What was the last full album you listened to?

[AstroZon]

I've been testing some equipment lately, so for the last week I've been listening to CDs nonstop (except for watching the Army Navy game.)

Here's what I've had on, mostly complete CD listens:

Madonna - First Album
Steve Miller - Greatest Hits
Dire Straits - First Album
Thievery Corporation - Versions
Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
George Benson - White Rabbit
Fabian Zone Trio - The Masters Return! (2 great Miles Davis covers on this one BTW.)

Never I mentioned to a very odd (but perfectly normal) group called Doves.
One of their best albums - The Last Broadcast.

El Beatles - Los Biancos Albumas. Did even listen to Revolution No 9.

In my youth I never really liked Beatles but lately I have found out that their albums, starting with Sgt Pepper are pretty much OK, or even good. The White is even very good, as the group show such a diversity.

Black box recorder: “England made me”

Recorded quite well with some great musicians playing on it.

Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Harris - All the Roadrunning

Apparently there were two Illusions. Here is the radio hit by the other one. There were three albums from them in the US, I had two. Don't know if they ever made it out of the US.

I lived about 2 miles from the University of Miami until mid 1973. When they had an outdoor concert we could often hear bits of the music if the wind blew in the right direction. Rarely was it loud or clear enough to tell who or what was playing.

One weekend afternoon we heard "Did You See Her Eyes" at quite a loud volume, clear enough to distinguish the song. I thought it had to be a nearby garage band playing a very good cover of this song, but as we rode our bicycles toward the UM campus it just got louder. Had to be the loudest outdoor concert I had seen at the time (1969).

Interesting!

There are a names that are shared between groups. Lokked for albums by the American group Ars Nova and found the Japanese heavy girl-synth-band with the same name.

Your Illusion gives me Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf vibes. Maybe a little Blue Cheer.

So I am soon finished listening to Illusion's (ex Renaissance) other album - Out Of The Mist.
There're supposed to be just to albums but I find a Enchanted Caress on Amazon and Renaissance Illusion - Through The Fire.
Confusing.

Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow

I'm now listening to the last song called "a rastafarian folk song" of Cymande is the self-titled debut from 1972. It's actually one of my all time favorites and plays at least a few time a week over here from vinyl...

Memories of Machines - Warm Winter, a suitable title.

 

[cakeman]

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories, just an epic album. Before that Carbon Based Lifeforms - Derelicts, sounds so damn good after seeing them performing live.
