      I agree! I was just told that it could be Oscar Wilde and not Morrissey. That makes sense in the Morrissey world.

    I had recently got that Spiritualized album also. Great album. That Wall do Voodoo album was quite good, I bought it after RSD also. I’m shocked it was going for that much. Thanks for the band amp link, most appreciated. Posters are cool but yes they do stay locked up in the sleeves never to be seen but we feel good knowing we have them.

    On first glance, I'd say that etching on the Morrissey 12" resembles Oscar Wilde - and that certainly would be on-point! Surprisingly, Wall of Voodoo is a discography that has passed me by, and a lot of people rave about them. I will definitely listen to Mr. Rankins music!

      Oscar Wilde! Of course. That does make sense. Wall of Voodoo should be up your alley, I think. Their debut, Dark Continent, is really awesome.

    Very cool that you and Jason got to meet up again. 999 record looks good. I almost picked up that Spiritualized record over the weekend when I saw it at the record store, but then decided against it. Maybe I'll go back for it. I used to put up posters on my wall when I was a kid, but most of the posters I get in records now just stay folded up in the sleeve. Kind of a waste but I still like getting them. Or sticker sheets. Or maps. All that stuff is fun to have. Thanks for showing the records Brian!

      Spiritualized is consistently great. I think I'd rather have a print or something that hasn't been folded in an album. But, maybe I would feel differently if I had more wall space 😃

    Awww HP, thank you so much for the free promo 👍
    Velouria is an amazing Pixies song. I remember watching the video on late night music TV & always thinking come on Kim you can beat them!! Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to Thief is really good & I think that's 80's. Not a bad film either. When Edgar was still alive I got to see them do the Sorcerer soundtrack live while the film was on the big screen as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival. I agree and think the 70's stuff is the best. You gotta get the UK Smiths 12"s when you see 'em I think. Laser Guided Melodies is amazing and they are one of the best live bands too. The vinyl reissues with the re-imagined artwork are really well done I think. The last time I saw them they played with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra & a choir. It was insane! Yep fetching vinyl. When you think about it Mexican Radio is a strange song to have been successful. All my posters are still in the records. I have had great ideas to frame some of the best ones but of course that has never happened. Hell of a cover for Lullaby Orchestra. Ooo if there is a Do Make Say Think connection I'm interested. I don't know Nine x3. Our number is 000 in case you're ever here & have an emergency 👍

    • @EmbryonicRobot
      @EmbryonicRobot  Месяц назад +1

      Did I say that the promo was free? Cool Edgar story. That would have been great to see. Thief is one of the CDs I used to have. Sorcerer too. Where did they go? Spiritualized with an orchestra and choir! Wow, wounds impressive. Funny, in NZ, I was told that it is 999 like the UK. Both 000 and 999 are better than 911. It's faster, I think. I'll try to remember if I ever find myself in Australia. I may need it.

    Hey Brian, nice additions to your collection. I need more Pixies records! One of these bands I came recently/late to, so now I am trying to catch up. Rubicon and Phaedra are the only two Tangerine Dream records I do have in my collection so far, TBH I'm not familiar with their later/mid-80s material. Well, due to the many line-up changes by that time, it is almost as if it was a completely different band from one album to another. I didn't know you were a Smiths/Morrissey fan (French humor/sarcasm sorry about that).

    “I find it quite interesting”…”I came in later and bought it of course”…”It didn’t blow my mind”…I love The Pixies too Brian….”Each person has these massive amounts of things”…I actually like Tangerine Dream, but don’t have any other than a few tracks on the Risky Business soundtrack. “I don’t often like to buy things twice” could’ve been a great name for a Smiths single. I like Spiritualized too, but only have one album on CD. “$25, That’s a lot better than $50”…You should pin that poster up in the bedroom just to see Cecile’s reaction. That’s totally something I would do. 😂 I have that Cult record. Cool that you have Southern Death Cult. That’s something I don’t have.

    Sounds like you have retained your deep DJ voice. You really should get some insurance on that voice just in case it doesn't last forever. Ooooooo nice Pixies EP/maxi-single. Did you ever have a chance to listen to their cover of "Que Sera, Sera"? "Poland" is a pretty great recording from TD. I do like the earlier stuff like you said, the later music seemed to be less experimental, but they did come out with a few great albums during their 80's run. One of those that I absolutely love is "Le Parc", but for the most part, I prefer the earlier works. Love that Spiritualized album, one of their best albums, I think. I have most of their material digitally and a few on CD, but nothing on vinyl yet. I probably would have paid $25 for that Wall of Voodoo EP, I think it's worth it. I always just leave the posters in with the album jacket. Great album from The Cult, my copy has the other track listing. Whoa....Lullabye Arkestra, I love "Ampgrave", I didn't know they were putting out another one. I always tend to get them mixed up with Black Ox Orkestar probably because they are both on Constellation and their names are a bit similar. Amazing pick ups!

    • @EmbryonicRobot
      @EmbryonicRobot  Месяц назад +1

      I hadn't heard the Pixies doing "Que Sera, Sera" so I just fired it up on YT. It's a pretty good version, better than the original 🙂 I'll keep my eyes open for reasonably-priced TD records. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of Poland. Spitritualized has been amazingly consistent. I think I have made the same mistake with Black Ox Orkestar and Lullabye Arkestra. Orkestar - Arkestra!

    In the UK The Pixies were huge by the time Velouria came out because of the weeklies in fact ,that year they headlined their own gig in front of 15k people, I was there! Ride support. There was a lake between the band & crowd. So when MTV UK premiered the Velouria videoat prime time..confusion abounded!

      Mozzer 12" singles for about £8.00 each! That is stellar. In Toronto, it seem that everything Smiths and Morrissey is fetishized and they are often priced way about Discogs median value.
