just listening to this again for the first time in over 11 years 😀
[img] 
[/img] get out your glow sticks 😆
in all honesty it is a great trance album (well i think so anyhoo).
what have you been re-acquainting yourself with? 🙂
Sleeper - the IT girl.
various supergrass CD's
From my mid/late 90s indie days at college.
Entertainment - Gang of Four, forgot how good this was/is
Rock n Roll With The Modern Lovers - A wonderful thing!
April Wine - Harder Faster
haven't listened to this since the mid 80's, but an episode of Trailer Park Boys brought it all back to me.
Still a cracking album
Just this morning actually. Weezer's blue album.
At the risk of being controversial, I do not think a collection of music from a number of different artists really counts as an album.
Levelling the Land
Kingmaker - Best Possible Taste.
ELO, heard in a bar in New York a year ago for the first time in ages and they used Mr Blue Sky at the Olympics (Mo's victory lap)
The Modern Lovers
I have just come across these recently, brilliant stuff
D:Ream On Vol. 1
Interesting. A reincarnation of Wishbone Ash are appearing at our local Free Festival (Monmouth) next week which inspired me to dig out one of their old albums, [i]Argus[/i], just a couple of days ago. Took me back, ahem, ooh, about 40 years 😯
"Declaration" by The Alarm. Classic.
Never gets old...

Earth vs The Wildhearts
I'm 14 again. And drunk.
Ahh, Nothing ever changes...but the shoes 8)
The Real Thing
Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds
Nirvana - Nevermind
Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust
Future Sound of London - Dead Cities
It's like being back in the nineties (except for Jeff Wayne, but that's when I discovered him!)
Thanks to the joys of Spotify, I rediscovered The Electric Boys "Funk-o-Metal Carpet Ride" the other day.

+1
A superb album, though it's been a constant fave of mine since about '89. I can remember buying it after school in 'Our Price Records'
Carmel- The Drum is Everything. Re issued with bonus tracks, yipee.
All the Incredible String Band albums. How old does that make me?
Recently dug out Acme by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Made me dig out Pussy Galore and Royal Trux as well.
Also pulled out Two Nuns and a Pack Mule by a Steve Albini incarnation.
They are all so gooood.
Also also, Adam Yauch's death made me dig out Ill Communication. God I love that album...
Graceland - Paul Simon
morcheeba - Big Calm
hadn't heard it for donkeys, every track's good.
xlaire - if you liked 'Copper Blue' you have to try 'Beaster' by Sugar, they go together so well....
What's your favourite Beatles album?
Reading, writing and arithmatic, The Sundays.
Fair Warning, Van Halen
Tesla, Tesla
Dug out Money Mark, Push The Button after years, i keep hearing it on that annoying Suzuki advert... great stuff

There was an album released in 1982 by a band called Beckett, from up north, somewhat proggy, one member joined Back Street Crawler afterwards, anyway haven't heard it in over twenty years, can't play my vinyl, but I tracked down an MP3 version, which I downloaded free. Got pops and crackles on it, but still sounds good, after all this time. Quite chuffed at finding that. 😀
Queensryche mind crime = should of discovered sooner as I have another QR album which rocks the house down.
cheers for that! 😀
Actually, scrap that last comment,mindcrime after having listened to all on youtube is utter crap.
Least I know I have the decent album then , ladee dah
Some of the younger STWers will probably need to have the concept of "a music album" explained to them!
All that they know is itunes...
Another ageist lurking in the midst again.
Go on then let,s have your def on good old skool toons

Keep hearing tracks from Ultravox's 'Vienna' recently - maybe its an anniversary or something. One of the first albums i bought (still have it somewhere) excellent album......
Billy Bragg.. Talking to the Taxman About Poetry.
Just dug out the Sugar album (on tape), thanks xlaire.

Hear something on a dodgy late-night radio channel with your transistor under the pillow, get down to the local record shop next day, sift through all the vinyl, chat to the man behind the counter to find out what the album's called, order it, wait excitedly and impatiently for a few days, get it home and onto the record player. Yeahhh!!
Or... catch something on a you-choob link on an internet forum then download...

& then find out it's the wrong album! I'm thinking Yo! Bum Rush the Show vs. It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. & me not confident enough to take it back. But My Uzi Weighs A Ton!
In a moment of nostalgia I recently dug out Sign O The Times by Prince. It holds up remarkably well.
Rush - Hemispheres. Got it on Spotify as I type. I have the original vinyl version at home. "Now the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe and saw".
@noteeth - restored my faith there. Classic album. I never forgot about it though 🙂
Just going through a load of old CD's at the mo.
International Velvet by Catatonia is still excellent, as are all the Cornershop albums.
Astronomy for Dogs by the Aliens should have been huge too.
Only up to the 'c''s, more later!
Fantastic thread... Just digging through the collection now for some tunes for tonight! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Dug the first Happy Mondays album out othe other week, Squirrel and G-Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out), there's some belters on there.
morcheeba - Big Calm
hadn't heard it for donkeys, every track's good.
Seconded, amazing album.

Thirded!
Takes me back to the summer of 98 when I met my wife!
Listened to Dark side of the Moon tonight......still grips me after 25 years
I've got 'Way Beyond Blue', which I love to bits, and a whole bunch of singles, but not the later albums. I'll have to get them off Amazon sometime, then I can get Cerys to sign them next time she tours.International Velvet by Catatonia is still excellent.
Got everything else of hers signed, so I might as well complete the set... 😀
Stranglers Rattus Norvegicus and No more Heroes Dave Greenfield is a genius
just dug out some visage....was expecting it to be crap....still really like it!
depeche mode are still rather jolly as well. That's tomorrows commuting soundtrack sorted,what a top thread.
Big Country " The Crossing" ,absolutely brilliant album, timeless!!! Not an album but a couple of 12" singles l recently dug out by White China , Smiles and jokes and Real World ,awesome tracks!!!

Every now and again this pops up on my random play and blows whatever I was previously listening to out of the water.
Simply sublime.

Lots of good stuff mentioned but +100 for the goats. Brilliant album and of my favorite hip hop albums ever. Got it on vinyl somewhere - off to look for it now! If that's your bag and you don't know it get yourself over to Spotify now. Off you go.
It all started with this for me :
