What is 3 D audio I hear you ask? No, well I asked...


"3D audio effects are a group of sound effects that manipulate the sound produced by stereo speakers, surround-sound speakers, speaker-arrays, or headphones. This frequently involves the virtual placement of sound sources anywhere in three-dimensional space, including behind, above or below the listener."


Ah love Wikipedia sometimes.


For many Krafwerk were the leading 'Electro' influence in the late 70's and early 80's.
To go further would introduce you to Klaus Nomi....

This release. If I've got it right, is Kraftwerk performing and recording all of their albums, in various famous art museums. Over a period of 5 Years. I should add 'contemporary' ie Tate Modern 2013.
I'm going to quote PARLOPHONE now, because I'm out of my depth.



Kraftwerk 3-D The Catalogue is a 3-D audio/video documentary of the Kraftwerk 3-D multi- media art performances in the leading museums of the world.


It features 8 classic Kraftwerk albums in chronological order:
Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991) & Tour De France (2003) – filmed and recorded between 2012 and 2016 on the band’s 3-D World Tour. The locations include MoMA (New York), The Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo), Opera House (Sydney), Norske Opera (Oslo), Paradiso (Amsterdam), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris) and Neue National Galerie (Berlin). These 3-D multi-media performances have been met with universal acclaim from both music critics and art/culture curators, rightfully recognised as complete works of audio-visual art."

Hope you were paying attention...
The release coincides with a tour, details to follow.
I'm just going to listen to the original records, and try and see them in the smallest venue possible
....The first song I heard by Kraftwerk In the very early 80's, is below. It is quite simply brilliant.

GRATEFUL DEAD

I'm waiting for words from "Danger" a propper fan of "The Dead" to add here.... please bare with me....


Back with their 17th studio album...(where did the time go) "World Be Gone" is a more contemplative sound.
I like the world weary songs most. "Still It's Not Over" and "Take Me Out Of Myself"
But I still like "Just A Little Love"... well who wouldn't?
Listen on iTunes or Apple Music.

I'm not the bigest Weller fan. I loved the early Jam stuff.... "Down in The Tubestation at Midnight" great song...and I loved The Style Council. But this....

This.....is a great piece of work. It's smells of the confident class that only Paul Weller's experience could permeate. Right through to the instrumentals . - Tim Sim

Bit Late with this brilliant live Peter Murphy Album xxx

What to say about this man? I had a chance to go to San Francisco to see him at the The Chapel. He was booked for a few weeks, mainly to perform his first ground breaking album .. "Should The World Fail to Fall Apart.."
But doctors put pay to that.....
If you haven't got : Should The World..... get it!

Juana Molina ❣️



I have to admit that I hadn't heard of Juana Molina before. But their is something about this album.
Listening to it reminded me of the feelings I got the first time I heard David Sylvian's "Voice Of The Beehive."

I just think this is a special sound from someone who is in tune with her music and confident with her art.
I'm going to send her a cuddle x listen on itunes and you'll get it... (the music not the cuddle..😘)

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ❣️

LOVELY CREATURES - intro by NICK CAVE

"There are some people out there who just don’t know where to start with The Bad Seeds. Others know the catalogue better than I do! This release is designed to be a way into three decades of music making. That’s a lot of songs. The songs we have chosen are the ones that have stuck around, for whatever reason. Some songs are those that demand to be played live. Others are lesser songs that are personal favourites of ours. Others are just too big and have too much history to leave out. And there are those that didn’t make it, poor things. They are the ones you must discover by yourselves.”

Nick Cave

If you haven't listened to Nick Cave and wondered at his songs. You should probably start. This compilation spans 3 decades but Nick explains his choices above.
One of my favorite ever songs is there. I've put it below. It's beautiful. I can't help feeling for Nick Cave after the tragedy of losing his son.
No father should outlive their son.

Blondie ❣️



I love Blondie. In fact Parallel lines was the first album that I ever bought. Way back in ...1978-9! Wow that must make me old...
I love that they are still making music. Their music. Fragments is one of my favorites. It reaches an emotion. That's my measurement with any art. As it must be yours?

I like the single "Long Time" and I Really think this is a good "Blondie" album. Because that's what it is. A Blondie album!

I love having Blondie around. They have paid their dues and along the way have been robbed royaly of royalties. They played a massive part in the New York punk (post) movement. The importance of Blondie - culturally, cannot be overstated.

I'd like to have breakfast with Debbie Harry. I would tell her over croissant & cappuccino that her and her band's songs will live on forever.
Then i'd tell her how much I admired her for looking after Chris Stein for all those years. Loyalty is one of my favourite things.
Along with "11.59"
