I definitely have suggestions. 
So, The first Snakepit album is better than the second. It’s so good that the singer’s vocals don’t even ruin it for me and it should because his vocals are trash (but, oh to hear those songs sung by axl. That would be wonderful.) His second album is Ain’t Life Grand and the singer is better but the songs aren’t all that noteworthy.
Izzy on the other hand, I don’t care much for the Ju Ju Hounds album. But I really dig the rest. Yeah he’s huge in japan. So, I would recommend Ride On (Actually that CD is only available in Japan but you should be able to download it. I’m pretty sure iTunes had it for download when it was still itunes and not “apple music”). My favorite tracks are Needles (Not Drug needles- It’s a tiny town in California right before you cross into Arizona/Nevada) and Here Comes The Rain. I think those are my two favorite tracks from everything he’s done solo, Next album should be 117°. Next I’d say a toss up between Fire The Acoustic album and the River album. and I don’t have On Down the Road but I think I listened to it on youtube and I remember liking it, at least i think i do… Just haven’t got around to buying it. I think that was a Japan only release also. Anyway, I’d love to hear what you think of The Ride on Album at the very least.
The Cure - Japanese Whispers
Actually the only other Izzy I did hear is the 117° album…i definitely like that one also…gonna check out the Ride On album and some others tomorrow when I have some time…thanks for the rec’s,grmps…been meaning to delve into the other Izzy stuff for some time now so this is a good impetus to get on it…
“Still waiting for my Porcupine Tree cd to show up”
I hope it showed up. Never Have is my favorite track as of now.
Got it last night!!
Gonna crank it up this eve…
Did we watch the same video? Listen to the same song? It was awful. In fact, ‘awful’ doesn’t do it justice. It was excrement. Loathed every second of it.
There was a time when Ozzy was making fantastic albums. But that time has long since passed. Ozzmosis was ok. Passable. But that’s definitely where Ozzy and I part ways. Everything since then? Dogshit. I hated Down To Earth and Black Rain made me puke. Didn’t even bother with the last two. Why would I? This new track just seems to confirm every single prediction I made when I heard there was a new Ozzy coming.
I enjoyed it…too each his own…no offense but i honestly couldn’t care less that you didn’t like it…
Did you get the deluxe edition thingy ,Revco?
Yep. CD/Blu-ray boxset & the 3 vinyl boxset.
Yeah I got the same one…lovely set…the album sounds great…glad they are back…still wonder why Colin Edwin wasn’t involved though…
Agreed, great sound & packaging.
Here you go regarding Colin…
Fans from way back have been asking about [bass player] Colin Edwin, and wondering why he wasn’t involved in this project. What’s the story on that?
There isn’t really a big story. There are lots of little things that conspired to make it the way it was. I think the first thing was that the very genesis of the project was me wandering over to Gavin’s place for a cup of tea one day, and him suggesting we have a jam. And I looked around his studio and he didn’t have a guitar, but he had a bass guitar. So I picked up the bass guitar. And I think that one of the very first times we got together we started jamming that groove at the beginning of ‘Harridan’, which opens the record. And we had a few sessions like that where I didn’t even bother bringing a guitar – I was enjoying playing the bass. Like a lot of guitar players, when I pick up the bass, I tend to play it like a guitar player. So I do a lot of stuff quite high, I play melodies, I play chords, things that perhaps a “proper bass player” might not think to do. And so the very fundaments of the record, the very basis of the record, the DNA the record comes from, was built on me and Gavin jamming with me on bass, playing bass in my style, which is very different to Colin’s style. So in that sense, it became a bit of a fait accompli, by the time we had three or four songs, it was like, “oh, okay, I guess I’m the bass player on this record, then”. But there were other things. None of us heard from Colin for years on end. We all went our separate ways in 2010, and I would regularly hear from Richard and Gavin: “When are we going to do something new?”, “Should we get together?”, “Should we have dinner?”, “Should we have a cup of tea?” I didn’t hear from Colin, I still haven’t heard from him. So he wasn’t proactively pushing to be involved in anything new. But I think on top of all of this, the way I see it, the creative core of the band has always been the three of us. So it’s Gavin’s interest in complex drums, time signatures, polyrhythms; Richard’s emphasis on sound design and textural keyboard playing. Both of those things, filtered through my singer-songwriter sensibility. And again, going back to the very beginning, Porcupine Tree started as a solo project, so I played bass. On the first three Porcupine Tree albums, I played bass. And I played bass occasionally on tracks in the intervening period as well, when it was more my style that I wanted on the bass, more aggressive, more guitar-orientated style. So tracks on [2002’s] In Absentia and [2005’s] Deadwing I play bass on, so it’s not completely unprecedented.
Ahh ok well that settles that…yeah I had heard SW did all the bass on it,just wasn’t sure why…sounds great anyway…thanks for the info
Silk sonic def my favorite release for awhile now.
Fresh soul served up right even bootsy is involved in this project.
Best covid Era release flat out. Amazing performance and production.
Smoking out the window for sure.
Lots of 70s reggae. Especially “The Rockers” soundtrack, which is killer.
That’s a great soundtrack to a great film…
The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention
Not a Radiohead fan (they’re just ok) but I found this to be really good. Even though, yes, it kinda just sounds like…Radiohead.
Talking Heads- More Songs About Buildings and Food
Brian Eno-Music for Airports
David Bowie-Low
Underrated absolute masterpiece!
Yeah it sure is…of the Berlin Trilogy that one is my favorite…
By far his best lp next to ziggy stardust
