Ever forgotten about a CD..........

...........and put it on after not listening to it for years and think to your self, "why don't I listen to this more often?".

Been listening to this for two days now

Thought this was going to be a weeding admission from the title

christophe · 15 May 2006, 17:02

all the time.
I have lots of records i don't play often but just when you wouldn't expect it you feel the need to put them on again

for example some old ska and skapunk stuff

Andie · 15 May 2006, 17:15

freaky Keith...

i did the same this afternoon when i chose this

for the car

Quite frequently as I forget about the cd's I actually own and spend too much time listening to new stuff I have got from Soulseek, and I never manage to keep up with all of that either

I did have a death metal reunion the other week which was excellent

Every time I put the Banshees on. Siouxsie soundtracked my teens, literally listened to some of those albums (the mid-period ones and Once/Twice Upon A Time) every single day. They will always have pride of place in my record collection

.

Occasionally I go back even further to the stuff I was listening to in my preteen years, dig out The Holy Bible by the Manic Street Preachers - I got that when I was 13 and the lyrics caught me on the level of being a lonely, isolated and very unhappy kid - basically the out-and-out misery of it all. The intellectualism of the band (or Richey James at least) also appealed but it was only once I got older that I got all the references. Great sound - like Joy Division cranked up to 11... cracking basslines. Genuinely a pretty harrowing album though.
Also Suede (*cough* Paul!

), Portishead...

And back to where it all began, the goddamn Beatles (Rubber Soul onwards, esp the George Harrison tracks

).

From my earlier Goff-ish days - say mid-teens onwards... I sort of got back into Tori Amos recently, she's a bit of a Yankee self-help book reading tampon head at times, but she does bang out a nice choon.

Ooh, another track I remember sticking on quite recently that I hadn't heard for yoinks was "Public Image" by PIL...

Recently dug out Screamadelica from the vaults (whilst looking for something else).

*drifts off again*

James Blast · 15 May 2006, 19:02

Played one their albums this weekend. First time in years....

This is my all-time one:

Bought it, put it aside for a bit, did something else, forgot about it for a while. 6 months later, digging through some records, found it again, put it on ("hmmm - don;t even remember buying that, wonder what it's like?") and WOW.

It's now one of my favourite ever LPs.

Goes to show, really.

yep, happens to me all the time. But after a few listenings I think, ah well, it can go back in the vault for the next few years. so it happened to Siouxie, Bauhaus and Joy Division lately. When the time of a record is over than it's over, I can just recall the memories of past glories by listening to it again.

I recently found What's The Story Morning Glory by Oasis, my first rock album

davedecay · 15 May 2006, 21:09

always amazed at the clarity & quality of Joy Division music.

I forgot about my own CD. I'm burning a ton more copies of it now, to go get them printed and sold.
I have to remember to ask a friend to do a remix or two. They may end up as dance songs, but that's not a problem.

And when it comes to remembering CDs that I like.. well, I remembered that I still had scotty's Rosetta Stone compilation in my CD drive after 3 days.. you can tell I don't listen to CDs much.

All the girls I know own Holy Bible, and say exactly the same. I guess it's one of those Anthem's for Growing Up Goth Girls.

Before the advent of MP3, I was on various Sisters compilations gathered from eldritchboulevard. Now, everything's on the hard drive. The only CDs are the various CD- and DVD-R's holding the back-ups.

Which means, basically, no album is out of listen for more than a month really.

I recently picked up 'Cresta' by The Hollow Men from Amazon, after seeing it mentioned on a football forum of all places. I had it on cassette format years ago, but hadn't listened to the whole album at one sitting for ages. It was a pleasent trip down memory lane.

Another of Choques near misses with fame!

I found an album I'd forgotten about:
Battery 9 - Strop

Afrikaans industrial and bloody amazing. Download low bit rate samples from the sounds link here

with moving, i discovered and listened to a lot of albums i hadn't listened to in a while... felt great to listen to spk, the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud & hybryds again and will be doing that more in the future...

discovered a lot more music that i won't be playing soon again as well...

SISTERS OF THE NEPHILIM · 24 May 2006, 08:56

yes, it was called ' A Slight Case Of Over Bombing'.....the rest is history...

yuija · 24 May 2006, 09:27

Right now I am rediscovering my Throwing Muses collection. Kristin Hersh was really important to me growing up. She screemed enough for both of us, so i didn't have to. Therapy at its best!
