Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles (w/the L.A. Express)1974



I'm not a huge Joni Mitchell fan but no one can doubt her influence on folk style music and mmany of the female artists that I like site her as an influence. One of the reasons I like this disc is because of the recording. Very open and intimate for a live recording. Another outstanding SDA disc. She does a few of her major hits and I especially like the live Big Yellow Taxi, Circle Game and Blue.

Bottome line even if you aren't a big Joni Mitchell fan the recording is very much worth it. Simply outstanding because it draws you right in. Also, FYI 70% of the disc is Joni with her guitar and the other 30% includes the L.A. Express who sound fantastic.

Front 242 - ReBoot Live

The experimental nature and live performance skills of Front 242 are captured in this release of a concert given in Belgium. The band, which emerged at the forefront of Chicago's dance scene in the late 1980s, has always made a point of delivering a dynamic show utilizing only live sequencing, eschewing the use of playback tapes. The set list includes such favorites as "Body to Body," "Im Rhythmus Bleiben," "First in First Out," Moldavia," and "HeadHunter," played to an appreciative audience.

Reliving some of my younger days. This is really where "techo" music has it's roots. Some good stuff, if not a bit repetative. I remember going to Wax Trax records on Lincoln in Chicago about twice a month to get the latest new underground releases.

Art of Noise- Who's Afraid.....

I continue to regress. Which is fun to finally pull out stuf I haven't listened to in years. Met a female recently and it seems our common interest (among others) is "new wave" underground music from the 80's. Hence the romp thru my past.

Art Of Noise: Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, Gary Langan. The Art of Noise's first full-length release, from 1984, is also their best and most intriguing. Containing the dance club smash "Beat Box (Diversion One)," the MTV favorite "Close (To the Edit)" and the influential, near-ambient "Moments In Love," WHO'S AFRAID is a revolutionary album that changed the course of modern electronic music. Its effects were felt equally in postmodern avant-garde circles and the hippest of dance clubs. Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan's work has both melodic and rhythmic sophistication and, perhaps more importantly, a playful sense of humor. "Snapshot" cheekily quotes The Who's "Baba O'Riley," and the key rhythmic element of "Close (To The Edit)" is the sound of a car ignition. WHO'S AFRAID also has darker moments, like "A Time For Fear," which prominently features tapes of the 1983 US invasion of Grenada, and the foreboding, ambient pieces that end the second side.

Do you have the black box 3 disc set? link I bought it when it first came out just to get Trent Reznor on vocals with 1000 Homo DJ's version of Supernaut. Discovered a lot of other good stuff on there too :)

No sadly I never bought the original, but my brother who is way more into the "new wave" movement of the 80's on a regualr basis does have it and I made a copy. Listened to a lot of Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb etc......the list goes on and I seriously haven't listened to this stuff in 8-10 years.

Always from day 1 have been a Trent Reznor fan and I think he was influenced heavily by many of the "harder" sythesized industrial music of that era (80's) Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Revolting Cocks, and on on and on......:)

I just bought Black Sabbath WSOSFRR.
I was worried that the CD would suck, but it has pretty good dynamics for that type of music.
