I must be a sucker for Robert Fripp- love all his King Crimson stuff and his solo work ( havent heard the League of Gentlemen yet so that is next!). But teaming up with Andy Summers has to be one of the his best collaborations in my book- maybe second place to his production of Gang of Four's Home of the Brave. Anyone heard their (Summers and Fripp) second album? Is it worth a listen? PS-oopsy I meant I Advance Masked
Forgot how great this album is. Always a pleasure to listen to. And listening to it the this time, I'm realizing just how well this was mixed. All the instruments are so crisp and the vocals are perfectly placed in the mix. A real treat. Fave song: When I write the book
The Ballad of Darren /Blur: I of course have heard of Blur and I am mostly familiar with their earlier work (and of course the ubiquitous Song 2) but I have not owned any of their albums until I bought this one. It was on sale for $10 and it was brand new. Just wondering who else has discovered this album. Really love it.
Finally got around to playing this album that I picked up last year. Right out the gate it is a banger. The tune is called Buster Brown and the bass keyboards and drums are kicking...and then the sax comes in to finish things off. Chefs kiss.
Stanley Turrentine Common Touch featuring Shirley Scott (She is one of my all time favorite keyboardist-plus she's from Philly so I'm a bit of a homer.)
Cant get enough of this album. Listening to Spanish Dancer which may just be my favorite song on this album. Amazing mix, Stevie's voice, smooth vibes. Having all the feels listening to this. An oasis for the ears.
I don't think I really appreciated Asia at the time, although I did like the song Heat of the Moment. But it felt weird to hear some of my prog rock idols ( Steve Howe of Yes l, Carson Palmer of ELP,.and John Wetton of U.K. and King Crimson) doing, basically, pop music. Well, time heals all wounds, so to speak. I have started to build up my collection of new wave and post punk from the 80s and Im glad I gave this album a chance. Always loved Wetton's singing and his bass playing and the rest of the band are, of course, master instrumentalist--including keyboardist Geoffrey Downes. Maybe this easnt as popular as their debut but I found it to be a nice, relaxing listen.
Never heard this artist before but this band is tight and the album sounds great. Picked up for peanuts and it is worth it at ten times the price!
Used book store finds. $7 total for both. Love the French Kiss album label.
Received my order from [Spatula City Records](https://spatulacityrecords.com/) yesterday--I can't recommend them enough. Came packed up nicely and they reinserted all the used albums into static free sleeves inserted into a plastic, outer sleeve along with the album cover/gatefold. I usually don't order this many albums at once but it worked out to about $8 per record. Excited to listen to all!
got this from a used book store. besides being a steal at $3, it has one of the coolest gatefolds i've ever seen. An actual tri-fold for a single lp. Missed out on getting the "marbled" vinyl pressing ( released before this, made to look like clouds) but it is an original pressing.
