The Overview features on no less than 4 public AlbumWhale lists - turns out all 4 are mine.

  • Neo Progressive
  • English Progressive
  • Steven Wilson

and

  • Surprises. In some ways not a surprise at all. Terrific album - but you do need it to marinate.

The Surprise? He has an ๐Ÿ”—๐ŸŽตOrchestral version on YouTube

๐Ÿ”—๐ŸŽตAnnouncing โ€œLife, Death, and Dennis Hopperโ€ from The Waterboys | Sun Records

The announcement wasnโ€™t very clear โ€ฆ

โ€œLife, Death, and Dennis Hopperโ€ releases from The Waterboys on April 4th.

Today is the 4th. Not here. I guess it will be tomorrow - when it is the 4th in America.

I’ve started a new AlbumWhale list (and I haven’t even finished the others! Still.) The new list is called ‘Formative Years’

I’m an ‘artist’ guy, then an ‘album’ guy and then a singles/track guy. I like my music ‘in context’ The lists in here are way behind what I see in my mind’s eye - BUT the topics provide a clue to how I relate them all.
This new list is all about albums that ‘formed me’ and contributed to the music world I am today. At the time I might not have recognised it - but in the rear view mirror - absolutely.

First Up: Odessey and Oracle By The Zombies

Man cannot endure his own littleness unless he can translate it into meaningfulness on the largest possible level.

Peter O’Toole starred in ๐Ÿ”—๐ŸŽฌThe Ruling Class, a favorite when I was younger. The ๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ“ผ last song in the movie is pretty freaking great.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Dave Winer

I agree with Dave - ‘The Ruling Class’ was a good movie (not great - but good). ‘Favorite’? Not so sure, definitely not ‘in general- since it was pretty much panned at the time only time turning it into what we now call a ‘cult classic’. (But do watch the song - it has all the expected cheesiness of its time!)

Four years earlier was ๐Ÿ”—๐ŸŽฌ If - now THAT was a film and arguably did for McDowell what Layer Cake did for Craig.
