In Reply to: looking for sexy pop makeout tunes and compilations posted by budget minded on October 14, 2005 at 20:48:39:
Bryan Ferry,"Mamouna"(remastered)like an extension of "Avalon"
Bryan Ferry,"Frantic"I like the entire disc but I'll hi-lite these:It's All Over Now(Dylan),Godess of Love,Don't Think Twice,A Fool For Love,I Thought(Eno)Try; Felt Mountain(Goldfrapp)
Love in the Time of Science(E.Torini)Didn't see any Zero 7 on your list...they've a great pop/electronic mesh
Follow Ups:
never even heard of "zero 7". can't put anything i've never heard of on the list. never heard of "goldfrapp" or "e. totini" either. if they're electronic bands, i've never heard of them as i gave up on auditioning new electronic bands as most of them sound exactly alike to me. it's very hard to discover something good by accident, that's for sure. well... rykodisc almost always has a few great tracks in it's collections.i'll still have to give them a looksee. couldn't hurt.
just recently, i remembered "across the universe" by fiona apple from the end of pleasantville. she sounds sexy there.
from what i remember, doesn't bryan ferry sound alot like later roxy music in his solo work too? i should feel lucky that my "street life" compilation has the most great tracks where 2-3 others are missing a track or two.
virginia plain
love is the drug
slave to love
avalon
in the midnight hour
same old scene
and
more than thisnone of the other compilations had all these tracks. they're a pretty hefty chunk of great tunes for sure.
to see if you tryed and liked any of the suggestions...in particular the newer B. Ferry and Zero 7?
If I can hone in on your tastes,then I can throw up more ideas.
no, not yet. listening to the other stuff i didn't like burned me out for a bit. i guess i'm just too fussy. i don't like alot of things most people do in music and love alot of things everyone else seems to hate like instrumentals.i imagine that b. ferry's solo work is similar to his roxy music stuff. in fact, he was credited on the cover of my "street life" CD. i need to get into an adventerous mood again to try new tunes out. more often than not, my response to other's suggestions is "how could anyone like this?" LOL i'm sure those people would feel the same way about my favorites too.
The heart likes what the heart likes.Don't fret it.
Have to stress, that online(reduced data)samples are a mere shadow of their respective counterparts.
I sample via walkman w/decent head-phones at local used music outlets.Good way to hear truer examples,if able to to so.
oh, don't get me started on MP3. LOLit's a total step in the wrong direction. 16/44 digital is the MINIMUM that i'll listen to. after 20 years of mediocre CD resolution, 1/192 SACD and 24/96 DVD-A come along and what does everyone do? they embrace COMPRESSED lower resolution MP3. arrrrrrrgh!
i want MP3 to die. 16/44 wavs is as close to it as i'll ever get. i want to encode my vinyl to 24/96 DVDs, but i don't have the hardware to at the moment.
i bought pretty much everything in my collection except some old radio shows and a few taped albums. now that i've FINALLY accepted digital (took 10 years +) i won't settle for anything less than a CD or mint vinyl.
the ONLY songs i download are the samples i check out at record stores for something new to me.
As a confirmed vinylist, I always disliked the crude sound of first-generation CDs and I collected vinyl throughout the 80s and 90s.
Recently, I have converted many of my vinyl LPs to the 24/96 HR format.
The .wav files can be played directly via computer to hi-fi link, or used to produce DVD-Audio discs at various quality levels, or even down-sampled to produce great sounding CD/Rs.
Many vinylists should be able to listen to them without experiencing too many withdrawal symptoms.
The resulting files are a little harder and more "in-your-face" than vinyl, but they "grow" on you, becoming quite addictive after a while.
The captured information levels can be awesome, providing you use high quality vinyl, software and hardware.
I understand that you must retain ALL your viyl originals, have only one digital copy at any one time and never sell or give away any digital copies.
I could go on for a long time about compressed files, DAB radio and such, but I have resisted the urge.
