RE #197 & #199 "Riders of the Storm" was the Doors' big hit when Jim Morrison
died, which may explain the cult following of that number.

"Walter Carlos' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE;" tatty 25-year-old vinyl getting
an airing now that I have *finally* gotten my turntable to sit level
on this creaky old floor.

Orinoco in #202: "Walter Carlos' A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" is Carlos'
presentation of all the music Carlos worked on for the film,
whether it was used or not. It has been out of print since its
initial release in 1971 (?),
presumably due to legal wrangling. The Carlos LP includes an
original composition, "Timesteps;" two movements from Beethoven's
9th Symphony, the Second (Scherzo) and an abridged Fourth (Choral);
Purcell's "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary"; and Rossini's
overture to the opera "The Thieving Magpie." This is all early
Moog synthesizer stuff, of course.
There is also an official soundtrack recording which includes only
portions of the Carlos performances.
NP: more vinyl: Malicorne, LE BESTIARE. French folk-rock from '78.

Five Hand Reel, debut self-titled LP from '77. More ticky vinyl.
Scottish folk-rock band which ranks with Steeleye Span in quality,
but which never got any US marketing.

The disc just arrived from an acquaintance in Australia this week.

Fairport Convention "Leige and Leif" just finshed on the CD player. probably
the classic British folk/rock album. This album has great singing, great
fiddling, and Richard Thompsom on guitar, highly recommended.

Plus, with the addition of that Leif fellow it's even better!
Listening now to U2's "Zooropa" album and mourning the fact that the
follow-up album is so awful. Granted I'm biased in favor of Zooropa
because (thankfully) it's almost more of an Eno album than it U2 but
the singles from the new album are just appallingly bad.
C'mon: "over me and over you / stuck together with God's glue /
gonna get stickier, too"? Is the whole album that bad or is there
some reason the low point has been singled out for incessant air-play?

Annelin Neadit, SKEAKIT. More Sami (Lapp) music. I am probably
mangling the spelling.

Actually, Mike, I personally think that the new album is excellent. Of
course, reluctant U2 fans of old have some trouble with the first two
singles.. but I don't have the problem of being an old U2 fan, I can actually
listen unprejudiced.
Staring at the Sun is one of my least favorite songs on the album... I don't
know why people obsess over it. "Do you Feel Loved" is much better, and it
sounds a bit like old U2. "Miami" is different, but I like the plodding pace
of it and the general feel.
Freak, Silverchair (I dig calling myself a freak)

Well I frequently find that when I like an album by a mega-popular band
the tracks selected for radio play are the ones I least enjoy..
I'm willing to admit that "Pop" might be a good album -- I was very
pleasantly surprised by "Achtung Baby" and especially "Zooropa" --
after the insane overplaying of "Unforgettable Fire" and "Joshua Tree"
during the time I lived in the dorms I thought I'd never be able to
bear to listen to a U2 song again, let alone enjoy two successive albums.
Nevertheless, if I ever buy "Pop" I'm going to be glad that I've got a
CD changer that can be programmed to never, ever, ever play "Staring at
the Sun."
Anyway, I suppose this is all fodder for a different item. What am I
listening to now? "Dub Gone Crazy" by King Tubby & friends..

Actually, 'Joshua Tree' is one of my favorites, if only because I never heard
it when it was overplayed on the radio and hence don't have that bias against
it. 'Unforgettable Fire' I've never heard, but I've also never heard anyone
say anything nice about it, so...
Oh, and "On" by Adrian Belew.

it's interesting how radio ariplay can so completely turn me against some
songs... I liked zero by the smashing pumpkins until it came out on the
radio.. then voila, I hate it. Smae thing goes for New Pollution by beck,
Excuse Me Mr. by No Doubt, greedy Fly by Bush. the List goes on.

yeah, once radio grabs ahold of something, they play it to death and back.
most anything that gets played and played, i get reallly sick of.. so if i
like a song and don't want to get sick of it.. i make a point of either not
listening to radio, or not listening to the song when it comes on..
