Echo & the Bunnymen, Ocean Rain.

On the subject of Enigma, the just-released new album is actually really good and much better than the last two I think.

I'm having me some Ladytron these days.

Very synthy, but they'd be better with male vocals I reckon.

After a really good first album then a really terrible 2nd "rock" album, The Killers have gone all 80's pop Alphaville sounding on us with their new one

They can't decide what to sound like! Indie > rock > 80s pop?!

I quite liked their first album,

Decent pop song that.
Their last album was a bad move. Totemo crappu.

Giving the Manics "The Holy Bible" another go.
Good album.

Dignity by Deacon Blue

I am an instant fan of "Jesus is my friend"

And "Reefer is my friend"

Me too!!

Solseed rock.

We need it in the thread, just in case

ZZ Top!
Some of those songs still sound fresh.

Seals most recent album is pretty good.

Gorillaz Demon Days at the moment and some of those remixes.

Back on to KoL early stuff after their atrocious new album :'(

The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur

some sweet tracks!

Crowded House's most recent album is pretty good. I hear they are making a new one - one of those 'break up 20 times' bands.

Well pleased.

I have been wanting/looking for the limited edition 6 CD box set "Rare Cult" (by The Cult) for a while now. It's hard to get hold of a decent copy for under hundreds of $$, but by chance I looked on a Japanese auction site and someone was selling for 1man. And it just arrived. totally unopened spanking new. I am almost tempted to try and sell it, I'd be able to make a fair few $. But no, I'm going to listen to it.



Very pleased with that.
