I grew up listening to my brother's prog albums with heavy synths. Lots of Tomita and Wendy Carlos too.

I bought the Crash Course In Science EP back in the day, and it didn't say if it was a 33 1/3 or 45. I decided that some songs sounded better at 33 1/3. More funky.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:09pm
Krys O.:

That'll work, Mr. Fab. Hey, Austin!

I loved Rick Wakeman and ELP too. All that proggy synth is for another time though.

A friend of mine co-wrote this song. Victor Lovera was a musical genius. He actually performed with our Irene back in the 90s.

Hi, Julie!

No more violins...
Avatar 👻 8:11pm
Mr Fab:

I would always check the "Electronic Music" section of records stores, and they never had much in 'em except for LOTS of Walter/Wendy Carlos and Tomita. Like how thrift stores are chock-a-block with Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond? I figured they must have sold an awful lot.

@Kat no not me, just friends. Catching it will be VERY risky for me. So I'm basically hiding at home non stop. Only one masking in my building and most places now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:31pm
Krys O.:

Gosh, Julie. Hope you're okay.

Kat, definitely keep those masks on. Dolby's first album was heaven for teenage me.

I just remember Malcom MacLaren making fun of Blancmange. Don't recall them.
Avatar 8:31pm
Julie:

no no, I'm fine...I just have friends (who have been careful) who've gotten it now. NYC numbers are going up
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:31pm

I've been surprised at the amount of masking I still see here, especially on the buses.
Avatar 8:32pm
Julie:

Blancmange are still making albums! and still good!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:33pm
Krys O.:

Glad you're okay, Julie. I have a mask on as soon as I set foot out of my apartment. I'm the only one wearing it at work, but I have thyroid disease, asthma, and a family history of vascular disease. Covid is mostly vascular with some histamine reaction side effect.

Sending the best Scott and best to all on the health front. Digging the show Krys beside work.

Avatar 👻 8:36pm
Mr Fab:

I seem to recall Blancmange as a bit Talking Heads-y, with thei ruse of exotic sounds and rhythms. "Dancing on the Ceiling" was a radio fave.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:37pm
Aitch:

Living on the ceiling, no more room down there
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
Krys O.:

I was part of a gathering that had lunch with Robert Moog back in 1996. It was related to a Raymond Scott tribute that my ex was playing in with many others. Wendy Carlos was at the club. She and Moog were peering into one of Scott's electronic instruments before the show started.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:38pm
Scott67:

Cheers Kat! It's pretty inevitable now if I choose to go out to Bands. The Government has done away with all restrictions, we have more Bug than ever.

"Living on the Ceiling," yes, "Dancing" was Lionel Ritchie lol

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:43pm

Good for you, Scott. I had my 2nd booster two weeks ago. It knocked me on my arse for a few days. My autoimmune disease causes that.

my 2nd booster hardly affected me but all three other shots were nasty.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45pm
