Are we only millions of bricks?

Advantages: The best Pink Floyd's LP
Disadvantages: none

...harvest of my life. The Wall, written in 1979 by Pink Floyd and performed by David Gilmour and the sublime Roger Waters is my best Lp. A long music tale, telling the story of Pinky: his youthness, the heavy love of his mother, his strange loves and, finally, the changing in his mind and in his life. The base concept is: are we only a brick in the wall? Only an anonimous part of a big building: only arms, without brain, without heart? around thi ...

...it. "The Best of Bros" and it was priced at £3.99, so I quickly shoved it in my trolley and ran to the checkout before someone else could nab it from my grasp. ●A Little on the History of Bros● Twins Matt and Luke Goss were friends with Craig Logan, the third member of Bros (who later left the group and successfully sued them for unpaid royalties) at Camberley Comprehensive School in Surrey, a firm friendship was formed and the trio ...
...Private Moments. (",) The Best of Bros (",) So 'The Best of Bros', well as a truly devoted Brosette im bound to tell you all that it is a brilliant CD to own aren't I?

Review of Best Of Bros, The [Remastered] - Bros

Led Zep standing In The Light

Advantages: all of sides one and two
Disadvantages: some of sides three and four

...1970's acoustic "III" album. Physical Graffiti came out in spring 1975 and was a massive seller, staying at no 1 on the US charts for much of that year. It is a colossal record and most Zepp fans will have either this or the "Runes" album as their favourite. Mine is actually "Houses", but hey, you pay your money and take your choice. CUSTARD PIE Zeppelin raid Bukka White's "Shake Em On Down" for the rythym track, although with a clever bit of keyboard ...
...rocker. The "Custard Pie" that Robert Plant is singing about appears to relate to a certain part of the female anatomy. I'll leave you to work it out for yourselves. THE ROVER Taut, driving, menacing tight but loose. The rythym section hold the song down whilst Jimmy Page spreads a glorious guitar over it. Robert sings of joining hands and dark sides of the globe. It's a plea for unity. Bloody brilliant it is too. Legend has it that the guitar ...

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

Advantages: Almost perfect album, improved seperation of sounds in remastered form.
Disadvantages: One or two slightly weaker tracks.

...tracks presented on them. However, Hounds of Love is something else. After an initially busy period, Kate Bush has been somewhat sporadic in her output although I'd saying raising a family is a fair reason so all kudos to her for doing the right thing. Hounds of Love did pop out a bit later than most people expected but when it did it showed a radical departure from her previous work and presented an interesting fusion of Fairlight samples, Irish ...
...in to two halves subtitles Hounds of Love and The Ninth Wave. On CD of course, it's just one big lump of music. The tracks are: Hounds of Love Side 1. Running Up That Hill. A huge hit single at the time that sets the tone for this part of the album. Lots of energetic if slightly muted drums and synthetic horns give way to the instantly recognisable Bush vocals that tell the story of wanting to do a deal with God to swap places with a loved one ...

Review of Hounds Of Love [Remastered] - Kate Bush

Old Owl Eyes Is Back

Advantages: Some Essential Reed Songs
Disadvantages: A lot of filler

This was Lou Reed's second solo album, post Velvet Underground, produced under the aegis of his mentor and RCA label mate of the time David Bowie. The album is heavily influenced by "Ziggy" era Bowie, which ironic considering that Bowie was heavily influenced by the work of Reed with the Velvet Underground. Reed influencing Bowie influencing Reed. The album is none the worse for Ziggy's influence. The cover is interesting featuring a scary stark ...
...and models representing Reed's male / female personae on the back. There are some fine songs here, opening with the excellent "Vicious" which could have graced a VU album, this is floowed by "Andy's Chest" about Mr Warhol. Next up we have "Perfect Day" which was also the "B" side of the stand out song here "Walk On The Wildside" with that loping distictive Herbie Flowers bass riff (for which he was reputedly paid a tenner session players fee). The ...
