FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE - Brian Eno

New Brian Eno. It is exactly as ethereal, relaxing, and melancholy as you would expect from the man!

[skullguise]

^^ I heard he does vocals on that, true?

[TMoney]

It is indeed correct.

Bought this back in ‘77 when it was released, heard Cantus  in memory of Benjamin Britten on BBC radio 3 and had to buy it.Usual top quality ECM pressing and recording

It is correct, but if I were to draw a line between his most ambient works on one end and those first three albums on the other, with Nerve Net closer to the latter, then FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE is partway again between Nerve Net and the ambient works, maybe even much closer to the ambient works, but without the ...uh... stasis?  stagnancy? of things like Thursday Afternoon.

I think of his ambient works as the epitome of "music with all the evil taken out", and this is pastoral but with some evil still left tastefully in.

Good thoughts Dusty, and I tend to agree; started listening last night.....it's not Tiger Mountain or Warm Jets by any means 😄  I've enjoyed it so far though!

PORTALS

Example:

This Prog Metal album really got into me. All recorded live, and they are not shy to go over 10 minutes for a song. Power cords, transitions that work, great vocals, and almost 2 hours of some killer tracks (to me). Goes into the rotation.

Where does the time go, bought this 47 years ago.

Slipknot "Iowa"

Skylarking
XTC
1986

https://album.link/i/1440889477

Example:

So many songs I could post so I just gave the opener. It has been a while since I had listened to this 80s classic. But I see it as timeless. 

[TMoney]

Crybaby - Tegan and Sara

I'm late to the party on these two, but I like what I hear. Really pleasant listen.

[skullguise]

^^ Listened to some of this last night, agreed.  

For me, needed some lighter but somewhat sophisticated pop, and another 80's/90's group (person) is at it again.

Yeah, I was going to ignore that forever give that a listen, myself.

"Feel Flows" The Sunflower & Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971 (Super Deluxe)
The Beach Boys
2021

https://album.link/i/1570363167

Example:

Now, I have not listened to the entire 6.5 hours of material here (yet). But I am entirely captivated by this monster (133 track) collection. The vocal layering and delicate nature of a lot of the tracks is very appealing. I can easily see this as being my go to for BB in the future. Just put it on shuffle and listen for as long as I like. Of course, Pet Sounds, will always be played regardless.

This came out nearly 40 years ago. Good lord.

 

 

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Or my personal favourite:

...where the second half just devolves into this epic piano solo (Jools Holland!) followed by a tasty tasty ensemble instrumental section for the finish.

The boogie woogie piano is the only regrettable thing on that album.

Midnights (3am Edition)
Taylor Swift
2022

https://album.link/i/1650841512

Example:

Seeing what the kids are making these days (kids being long established artists in their 30s). Overall a good listen. Lots of talk-singing and some good singer songwriter moments throughout the album.

Kids got some talent.

Sound Affects (Deluxe Edition)
The Jam
1980

https://album.link/i/1445856291

Example:

Some Sunday morning Jams with The Jam. I liked this penultimate album, it has a nice mix of raw stuff along with more produced stuff, which I am sure they got flack for at the time. 

but not:

(I know the internet is over this one)

Bob Dylan Hard Rain

 

"...Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
