"Right Now" has been "coming soon" for at least 2 or maybe 3 years now (do I hear 4???). Don't hold your breath...

There's actually a couple different versions of this CD out there, on different "gray-market" labels. Slightly different track-listings, but 90% the same music. Well worth seeking out, on a number of different levels -- especially if you happen to find it used, and cheap.

OUCH! Brilliant deduction! More like Kid Rock and Laura Schlesinger.

I only know Penn's playing on this: But from that alone, I'm totally sold. For me, any disc he's on is worth serious consideration for purchace.

Anybody ever heard this??? Neil Young's soundtrack to the movie "Dead Man" (from 1996)

A 70's artist that literally reacted to "New Wave" music (in 1983)...

Never heard, heard of, or ever seen this one before today... (Edit: Make that both of these - never heard, or heard of the 2nd one either.) Ringo Starr: "Sentimental Journey" (recorded in late 1969) Ringo Starr: "Beaucoups of Blues" (recorded in early 1970)

I used to have this ("Wonderwall Music" from 1968), years and years ago, on LP. (Got it when I was a freshman in college, circa 1987). Haven't seen it in years, and have no idea what happened to it -- or maybe I borrowed it from somebody??. In any case, I have no memory of the music either, I'm afraid... And I've never heard Harrison's "Electronic Sound" LP either, I'm afraid. It was from 1969. I quite like much of George's solo work otherwise, in the 70's and 80's. And that reminds me... You wanna talk about side-projects...

Then there's always a side-project by an artist who (at the time) had gone solo, after a long career in a band...

How are these???? - while we're at it... As I understand it (and verified by the AMG), Klark Kent was really a series of recordings released by Stewart Copeland around about 1980 or so, supposedly mostly tunes he wrote for the Police - which the Police never recorded. On paper, these recordings sound very interesting. Anybody here heard any of them??? Thumbs up, or down???

Any of these any good??? Afraid I haven't heard any of them, save for the occasional single here and there. ("Just Another Night" from the first one rings a bell.)

Well, if Pete Townshend's solo work can get some mention in this thead, then I should probably also mention Peter Murphy (who was, for many years prior, in Bauhaus). I totally dig Peter Murphy's solo work, damn near all of it. Probably my favorites are... 1988 Love Hysteria 1990 Deep 1992 Holy Smoke 1995 Cascade

No, it's the 3rd. Damn!!!

I wish. But look, (IMHO) the only Sam Rivers title worthy of being an RVG was "Fuschia Swing Song", and they went and made it a Conn. Seems that seeing "Contours" as an RVG is about a 1 in a million shot, at best. I've said it 100 times before.... They shoulda made "Fuschia Swing Song" an RVG, and followed it up with "Contours" as a Conn about a year later.

Is is Oct. 7th yet???

Excellent!!!!!

David Bowie's side project circa 1989-91. I liked the first one the best, but they all have their moments.

Yeah, I had that same album at one time. I went through a brief Zep phase too, in college, and raided the music library of the college's low-watt radio station. (Perfect place for finding all kinds of stuff/crap that nobody's otherwise ever heard of.) As I recall, "Scream for Help" had like one good tune on it, probably one of the ones with Jon Anderson (or perhaps he only sang on one cut). Forgettable, to be sure...

I've never heard this one personally, but I've thought about trying to track it down sometime. Any opinions??? Max Q from 1989, which was a side-project lead by Michael Hutchence (lead singer for INXS). I've heard or read that it's a more weighty and perhaps slightly more political album than anything that INXS did. (I haven't ever heard it, but I'd probably buy it if I ever found it used and cheap.)

I've all all three of these on CD, but I like the first one best by some margin. Side-project / "super group" featuring: Bernard Sumner (lead vocalist for New Order), Johnny Marr (former guitarist of The Smiths), and their first album also featured Neil Tennant (lead singer of the Pet Shop Boys). Pretty good stuff for those that like New Order, The Smiths, and/or The Pet Shop Boys.

I won't claim these two Jimmy Page outings are both great albums, but they do have a few fine moments here and there, particularly a few surprises on the Death Wish II soundtrack. If you see 'em real cheap, take a chance.

Hindu Love Gods released in 1990, but appears to have been recorded in about 1986. Basically R.E.M. with Warren Zevon on lead vocals (instead of Michael Stipe). All cover tunes, including a couple Robert Johnson tunes, one each by Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley, Woody Guthrie, and a great cover of Prince's "Raspberry Beret". I haven't heard this in years, but remember it as being a fairly interesting outing.

A recent odd release from Peter Gabriel. This looks like a duck (side-project), and quacks like a duck (side-project), so I think of it as being a duck (side-project)... or Never released in the U.S. (but released in the U.K., Europe, and Japan), Peter Gabriel's OVO: Millennium Show (from the year 2000), is sort of like a real Peter Gabriel album, but with a ton of guest vocalists on nearly every track. Gabriel only sings (or sings lead) on like 2 songs, and the results are mixed. If you really like Gabriel and find this for a reasonable price ($12 or so), it's probably worth picking up --- but I wouldn't pay any nasty import prices for it.

Lord, I can't believe the things I'm remembering from well over 10 years ago. Anyway, I had a roommate back in college who really liked the Alan Parsons Project, and this was a sort of spin-off project with many of the same musicians, and was produced by Parsons -- and definitely had that same APP vibe going for it at times. in the U.S. and U.K. - - - - - (or in Germany: ) Freudiana from 1990. The AMG review explains this peculiar release, though I remember the music as being every bit as good (or bad - depending on your perspective) as any Alan Parsons Project albums I had ever heard. (Not that I thought they were really bad, but my interests at the time were definitely somewhere else --- and still are.) ( The AMG implies that the German version might actually be in German (lyrically), but I have no idea if this is true or not. )
