I bought the vinyl just yesterday.
Needless to say Saturday night had a great soundtrack.

Agreed. It's such a brilliant piece of work from start to finish, not to mention an absolutely perfect blend of both their rock/guitar oriented sound and their electronic stuff. And even then, the electronics are sort of kept in the background, letting the organic instrumentation and Thom's wonderful vocals dictate the sound of the record. It's an album built on songcraft.

These basement sessions are what made me fall in love with these two albums.
For some reason I was never able to find an audio copy of the basement sessions. (Sad emoticon goes here)

Here's an oldie for ya. Found this under a pile and blew the dust off it. Don't think I have listened to it in about 15 years or so, "Jack Green - Humaesque". I was never a huge fan of 80's music, but now and again there was a good artist that came along. I never understood why Jack Green didn't make it bigger, had a great sound to him. This had a lot of great tunes on it.

Genesis - Wind and the Wuthering
One of the first albums (yes album) I ever bought. I was about 7 when it came out and was trying to keep up with the "coolness" of my much older brother. Definitely holds a special place for me.

"Blood on the Rooftops" I think is my favourite cut, but till this day, I still think "Afterglow" is the best closing song on an album EVER.

Been heavy into this Queen album recently.
Queen - News of the World
![[Image: Queen-News-Of-The-World-425543.jpg]](http://eil.com/images/main/Queen-News-Of-The-World-425543.jpg)
It opens with the instantly recognizable one-two punch of We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions, but its what follows that makes this record special.
Sheer Heart Attack is classic quick and heavy Queen (it has heavy shades of Stone Cold Crazy.
Spread Your Wings is as powerful of a Queen ballad that you may find on any Queen album.
Get Down, Make Love slowly builds upon itself, until one of Freddy's crescendo moments, where it sounds like his vocal chords may tear any second.
It's Late has one of the catchiest riffs I have ever heard, as is quickly climbing as one of my all-time favourite Queen songs.
And last, but definitely not least, is Roger Taylor's Fight From The Inside. Probably the best bass line I've ever heard in a Queen tune.

I found this in my ancient CD case. How I have missed this disc. And you all.
I'm gonna duck back in to obscurity now.

Welcome back! Always love it when an Hipbase oldtimer swings by that hasn't been around for a while.
Hope all is well Jenna!

Not so much re-discovered, but now appreciate. When I was a kid I hated the Eagles, growing up in the 1970s heard them way too much. Then as I got older, Don Henley's solo stuff drove me crazy. Add to that, never-ending reunion tours and reading that their last album (the live album) credits a multitude of lawyers.
Then I was in Mexico around Cabo, and there's a town nearby with a "Hotel California". Now the really funny thing is there's no association between the band and the hotel, to the point there's a letter online from Don Henley's lawyer stating there's no connection between the and and the hotel. But you still get all these tourist goofs wandering around in Eagles shirts, and Eagles music is unavoidable.
Then sitting on a patio, warm night watching the sun go down over the ocean...suddenly it clicked. I forgot all about my notions on band members, hearing some of the songs thousands of times, and really listened to the instruments, vocals, and production. Right place, right time the music made sense to me.
