What cool stuff have you picked up on vinyl lately

[WolverineSyr]

Bpdp3 - what did you think of Monsoon? I have that album & liked it a lot. I particularly liked Ever So Lonely.

I went through a middle eastern/arabic dance music phase for a while & found some pretty cool stuff.

[bpdp3]

It's actually one of my favorites on the list. Why hadn't I even heard of this record before? Very unique, especailly considering when it came out (prior to the later-80's 'world music phenom'). Still getting familiar with it; will go back and listen to the track you mentioned. WOW - someone else knew this one!!

The vocalist is Sheila Chandra; she's gone solo and released a number of albums, though none have interested me as much as the Monsoon material.

It seemed like her record company treated her like a second tier Ofra Haza. Didn't she sing a track with Peter Gabriel?

Most of my free time,is spend in vinyl discoveries,its true!i can't resist, everytime i find a vinyl store in my place or everywhere else.Bpdp3,just listened to Shoes,and although doesn't touch the glory days of ''black vinyl shoes'', its satisfying.What do you think about duffo?He was a real weirdo in Australia with his first band the Kush,until he was picked up by some managers, for a careere in England.In some moments,recalls the extravaganza of Tubes and the theatric vinietes of Sparks and Nomi.Great discoveries also,Furniture,the relaxing new wave of Pink Military and the Movies.

Vince Cadillac-modern boy(power pop)

Geza X-you godamm kids(experimental rock in Residents territory,from this weird punk producer)

Hounds-unleashed(punk spirited hard rock from 1979, with a great biker style cover,recommended!)

Thats all for today!!

[firefall]

Rubinoos-back to the drawning board(i think its rarest than their first one,but not so good)
Ekstasis-life in the shadows(a hidden treasure of this brilliant synth driven art rock band, from 1983.A bit of Screamers or Devo in a more normal style.anyone knows about this band?)
Go Go's-vacation.

[geoffolehane]

[firefall]

I'm looking forward for Four out of Five doctors second lp, with no luck!Their first one is special and eccentric new wave pop,really great.Today i scored
Zwol-same album from 1979, a german Bowie clone, pretty interesting.

Damage-mini lp of minimal hardcore in Fugazi vein from 1990.And the second lp of Partridge Family-i know, one of the most hated acts-because its clean,shunny and nostalgic 70s pop.God bless David Cassidy and Monkees,too.
