Another blemish track that I enjoy although with this one I do prefer the remix version (that comes tomorrow).

Record Clubs are the new Book Clubs
I read this article on the BBC site. I had no idea that people were doing this sort of thing, but it does sound like a great idea, except perhaps for the very high cost of the speakers!
Anyway, I think I’ll have to look into this in a bit more detail and see if there are any local to me.
Listening Day 11: A Fire In The Forest (remixed by Readymade)
I love the original song, but I also love the remix version. In fact the whole album is a joy to listen to.
Listening Day 10: A Fire In The Forest
Whilst it is a difficult album, this is a beautiful song and I’ve really liked it from the moment I first heard it. It is wonderful. I’m not sure what else I can say about it except that I always find it strangely uplifting.
Listening Day 9: Exit / Delete
This is an incredibly beautiful song. I could finish my post about it right there, but there is so much more to this track.
I love the background, how you can hear the sounds of a shopping centre check out in the background. It is such a delicate track and yet quite definite and sure at the same time.
I haven’t tired of listening to this song since the day I first heard it.
Listening Day 8: Every Colour You Are
This song is from the Rain Tree Crow album. You can hear the tension in every track. In many ways the whole thing didn’t work, but in a sense, just because of that it did.
I like this song even though it feels broken to me.
Listening Day 7: Darkest Dreaming
Darkest dreaming is, as you’d expect, a fairly dark piece by anyone’s standards, but even so there is a hint of hope in it. The music is sublime and floats around Sylvian’s voice without the two parts ever getting in the way of each other.
The song comes from the album ‘Dead Bees on a Cake’, which is a long listen, but has a lot of good tracks in it. It took me quite a while to appreciate the album, but now I really enjoy it and this is one of the tracks I like the most.
And now in iPad flavour too
I just enabled web app mode for the blog using iPads. So if you view it in mobile safari on your iPad it will come up as a web app and can be used in just that way. Hope that’s useful.
Thunderbirds are …
Stamps. Yes, dull, but I really liked these.
Listening Day 6: Cries and Whispers
This is such a delicate track, I really love it. It has wonderful mood swings and seems to change direction in mid flight.
It also seems quite a happy track for Sylvian, almost jolly even.
Still, I really enjoyed listening to it again.
