M.I.A. 'Born Free'

Absolute rager of a track and a pretty relevant video twenty years later. Suicide sample is used so well.

The Wall - Pink Floyd

The Wall - Pink Floyd

Took me about ten trips to HMV to get a decent playable pressing of this when it was first released.
Still have it - still comfortably numb.

It’s a strange album - clearly much more Waters influence - it’s not on my playlist a lot - while I love the CN track I find the earlier Floyd albums much easier to listen to - very happy that Nick Mason is playing the earlier tracks live - getting the the Pompei album for Xmas

My favourite Floyd album is The Final Cut, to me it`s a much more accomplished album than The Wall.

Some of the lyrics are just poetic and it`s one of those albums that when you listen to on head phones, you hear all kinds of whispers and background stuff going on, that your ears can`t normally can`t pick up.

It`s a pretty brutal listen though, as it`s just so dark and apocalyptic and you really have to be in the mood to listen to it.

The last track, Two Suns in the Sunset, still gets me every time I listen to it.

I thought I was the only one who's favourite Pink Floyd album is The Final Cut. Definitely a Roger Waters album & the album that split them up, I love The Gunner's Dream. I will be listening to that on the train down on Saturday

Was HMV in the precinct by the cinema & Dog and Trumpet? I bought my copy in there and managed to get it home unscathed in my rucksack riding my motorbike back to Rugby after a day at Coventry Technical College.

It`s up there with Wish You Were Here as their finest work ( imo )

I actually think Not Now John, which was released as a single, is the weakest track on the whole album.

I took my Wish you were here back - if you remember was in a black plastic film - had to remove that obviously but on first play I thought the sound was off where the radio is crackly in the background - I made them open a new one in Our price records Kingston and play it on their syst before I believed them doh

 

[Sick Boy]

Love a bit of stoner rock.

Yes it was.
Me and a couple of mates from Climax Widd Rd used th skive off up there regularly to browse records and then have a brew and a batch in the D& T.

Tough listen, although I often do.
WYWH stands out head and shoulders above though IMHO.

My personal favourite track on The Wall, is "Mother". There's a great video on YouTube with Roger Waters in a studio playing the song. At the very end, he says, "Dave, miss you darlin'." Obviously a reference to David Gilmore.
