I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember, and sometimes it's easy to skip over things, and forget what you've got. I'm going to start listening to things in alphabetical order, it give me a chance to look through my collection again, and give me an opportunity to share things with other music lovers, and vinyl collectors.
The rules are simple, I will start at A, and choose an artist from my collection beginning with that letter, next day I move on to B, then C, etc.
The story so far...
- A is for... Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier
- B is for... The Beatles - Abbey Road
- C is for... The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust
- D is for... Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
- E is for... Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
- F is for... Mark Fry - Dreaming With Alice
- G is for... Gong - Flying Teapot
- H is for... Richie Havens - Alarm Clock
- I is for... Incredible String Band - Wee Tam
- J is for... Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
- K is for... The KLF - The White Room
- L is for... The Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
- M is for... John Martyn - Solid Air
- N is for... The Nice - Autumn '67 And Spring '68
- O is for... Oneohtrix Point Never - Russian Mind
- P is for... Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
- Q is for... Queen - Queen II
- R is for... Steve Reich - Different Trains
- S is for Squarepusher - Feed Me Weird Things
- T is for Tonto's Expanding Head Band - Zero Time
- U is for Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants
V is for...
Van der Graaf Generator - H to He, Who Am the Only One
This is the third album released by prog rock legends Van der Graaf Generator, and my second favourite! I would have posted Pawn Hearts, their fourth album but it's in a box somewhere and I couldn't find it!
H to He is still a fantastic album though, and is typical of their sound. I'm most impressed with their use of organ and sax, which more than compensates for the lack of guitar. Robert Fripp does make an appearance here, so there is some guitar.
My copy of H to He is pretty battered, as you can see by the pictures, but surprisingly still sounds pretty good. They don't make 'em like they used to, as they say!
And here's a couple of tracks from the album, you really need to listen to it in it's entirety, but it will give you a feel!
