Cool. I'm sure I will. I will include it in the next set of reviews. Cheers!

Good call. I forgot to add that. He was quite accomplished for getting into a new wave band. talented!

Spheres is the one I have

@ Lotsa long drawn out pieces on that one

Hey. I have a little bit of it. I do very much like the Synesthesia side project. Not as much material as Delirum but check it out if u dont know it. Which Deleirum album should I review sometime? I think I have one and a few tracks on comps...

@@rediscoveryrecords1348 Karma is likely the best album by Delerium. It is incredible and sounds like a mix of Dean Can Dance and Brian Eno. You will like it. Semantic Spaces is really good too. I will check out Synesthesia.

@@rediscoveryrecords1348 Karma is the best Delerium album IMO. It's like a mix of Dead Can Dance and Brian Eno and will blow you away. The song Window to Your Soul is very Eno-esque. Semantic Spaces is a great album as well.

@@rediscoveryrecords1348 I listened to Delerium's latest album Signs from 2023 and it alright actually. Not as mesmerizing as Karma but a good listen still.

Cool story. That must have been exciting. I have memories like that also of releases. Interesting point on NGD2.

Sparkle sounded like Simple Minds were trying to break into the U2 stadium rock sound(The Kick Inside of Me which is still a great song IMO.) Sparkle has a lot of good stuff on it nevertheless(Catwalk, Book of Brilliant Things, Speed Your Love) but it was the beginning of the end of classic, cool Simple Minds for me.

Agreed. If he does, I will ask him to be on my label for sure.

Ya. My label too! Lol

I would throw Arr of Parries in there. Serious funk in there. Cant go wrong with Quiet Lfe, Life in Tokyo, Ghosts and Canton. I agree, I like their 1980-82 period better personally. I think I reviewed Tin Drum before. I think I gave it aroumd a 70/100

100% agree. After that it was John Hughes movie themes, stadium rock, and Jim Kerr with a mullet and cowboy boots.

Nice

Agreed. Kick Inside Of Me is probably the sole reason or difference that Sons is slightly better than Sparkle for me. Its a song difference away. And that is the worst song on Sparkle for me

lol. Thanks! It was on the tip of my tongue

Synthesis. exactly. Agreed. I was trying to say it wasn't fully intentional that they meant to but they happened to do it.

Nice. Thank you for the comment. I think that if this album didnt have Midnight Hour in it and another really good track, that it would have made the 80s I thinik. Avalon will probably be in the 85-90 range for me.

@@ElectricCafe-45 yeah not a single weak song on Avalon. Near perfection.

@@ElectricCafe-45 Tim, here is a link to a cool electronic band called Cathedral of Tears from Southern California in the 80s. The singer is Jack Grisham, the crazy punk frontman for TSOL(True Sounds of Liberty). He had a period where he went electro-goth and formed Cathedral of Tears. It's a bit obscure, not on Spotify. Give it a listen if you are bored. I am curious to hear your opinion on it. ua-cam.com/video/B0pJYpqt2_Q/v-deo.html

@@ElectricCafe-45 Tim here is a link to a cool electronic band called Cathedral of Tears from Southern California. The singer, Jack Grisham, was the frontman for a legendary SoCal punk band called TSOL. He got tired of punk rock and formed Cathedral of Tears. They had a cool, Gothy electro sound. Give it a listen if you are bored, curious to hear your opinion. ua-cam.com/video/B0pJYpqt2_Q/v-deo.html

Cool. Stand and Deliver or Ant Music for me :)

You opened up and got better through the video. You did well for your first time. Good job :) Lol at rappers. Well, you dont much like hip-hop anyways. I cant believe I forgot Geto Boys!

Nice, I will check it out! Yes, I agree. They should have been bigger too. Its not my favorite style of music so maybe if it was I would have given it a more accurate score like it may deserve. But I think its a good album for sure. Its a little outside the box of what I normally want to review but I decided to try it. I like a lot of different music. But there is so I dont think I'm quite experienced enough with that sound to give it an accurate score. I felt that doing the L7 but still gave it a shot. I started doing a Dire Straits records I have. Their debut. And then just stopped and told myself I'm not sure how to rate it. I like them but i don't think its what I want to review on the channel anyways.

