I’m really enjoying this kit so far!

Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

I keep looking at it and I know that I need to spend some serious time with this fantastic piece of hardware again.
A new kind of map
What a great way to look at all the John Foxx releases and also to work out what I’ve got and what I haven’t!
So, Heaven 17 are writing again
This is great news of course, and I’m really happy to hear that they’re making something new for 2014. My personal preference would be for something that’s halfway between Penthouse and Pavement and the Luxury Gap.
Let’s wait and see what they come up.
A nice message from Blancmange
I’m looking forward to some new material from them in 2014 and remixes too.
Nice one Blancmange. If you’re playing in 2014 I’ll do my best to be there too.
Now here’s the real sound of Christmas … Tijuana Christmas (Sound of Brass)
Something from my childhood that I remember from every Christmas. Decorating the tree to the sound of Tijuana Christmas. My Grandfather used to love it too, and in many ways that sound reminds me of him, which is no bad thing at all.
It was awesome, and now I’ve found out that it’s on iTunes I can go grab it for myself and relive all of those memories!
Blancmage: Irene and Mavis
This has only just been re-released, and from what I hear it isn’t indicative of what Blancmange went on to do later, but I did feel compelled to get a copy. I haven’t played it as yet, but it won’t be long and we’ll see (or rather hear) what it’s like.
The Wire 2013 Rewind
So it’s time to find out what the alignment has been between the Wire and my personal listening tastes over the last twelve months. In previous years it hasn’t been as close as you might think, but I think that this year it may be a lot closer. A tentative flick through the magazine will show what the results are.
Either way I do find the Wire’s annual rewind a good way to catch up on releases (and re-releases) that I’ve missed or not properly listened to, so this year’s edition will make for good reading I’m sure.
Happy Families Too ..
So I’ve been listening to this for about a week and I have to say that it’s great. Whilst all of the tracks are clearly recognisable as the original songs they are of course very different from the original versions, and that’s good. Also Neil’s voice is different too. It’s a great album and I’m looking forward to hearing the remix album coming out next year.
Well done Blancmange.
