How to find albums you won’t want

*BETA Prog fans who like HUGHSCORE Caveman Hughscore also like these other bands' albums in the same genre: (based on ratings) Discuss this new feature in the FORUM RETURN TO FOREVER Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy COLOSSEUM Those Who Are About To Die TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI Lambertland HOLDSWORTH, ALLAN All Night Wrong CROSS, DAVID Closer Than Skin RETURN TO FOREVER Romantic Warrior HOLDSWORTH, ALLAN Velvet Darkness SOFT WORKS Abracadabra     You can't be serious?! There is very little if anything to relate Caveman Hughstore to any of these albums, with the exception of Soft Work and then Hopper isn't playing the same sort of music on the two. This is remarkable unhelpful as a guide, and should be avoided unless you want a good laugh.   Instead try Amy Denio playing with Fred Frith or separately wt Chris Cutler. Or Hugh's solo albums. Or Robert Wyatt's solo albums.

But they will know that already, and why be told the obvious?  And people who have discovered Caveman Shoescore, and not the others (admittedly less likely), won't necessarily like those artists or albums - because musically they are some distance apart.

BTW SD something in the post heading your way, that I said I'd let  you have some weeks ago. Enjoy.

Maybe we should be offered the choice:

a) let the PA machine make up the recommendations,

 or at a click on the button,

b) the reviewer is allowed to provide related choices - which I deliberably did at the end of the Caveman Shoescore review.

 

BTW please let me know when the PO delivers your end, to set up a private discussion.

Lambertland is personal and long term favorite (bought it first in 1974), but musically quite different from Caveman Shoescore - I don't understand why the two albums are being related? My point: there is a danger if somebody likes Caveman, then if they are tempted to purchased one of the recommended albums there, that they will be disappointed because of the significant musical differences.
