ghost of miles Posted April 11, 2022 Report Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Peak 80s art pop: ... an excellent retrospective of the band's initial 1980s run. This is one of those collections I revisit every couple of years. Was fortunate to see them on the Mirror Moves tour in 1984. For my money their best albums are Forever Now and Talk Talk Talk, but everything's sparkling through Mirror Moves, and this set gathers a goodly amount of the better songs they laid down after 1984 as well. (I remember hearing "All That Money Wants" on the radio when it came out in 1988 and thinking "Damn, this is quite an FU to Midnight To Midnight"--their most recent and most commercially successful album, but one that left them feeling that they'd taken a vacuous, soul-depleting turn.)

Jim Duckworth Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Wasn't too enthused about this, but I have found that it helped contextualize a period of FZ's music for which I have had very little use over the last few decades. Quote

HutchFan Posted April 18, 2022 Report Posted April 18, 2022 Doc Watson - Memories (UA / 2 LPs, 1975) and Doc Watson - Doc and the Boys (UA, 1976) Two from Doc & Merle's terrific run of albums for Poppy and United Artists during the 1970s. It's music that really scratches my folk-bluegrass-country-blues itch. Quote
