Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast (First time on vinyl. "Total Eclipse" is not in it, unlike my CD copy, I didn't know it was a bonus song. I think the album is better without it  ) Jonas Munk - Pan ( Kraftwerk meets Can. Great stuff  ) |

^ Number Maiden = Awesome debut Bruce - almost like Killers, but with Bruce singing.
Now, I haven't heard a jot of vinyl spinning........playing Taxi for Dad (gets his clearence to drive at Christmas,,,) and for Sis...........
Get home........a drink or three (on my fourth !!) help cook snd (for now, partially clean up) and now I have a ciggie - I will finish cleaning, then shall I decide what Prog Awesomeness to spin........at the moment, no idea.........

^ I still don't have a copy of Rubycon 
Yesterday: OGRE and Dallas Campbell - All Hallows' (An Electronic album released on Halloween. It reminds me of Goblin.) Riverside - Love, Fear and the Time Machine (It's funny how I feel like I heard a track a hundred times if I saw it played live. I know almost half of this album quite well ) Kraftwerk - Radio-activity (Quite simple music but really effective It's the only one I have from them  ) Papir - Untitled (Great EP. Very relaxing stuff  )

Sam, I started listeing to that `Day Session' Riverside disc, and I think the whole disc is going to be more in that ambient/drone/Lunatic Soul style - it sounds AMAZING! Will report back how the rest of it goes.

^ I didn't know if it was worth paying 10€ more for a bonus CD, that's why I bought the single CD edition. My other mistake was not buying the "Memories In My Head" EP on vinyl, I didn't know what it was nor how rare it is (and cheap compared to the prices on Discogs).

Hmmm, I seem to think I've got `Memories in my Head' on CD (at least, I think that's the album I reviewed a year or two back, I'd have to check again!  I didn't even know it was on vinyl. So youve been making your way through your Maiden collection, eh? Do you have `Piece of Mind'? I think that (and the above mentioned `Powerslave', not to mention those first two albums are sooooooo much better than `Number of the Beast'! I cannot understand why it's considered their definitive classic album, when (to me) there's far more interesting albums on either side of it! Actually, my mate messaged before saying he was studying while listeing to Maiden, which I thought was hilarious...and confusing!

I checked for you, it was "Voices In My Head" that you reviewed. The vinyl reissue is a self-release from last year. I don't have "Piece of Mind", I'll have to buy it eventually to complete my vinyl box set. "Number of the Beast" is special to me, since it was the only one I had from them for a few years (I asked that one and Judas Priest's "British Steel" for Christmas... it was a heavy Christmas  ). But I hear it more clearly on vinyl now, it sounds too clean and lacks power (especially the drums). I prefer Powerslave ever since I bought it. I used to do that too, starting to study with a Maiden album when I started early in the morning (replace study with work and that's exactly what I did today ).

OK, so clearly it's just me that would use electronic and ambient albums if I was studying. I often have it playing in the background, but certainly not Maiden! Far enough about you reasons for liking `Beast', we all have out own personal favourites that may not be quite as good as other albums, but it's a highlight in our eyes! To me, I got `Beast' and `Piece of Mind' at the same time, and comparing them back to back, I found the later had more intricate instrumentation, a thicker production, better material, better EVERYTHING! But I've come to enjoy it more these days. Hmmm, it's a nice quiet shift, might be due a new spin of La Coscienza di Zeno's latest! It's the gift that keeps on giving!

I needed to wake up in the morning, electronic music wouldn't help me focus. But during the night it was the opposite. Some of my studying playlists are on this thread somewhere I just moved "Piece of Mind" higher on my mental wish list It sure is!  I listened to most of it, on my way home after the concert last week, it kept me awake... and the Jorge Palma album I sent you too. I hope the cover didn't scare you
