I only came to Iggy’s album much later after learning about their collaboration. Going to give The Idiot a go again this week as I’ve not listened to it in years, and IIRC, I never really took to it at the time so it’ll be interesting to listen again so soon after The Dame’s x 3
As an aside, due to limited funds as a student I only bought the three Berlin albums secondhand when they came in stock at Wax Factor (Brighton), so I never listened to them in correct order - Heroes, Lodger and then quite a gap before I got my paws on Low. Prob why I favour Heroes over the others as I did play that album a lot.
" The String Quartet No. 14 in D minor , D 810, known as Death and the Maiden , is a piece by Franz Schubert that has been called “one of the pillars of the chamber music repertoire. It was composed in 1824, after the composer suffered a serious illness and realized that he was dying.”
Michael Moorcock & The Deep Fix - Live at the Terminal Café- WAV CD rip
Country rock concept album from the science fiction and fantasy master, the Deep Fix is a different lineup from their 1975 space-rock incarnation. It’s an excellent album with lyrics based on a Moorcock trilogy, good growling vocals from Moorcock and pounding hard rock country rhythms.
‘Peaches: The Very Best of The Stranglers’ - The Stranglers
Raising a toast to Jet Black. I love their early-80s era most of all - superb singles ‘Strange Little Girl’, ‘Golden Brown’, ‘European Female’, ‘Skin Deep’, ‘Always the Sun’ - all inventive and wonderful.
