Last couple of records tend to have people checking their hardware :-P Amazing stuff

I've picked up a few audio tricks over the years and have become fairly handy at cleaning / editing / post-production in general. I can make unimpressive recordings sound much bigger or can apply transparent post-production to make your mixes louder / more widescreen without brickwalling them...

I get that the attitude influenced a lot of people, dark, literary, sometimes noisy (goth and post-punk) but I know very little that really sounds like the first album. I tend to think that the space rockers and paisley underground people sound more like an amped up version of the third album...

What would you point to particularly?

'The Velvet Underground Bootleg Series' (The Robert Quine tapes) was a real eye-opener for me as someone who had sort of written them off after Cale left. These tapes show them in action as a jam band in the Grateful Dead sense - extended improvisations that have this huge cumulative effect.

Beg to differ on the Sylvian / Fripp album ... I was hugely disappointed at the time but it came to mean a lot to me. Those first couple of Sylvian records are still exemplary high-wire acts of marrying experiment with incredible craft .. as with Eno, Gabriel, Walker, Bush et al in the same period

Tonight actually

This expresses some of my feelings about Shudder to Think - local boy doing video essay tribute

Had to throw in my tuppence ha'penny on this. 1. The album is worth the price of admission for 'A Touching Display' alone. I have never heard such a beautiful maelstrom. 2. It has 'The 15th' 3. Everything else 4. The run of albums from Pink Flag to 154 is among the most amazing arcs of evolution...

Originality and ownership belong to the idea of music as a commodity. The VU are part of a story that did not begin with them and is far from over. They were a seismic event though ... mind-blowingly large. My hype comment is that their influence and worth can't be overstated.

Tonight tonight tonight

Is anyone going to address the elfin in the room?