@@ElectricCafe-45 I hear you Tim. Electronic music is your wheelhouse. I like punk, metal, blues and grunge as well (no hip hop or country!) Your L7 review was great. BTW that Dire Straits debut is excellent. Riding in the back of my parent's car as a kid listening to that 8 track is a great memory.

Thanks man. Appreciate the nice words.

Thanks man! I agree. I like their 1980 (adding I Travel and The Fear of Gods)-1983 stuff the best. I do have a soft spot for tracks here and there outside that period but they could do no wrong then!

@@ElectricCafe-45 Agree. I Travel is a killer song. Looking forward to your review of New Gold Dream, a possible 90 for me

Thank you for the post. 100% agree. Appreciate it!

Do we know each other? lol! Thanks!

Thanks. You brought up a good point. My friend says I stroke my beard too much too. I guess I do these things while in deep thought and don't think about how it might look or sound. Part of doing these videos is to help me get better at presenting and getting across my thoughts. So thanks for helping me address them. Thanks for watching!

edit: “…that very few albums could even attempt to try and make me feel.”

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing. I was also 17 when this album came out. Thankfully MTV was still pretty good in 1993 to help me find this album because I saw the videos for !Laid and Saw Something. What's your score out of 100?

Ya I thought it was a good album. I only knew 2 tracks going into it. My sister had it when it came out.

Agreed! Nice to see someone who knows them. Very unjoyable album

The album is definitely one note one mood. I have a feeling the next 2 that are planned might round out the 3 in total in retrospect. My score has probably a bit of new excitement syndrome that will wear off. Which is why I am mostly doing albums from the first 25 years of my life 1976-2001 ;) Its a lot easier to rate albums that are older. Thanks for commenting!

Ya, I was really close. Really close

I think if #9 The Gayea and the Hanna Hanna tracks were a little stronger it would have been

@@rediscoveryrecords1348 Yeah just my opinion but a fine album no matter what

its too bad they are so underated

Awesome! Yes, I have been DJing in one form or another since 1988. That sounds awesome. Are you aware of Rusty Egan? He was a member of Visage and was the primary DJ for the Nu-romantic nights they had in like 1979. Midge Ure, Marc Almond, members from Human League, Mick Karns, Gary Numan etc had been there and others I believe. I cant remember the name of the club. Anyways, that would be like a dream come true to have been there and hear the hip new wave. Roxy would totally fit in. Ultra mod club nights. I like that. I always try to fit in some smooth Ferry music in my sets. I need to do my 2nd review for a Roxy Music and solo Ferry albums next go around. Any thoughts on which of those I should do? You choose.

@ Flesh and Blood or Avalon would be great reviews. Avalon might break 90!!! I like late period Roxy best like you do. I need to get into the early albums more as the hits from them are cool but it is more out there stuff than Avalon or Flesh and Blood. The big three Bryan Ferry albums I like are Boys and Girls, Bete Noire and Mamouna…… I think the club where Rusty Egan DJed is the Blitz. There is a good movie about this cool early scene and Boy George called Worried About the Boy (on UA-cam). It would be killer to be time warped back to that scene for certain.

The Blitz, good one. Ok, I will do Flesh and Blood next time I do a Roxy album. Thanks for the suggestion! Mamouna is soooo good. Love that album. Boys and Girls is great too. Stone Woman is my jam. I will check out that movie. That might have been the one I saw clips of. Boy George going rings a bellnow.

Indeed. I dont think Cevin gets enough his sampling prowess and fusing industrial with horror. thanks for posting!

Check the thoughts at 7:00-11:00 of this video if u havent. Talk about the horror movie sampling and reaction videos on them that are on youtube.

I know, I know. I'm being picky lol. I just think there is really only 7 or 8 songs. So its hard for me to give in the 80s at least. Close though. very close. See my ratings in the notes for my scale if you like. :(

I thought it would be in the 80s for sure. assimilate, deadlines and the choke! But a lot of average short songs. Love, Christianity and a few others. Blood on the wall isnt that great either. I wonder if Too dark park or vivisecvi will make it into the 90s. hmmm. Those are my 2 favs I think. Puppy forever!

Fully agree. It sounds like their turning point to their more polished sound. perhaps its just a sign of the time with recording studio techniques / equipment, studio budget etc. Thanks for posting your thoughts.

