Meh. The instruments are the most important part of music anyway. And the instruments on Hemispheres kick major ass.Big smile

Ugh, that pile of dishes will take me at least an hour. I'll get there eventually. I'm just wrapping up "Hounds Of Love" right now before I put on that album that I'll be reviewing tonight.


James, I was holding Robert Wyatt's 1985 album (can't remember the name) and I put it back because I didn't know if it would be a good purchase. Was that a crime?

Not a crime no, 'cause I don't have it either. LOLEmbarrassed

I don't have any of his '80s albums.

I do want Old Rottenhat though.

But I bought some other awesome stuff instead.



Alex would kill me because I also 'put away' Ommadawn

Oh, it's picking up now...

It just sort of goes nowhere... Book I is rather varied and more innovative.  Book II gets better towards the end though.

I've only have/have heard Wyatt's first 3 solo albums. I think you can figure out which one I think is the best though.Wink

That right there is why I like AFTK a bit more than Hemispheres.

both of you go check my buys in the purchase thread


Prof showed me Ommadawn last time I was back home and it was pretty... unmemorable for me. If I want some Oldfield I usually go for Bells or 5 Miles out.

I'll give you a hint: It's not the first one and it's not the third one.Wink

I tried Ommadawn and wasn't captivated.

And now I'm going to lay some hard truth on you all.

Christian Vander claims Mike Oldfield stole some of his musical ideas for Tubular Bells.

Shocked

The intro to Book I is cheesy, mind you.

My Pat/Ryan/Mrs Pat joke just got funnier because I didn't realise the part I quoted was in that voice. LOL

I'm trying my damnedest to get into "Songs Of Distant Earth" too, but it's on and off for me...

Oooh.

See that surprises me.  Rock Bottom is the best album ever made by any artist ever.

But I didn't expect you to think it was his best.

Odd, I know.

But then you're not as anti-my suggestions as Alex is. LOLEmbarrassed

Bird of Fire is an excellent choice (not quite as good as Inner Mounting Flame IMO though) and so is Fates Warning's APSOG. I have yet to hear the other three though.
