I've been listening to a lot of krautrock these days.
lots of the more ambient like stuff.
I've got a lot of stressful stuff on lately, piled on top of an existing mental health problem, and I'm finding that this kind of stuff seems to help with both those things.

Whoops.
The other one was Heart - Who will you run to
A 12" promotional single.
But I haven't listened to it yet.

Went to a couple of record markets over the weekend, only came home with 2, one of which I bought on a whim to see what it was like.
The whim one was Tangerine Dream - Cyclone
Having now listened to it, I can say that I do quite like the musical/instrumental parts, a nice textured sound.
However..... the vocals on side A are not my thing. Lyrically they seem a bit naff, but it's more that the singer's voice seems to be trying too hard to be powerful, which doesnt really suit the music accompanying it.
Combine that with a mixing that make the vocals quite loud, and it drowns out a lot of the music.
I feel it may have worked a lot better (to my tastes) if the vocals were softened a bit, and their volume dropped to a reasonable level so as to not shove through the music.

Currently it's "the Moody Boys" and the "journey into Dubland" EP
One of Jimmy Cauty's (from the KLF) side projects from back in the day.
But, tomorrow i'm heading off to a record market, so hopefully i'll be listening to some fresh stuff tomorrow evening.

I dont think any of their albums actually had a name, other than the 2nd one which had the big pink "2" on the cover.
The rest were just "NEU!" in Red on white for the 1st, white on black for the 3rd (Neu'75 from the release year) and the last one was White on Pink I think? not sure, it was a strange very synth heavy one musically. (I think it was put together by Michael Rother after Klaus died, using leftover recordings that never made it to an album)

I've recently been getting into a bit of Krautrock.
The first 2 Kraftwerk albums are great (Red cone and green cone), and I'd love to find a copy of each, but they've been out of production for a fair while....
Main one i've had spinning is Neu'75
A great album, and I love how bipolar it is, with the almost ambient music on side A, and the more proto-punk side B

I figured as much about Serge, I've read about a few of the songs but havent looked up the directly translated lyrics.
Thanks for the tip re: Mick Harvey, i'll look on the shelf for the disc, my girlfriend is a massive Nick Cave fan and so we've got a lot of his stuff, and also a lot of stuff from those he worked with so it's probably there somewhere.

Been listening to a lot of Serge Gainsbourg in the car lately.
Loving it, so smooth, so relaxing.
Granted, my French is very limited, so for all I know he could be singing about a bout of food poisoning, but meh, say anything in french and it sounds romantic.

Sooo.
My evening is being well spent.
I've just finished off a bottle of rum over the Beatles' white album, and now I'm about to start the second bottle with the Rolling stones.
(White album with a bottle of Rebellion Bay spiced rum, and the Stones with Mount Gay eclipse)
