Music: April 2013
http://heronwatermusic.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
I spend so much time listening to it that I might as well share some thoughts on it. Thursday, April 11, 2013. But now I revisit and find a vastly increased level of functionality and ease-of-use. So let's go again. The Big Express" is an XTC album dating from the early 1980s. A period of mind-wobbling productivity for the band, pushing out reams of exquisitely crafted pop songs that sent critics into ecstasies and the general public into a swoon of indifference.

Music: Remastered
http://heronwatermusic.blogspot.com/2006/06/remastered.html
I spend so much time listening to it that I might as well share some thoughts on it. Friday, June 16, 2006. The energy that record companies devote to ensuring their consumers buy the same music over and over again never fails to astonish me. I suppose it all began in the 1970s when independent companies such as Mobile Fidelity began offering 'half-speed remasters' of popular best-selling rock albums, particularly those that attracted audiophiles in the first place. And Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus.

March 2007 – Music
https://musickna.wordpress.com/2007/03
A back-up of my blogger.com Music blog. What’s The Story? March 26, 2007. Walking to the sound of my favorite tune. Tomorrow never knows what it doesn’t know too soon. I was cycling through Forest Park this morning on my way work, my mind wandering as it usually does at that time. This time I was thinking about music, and specifically the Oasis of ‘What’s the story (Morning Glory)? I guess it really is all about timing. March 26, 2007. The energy that record companies devote to ensuring their consumers b...

January 2006 – Music
https://musickna.wordpress.com/2006/01
A back-up of my blogger.com Music blog. January 31, 2006. All I am going to write is based solely on what I have from the Heroes To Zeroes album, and I don’t know any of their other music (other than the snippet played in the Hi Fidelity movie). This is a situation I plan to rectify a.s.a.p. Rarely have I felt so compelled to collect a band’s opus as I do with this band. Simply put, The Beta Band, are the greatest neo-sixties-to-seventies acid/psychedelic rock band I have heard. If all the record relied ...

After dreaming I was listening to “Riders On The Storm” – Music
https://musickna.wordpress.com/2015/02/21/after-dreaming-i-was-listening-to-riders-on-the-storm
A back-up of my blogger.com Music blog. After dreaming I was listening to “Riders On The Storm”. February 21, 2015. I woke up this morning with my mind full of that cascading electric piano phrase that punctuates the Doors’ “Riders On The Storm”. Rock and pop are at the same point today. Of the mainstream forms, only hip hop and dance represented some form of evolutionary development over the past few decades, but even they have begun to consolidate into their own histories.

Music: March 2006
http://heronwatermusic.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
I spend so much time listening to it that I might as well share some thoughts on it. Sunday, March 12, 2006. Considering all the vitriol and censure that has been inspired by rock music from its very beginnings when Elvis asked if it was alright, mama, there are really very few rock records that can be considered truly toxic. The remix, by Iggy Pop himself, is entirely understandable. The original sound of the record is incredibly monochromatic. Guitars and vocals are merged into each other. ...The Stoog...

Music: Power
http://heronwatermusic.blogspot.com/2014/09/power.html
I spend so much time listening to it that I might as well share some thoughts on it. Friday, September 26, 2014. I have barely posted on 'Music' over the past few years. Partly this is because I have stopped buying music. My attentions have turned to the more creative, from a personal point of view, art of photography. This means I have stopped becoming a music consumer. I never thought I would reach this stage. Or at work over the tinny speakers attached to my computer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Music: Fog Tropes
http://heronwatermusic.blogspot.com/2006/03/fog-tropes.html
I spend so much time listening to it that I might as well share some thoughts on it. Thursday, March 02, 2006. I have always found the sound of fog horns uniquely compelling. Perhaps the song of whales comes close, but the unwavering and slowly unfolding music of the fog horn will hold me entranced for hours on any coastline where I should chance to hear the sound. So when I first came across Ingram Marshall's Fog Tropes. A brass sextet plays an important role in Fog Tropes, providing melodic and coloris...