Oh, I forgot your Front 242 shirt is awesome. What you hear is what you get.

Awesome. Thanks!

I'm looking forward to reviewing Sons and Fascination. Maybe I should do that next. I haven't heard any of their albums from 1996-2016 to be honest. Everything before that I really really like. And like you said, you can always like something on their albums.Thanks for posting!

It was definitely a hard album to really rate in some ways...but then it wasn't.

So good!

Hey thanks for asking. Working on what to release actually. New artwork also is in the ix as well. Hope to have at least 4-5 releases for 2025. Hope you like whats been out so far. If you don't know my sublabel, check out discoveryrecords1.bandcamp.com/ . I did put out a new release there 2 months ago. Its free. Discovery is a digital only label with new or unreleased music from friends versus re:discovery is vinyl and reissues or unreleased. Cheers

Havent heard that one but I will check that one and do it sometimes. Thanks!

@@rediscoveryrecords1348 The opening song Don't Fall will blow you away

Roger that!

lol. my fault. I mean odd as in unique or different :)

@ElectricCafe-45 Us Kiwis would say, "All goods, Bro!" You made me check out more of The Motels 👍

Thanks! Love me some Motels. my hometown band

@@ElectricCafe-45 Go 49ers!!! (I have no idea what I'm saying)

haha! That was my favorite team when I used to watch football. Hockey is my favorite sport. You?

Pretty much agreed. I tend to like underdogs tracks on most albums. As I go through albums and try to rate them. Many of them ones I have known for 30-40 years, some are hard to rate. I am about to review Sisters of Mercy Floodland. Hard not to give This Corrosion a 5/5 as its an all time classic. But if I never heard it again, I wouldn't really care. There are some tracks and albums like that, that are bookmarks for the genre. She Sells Sanctuary, Rain, Fire Woman and Love Removal Machine are those type tracks. But I'm a bigger fan of Wild Flower, New York City, Brother Wolf, Lil Devil and those type more. Thanks for your comment!

@@ElectricCafe-45 Yeah it sucks that overplaying a cool song basically kills it for most discerning listeners. There are a lot of good tunes I never need to hear again. You Shook Me All Night Long is such a song. As good as Hungry Like the Wolf is, I can't be bothered to listen to it anymore. This might be a cool show topic. If you want a guest co-host, I am down.

Agree with you. I think thats why I feel like I need to give some of those classic some extra love on scoring them. Like West End Girls or Blue Monday. Classics that I dont care to hear often. But they are what they are. Nearly perfect tracks. Thank you for offering on the co-host. There will be some time next year that I do more videos where its a discussion, rant etc. Also I will have some interviews and other things I would like to do. I will keep you in mind. The idea of doing these videos now is for a few reasons. So I get better at presenting. I have always been kind of quiet - always listening to music versus talking about it. Also, to set a foundation of my music taste with these videos. And also a personal reason of rating them for myself. I do like to critique things and eventually compare them like I did when I was a kid. I once made a top 1,000 songs when I was 14 and did a top 10,000 songs 15 years ago (but didn't finish). I really havent told anyone who might care that I know, I'm doing this channel. Maybe a couple. I kind of just want to get all these album reviews out then go on to the next thing for the channel.

@@ElectricCafe-45 Sounds great Tim. I enjoy your reviews and channel a lot. You are off to a great start. Rants and top ten song lists would be fun. I like making the lists for good bands. Have you heard (or do you have) China Crisis Working with Fire and Steel??? Incredible album IMO. Also, I still really like hearing West End Girls....

Yes! I know China Crisis very , very well. Love most of their 1981-87 work. A lot of really good b-sides as well. I reviewed Flaunt the Perfection a few weeks ago on my channel. Working With Fire And Steel will be the next China Crisis album then since you brought it up. great idea. So many good tracks on there! Nice one

I understand. I thought I might get some grief from long time Duran fans. I like a lot of their songs. But I feel their albums are overall weak. They lack depth. Please understand that a 58 out 100 is a 'pretty good' album' on my scale. So it's not a bad album. I just can't say its a very good album. Rio might hit the 70s mark and 'Very Good' Hope you can understand.

Check out their epic remix

Nice! Me too. But yes, lot of experimenting and releasing most of it leads to a lot of music but a lot of ok music along with the good stuff.
