Music thread #3: "Top Ten Albums of the 90's"

Nah, I just went to help mum with the shopping and saw it there

 

cdwow.com is a great place to get cheap cds...check out any potential purchases at http://uk.kelkoo.com first...damn good price-checking site...

 

I've used CD Wow a few times but they don't have either of the 2 I'm gonna buy today

 

I'm still waiting for my ***damn Britannia Music order to come through....grr...want music...

 

I'm really tempted to say something here but I wont

 

Go on Gav..I can see you're straining at the seams!

 

Sorry Poods - I'm trying to become more reserved and less cheeky

 

Shaina Twain....That don't impress me much

 

Don't worry...Arun said it!

Anyone else here like Enigma? Or at least the first album? Damn fine album, MCMXC a.D.

 

No...sorry

I can't stand those Bloody monks...

When it came to ambience and chants I prefered Deep Forest and Every Man and Woman is a Star

 

I prefer the monks to the native americans...which track was it they used in Matrix trailer?

 

I liked Return to Innocence, but that's the only one I've heard

 

Le Roi Est Mor is crap compared to both the first two...not sure what Screen Behind The Mirror is like...gotta get hold of that one yet...

 

I thought they released only one album

Jesus....they're is a market

 

1 = MCMXC a.D. (The one with the monks)
2 = Cross of Changes (Native Americans - Return to Innocence)
3 = Le Roi Est Mort, Vive Le Roi! (The crap one)
4 = Screen Behind The Mirror (Carl Orff's Carmina Burana as lead sample)

 

And all these recordings have been released in this country...or have you got them on import from Spain

 

Pah! All released here... species d'idiot

 

ambient...space...chillout and the orb

 

Screen Behind the Mirror isn't supposed to be much good Poods

 

Nah...but I'm a completist!

 

I used to be - I was gonna get every Pulp album at one point, thank God I grew out of that (have you heard their older stuff? yuck)

 

Quoff...One should not be listening to the abrasive and cacophonous tones of said Michael Cretu and his Enigma projects..one must look to the source of said music..

Brian Eno's Music For Airports is a good place to start..and doesn't look half as embarrassing on the old record shelf

 

No...not heard it...I was never all that keen on stuff like Pulp anyway..it was my rebel against conformity thing I had going on..hated Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Radiohead etc etc...

 

Well, I was 12 and just "discovering" (use that with a pinch of salt) "music" (see discovering). Of course, being that age and not reading any music press I had no idea what I was buying - hence Republica's eponymous debut amd other horrors in my collection. My God, that seems so long ago

 

Just as a closer to this whole conversation, I'd like to make a comment on the general issue of defining musical 'taste'. This is because I'm getting bored of defending my said 'musical taste'...

When looking at the issue of musical taste, remember the old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"...or in this case "Good music is in the ear of the listener".
It is the height, the very pinnacle, of arrogance to class anyone's choice in music as bad or tasteless. I prefer Phil Collins to Craig David, Genesis to Radiohead, Enigma to Dr Dre...is this tasteless? No...just a different taste in music to others.
Sorry...just had enough of arguing, even light-heartedly about my choice in music..I've spent the past ten years doing so and I was hoping that when I left Secondary School, I would leave that sort of crap behind...

Oh...I happen to like Republica too!
