ) so why release in such a limited quantity? I think the bit rate of an actual cd is about 1141Kbps. I read somewhere that even if you select Apple Lossless in iTunes, the bit rate is only about 900Kbps. This may explain why the disc sounds fresher with clearer definition. I believe the default iTunes bit rate setting is pretty low ( MP3 quality.) Are you familiar with the Pinetop Seven? Currently listening to :- OP8 - Slush | ||

Randy, Next up in the Cloudberry Records Cake Kitchen Series will be 'Songs To Hover By Vol. 2.' by The Rileys. Should be out by the end of the year. It collects together most, if not all, of the tracks recorded by the band between 1990 and 1993 ( a mini album, an ep and a few singles.) Twenty one tracks in total. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu7_FMOVo D4 There is also a MP3 sample posted on the Cloudberry website. http://www.cloudberryrecords.com/ | ||

Thanks for the info, Hugh. I'm sure to forget it by the end of the year though! Speaking of Cloudberry Records, my iPod has been inclined to pitch up the excellent Strange Idols song "He's Out Looking for Love" on a couple of occasions. Too obscure for youtube. In the meantime, I've ordered another CARE package from Firestation Records. | ||

Randy, It is a fabulous little label. I am patiently waiting for their next batch of releases.

I've already got it on order Padraig. I'm hoping he leans back on his folkie roots, which made him write songs like "I Give In." The last Panics album was mediocre. Sorry to hear about the Feverfew release Hugh. On the strength of your earlier post I was going to poke around this evening and see what I could find by them. | ||

Will do Hugh. I think it's six CDs containing the Fisherman's Blues sessions, one CD of songs they were listening to at the time (country, gospel etc) and a vinyl copy of the original album (which I'm excited by as the one vinyl record I really regret selling was Fisherman's Blues). | ||

| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3305 Registered: 03-2005 |
A package from Deutschland arrived on my doorstep today. No, silly, NOT some dubs of Angela Merkel phone conversations, but a stack of six reissues of obscure U.K. music from the wonderful music obsessives at Firestation Records. Playing For Time were mostly just too mainstream stylish pop for me. They are a seven-strong group from Hampshire with a couple of brass players and a female among their several singers that made me think of a 1980s update on groups like Amen Corner and the earlier incarnation of The Alan Bown Set even though neither of those groups had a woman in their ranks. I found five tracks I like very much and skipped the rest. But then . . . The Cherry Orchard -- These Restless Days (Recordings 1988 - 1990) An online search finds a group of this name from the late 1990s which is indeed a later iteration of the same band, still headed by singer/songwriter Jason Smith but with the addition of Sara Onyett as collaborator. This earlier group actually released a 7 inch, a 12 inch EP and an LP in the late 1980s. Here's something from the EP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0SAEPNem rU They had fairly straightforward musical objectives and might have been picked up by a major label but they weren't. You'll hear all sorts of elements in their music which suggest a much more mainstream act but the simple low budget production makes it work. So Firestation Records have pulled together those earlier released tracks as well as 8 additional unreleased tracks from the same period. Very much worthwhile. And I still have four other CDs from Firestation to unwrap. | ||

Hey, I agree with Padraig and Peter about a couple of upthread comments. Both Mikal Cronin - MCII And Minor Alps - Get There Are very good. The Minor Alps song "I Don't Know What To Do With My Hands" is a total earworm. Proceed at your own risk! | ||

Orbweaver - Loom another jewel of a suggestion from Mr Nimmo... a cool & lovely First Aid Kittish female voice balanced carefully over vaguely minimalist Morricone-like backdrops of guitar and trumpet...very very nice. | ||

A mix I made for a guy I work with whom, I've just discovered, is a serious music geek. It was nice to make a mix CD for someone for the first time in ages. | ||

Peter Gabriel - Us I've ignored almost all of PG's solo work, for some reason... well, you can't fit in everything. But Digging the dirt was on Italian X-factor and that convinced me to get Us: which is a beautiful, rich, layered work that deserves all the weighty praise the (strangely cool) Italian judges lathered it with. | ||
