the sole mention of the Sprouts tempted me. Suppose it's not black metal then...
ReplyDeleteI love your metal posts too. Thanks
I just scored a copy of this record off discogs at the start of the week, it must be out in the ether. Thanks for the awesome blog and all the effort, you have amazing taste. the rnb and funk might take me a while longer to dig, but if you rate something its probs worth getting out of my comfort zone for eh!?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd if you like this, then hunt down "Joyland" by Liberty Horses, the band that formed from the ashes of The Bible. "Shine" is my favorite song of all time.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at Prefab Sprout / fretless bass. Haven't checked the site in a minute! Glad to see you're still serving up heat :)
