…it’s a spoken word thing and it comes to mind….precisely is a little more difficult.

…and why not. Enjoy ourselves whilst we can.

Great film…I lost my head…(indeed)…nice one Alec.

Modern music to coin a phrase that improved the films enormously and actually is alive and timeless given the nostalgia they encourage. A fine legacy.

Quality Rock from a fine team…BC made you smile.

…I know what you mean…guitar boy hero starts to manifest then disappears…🤩

🤣…ha yes, yes it’s correct…and verified by a higher power…the SWT version is an ‘updated’ 12”remix…so not as expected and not as ‘advertised’….in the scale of things it’s a mild irritation…and perhaps only that to anoraks like ourselves…🤩

…and in the end Banal (extended mix) didn’t fulfill it’s billing (so disappointing) but we did get as the SWT remix so it becomes a relatively minor issue - and if I play the vinyl original as I can it’s a minimal loss. Another lyrically prophetic BN album done justice by a Boxset.

…nice to come first occasionally…🤣🤷‍♂️

…I enjoyed/like the Piccadilly Radio sessions…a great inclusion…and a nice little story MS.

Personally a step too far to purchase…I’ve got enough…think I might play our original lps, somewhat well worn, especially the covers, to enjoy the experience and occasional jumps & crackles & dust noise accompaniment…🤣😎🤘✌️

Sorry Boswell, no…but ‘White Sound - a mystery to me’ continues. It wasn’t included on the original vinyl but was on subsequent re-releases, of which I have, on cds. On this new excellent Boxset it is but not the lyrics so it just powers it’s way through after Decline and Fall - what’s going on…eh eh?….as with A/E/I the SWT remixes are superbly refreshing…😎🤘✌️

Expecting a report then arwc especially if us in the U.K. haven’t had it before you…🤷‍♂️

Early in ‘my listening career’ (coz that’s what it’s been) I decided to stick by my purchases. So I have kept all my(our) lps and singles(not many bought actually) and DG and others are correct - repeated listening to music (yes even ‘rock n roll) brings new delights. Obviously BN is one of the greatest music givers….the little laugh/in take of breath before Axe Victim actually says it all as does the track itself - how many years we can enjoy music is also a matter of luck…it’s perhaps driven me mad all this rock n roll but it’s just what the doctor ordered and I like it!

Yes I agree. And re-reading it looks like I made a schoolboy error as I was commenting on Live! In The Air-Age. 🤷‍♂️

If the effect you are referencing is the whooshing noise that links but separates the tracks I think this is truly inspired. In the latest re-release included in the magnificent Boxset it’s magically realised….the album as it was imagined running continuously. Very special.

…if that happened it would be great. Time to fish out my 2011 Nelsonica T shirt in support.

Wow…nice…thanks.

…well, we were lucky to eventually to get JC CD 15 (made in Britain) and EnigmaCocteau ‘Diary…In 2005 the Mercury compilations were very welcome. Of course the most exciting finding in the early 1990s was the EnigmaCocteau SOS with 2 live tracks!….how long was the wait for Art / Empire / Industry and the wonderful Live De Montfort Hall?….prayers do get answered 🤣 we are not alone 😎

As my Cosmic Sonoluxe Sojourn has reached All The Fun Of the Fair I have concluded once the Sojourn ends perhaps it’ll be time to Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam anew.
