I've got to say I'm Impressed by
Woebot's 80s list. There are 10 artists I've never even heard of. Of the 33 records he specially recommends I only own 9. There is one worry in the Goth category, that's
Sisters Of Mercy's
Floodland. Is that a joke? Then there is
Thin White Rope's
Moonhead which is in the highly recommended category. This is an LP I expected to love when I heard it, maybe 3 years after it was released and was shocked that I couldn't stand it. I must admit I've recently thought I should give it another go. Hey Woebot how secret can a
Police LP be? Is this in the hiding in plain sight category. Hey
Man Without Shame Rapeman's
Two Nuns And A Pack Mule gets a recommend. Is it becoming a cult internet record all of a sudden? It's had 2 mentions in 1 week!
Here's the unknown 10 (well as it turns out only 5 are unknown artists).
|
??? Just saw this was produced by Philip Glass! |
|
Turns out this is Charles Hayward's post This Heat
project. Who knew? Gotta check this out. |
|
Turns out this is Gil Trythall who I do know and actually
own a few of his records including the title track of this
LP which I think was recorded in 1973. |
|
Bill Laswell & Rammellzee. Bootsy on da bass on
one track. |
|
This is a Bill Laswell project with Manu Djbango
amongst others. |
|
Electronic Canadians apparently. |
|
French bloke. |
|
Arthur Russell plays cello on this and Pete was the
trombone man on many of Russell's trax. |
|
Disco dude. |
|
I wanna hear this one |
