MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

the last two CDs i bought that were genuine No. 1 ( almost complete sell-outs ) and the day of release were

Nick Cave - Murder Ballads ( the full album )

and Pantera - Far Beyond Driven

but i listen to a wide range of non-mainstream music from obscure classical , various ethnic musics , to brutal and extreme heavy metal

if you have an open mind the cross-overs between genres can be mind-numbing but amazing


which is a cover version of Hickory , Dickory , Dock ( the mouse ran up the clock )
 
was a fan of this band in the decades gone by.


Had the album on cassette but somehow it slipped from the playlist. It was a good high intensity work, good driving music.

Recently, my son said he heard "Hammerheads" and this triggered a memory. ...he would've been 7 or 8 when he heard it way back when.
 
from Eno's 1974 LP, "Here Come the Warm Jets" ...



The track people always go to and cite on the album though is “Baby’s on Fire”. It is a blistering explosion th a non-stop rhythm from Simon King played mostly on high-hat and bass drum. Electronics swirl and squiggle through the track with Brian Eno sneering out his story that is something of a commentary on media culture and celebrity as “photographer’s snip snap.” Then comes Robert Fripp’s tear-you-head-off guitar solo swirling through bends, feedback and distortion. Along with his work on David Bowie’s “Heroes” it’s Fripp’s best solo work outside of King Crimson.

.... A compelling experiment in controlled chaos ..

there's a live version out there somewhere that has lodged in my brain. ... Kevin Ayres?
 
18 years after Elvis, and now itself nearly half a century old, we get this.



... trying to figure out if it was more dope than avant-garde
