I don't know what it is - it just clicks with me. Yes, and I'd add Beethoven's late piano sonatas. Something almost mystical going on there. . .

Wibbles Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I really need to listen to more of The Furries. The problem has been that I thought "Rings Around the World" was such a masterpiece that anything else was unnecessary. I can see I maybe need to readjust my thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wibbles Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I spent Christmas up in Northamptonshire with my family. So for a Cobblers connection, here are three tracks by Northampton bands all featuring David J*: * and as @craigb knows, Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins are in two of the bands. Northampton wasn't a very big town at the time. Edited December 30, 2019 by Wibbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still in the band for the recording of S*x and Travel but left a few months after its release in 1985. Kevin Haskins does not appear on Scandal in Bohemia but he did provide drums on the single version of Southern Mark Smith and its B side, The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula. I could go further into excruciating detail ... Edited December 30, 2019 by Wibbles It bloody ***** out S*x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the discogs profile and the wiki entry associated the Jazz Butcher with Oxford. He/they may have played their first gig there, but it was definitely a Northampton band.

Wibbles Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I came across this track because David J plays bass on a couple of tracks on the album from which it comes: Edited December 30, 2019 by Wibbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbles Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I spent my teen years in rural Northamptonshire, which is when the Jazz Butcher and Bauhaus first came to my attention. The rest of my immediate family live in and around Northampton. But I've been in Reading since I was 19. There's not a huge number of prominent artists/bands from Reading, but here's Mike Oldfield ... kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Prokofiev's Symphony #2 in Dm - The Royal Scottish orchestra conducted by Neeme Jarvi The first heavy metal album? Prokofiev characterized this symphony as a work of "iron and steel". It's not my favorite from him, but it's definitely heavy metal.
