Summer Music

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Good music is good music, and it remains so even when the weather is marvellous/horrible 8)

but some tunes are made for these long sunny days -

Thankee Michael that's the first Sm3 tune I've heard and liked :notworthy:
I think it was that Mr. Boom chappy who gave me problems, a friend gave me his album Spectrum, like for free and to keep, I gave her it back. :D

Black Sabbath is very good summer music. Especially when driving. The knobheads that annoy everyone with banging R'n'B on 10000000 Watt sound systems have got competition! :lol: :twisted:

:lol: fair enough, but I think ATR would annoy me almost as much as the R'n'B/(c)rap/whatever they generally listen to.

I find them invigorating like a cool, sharp breeze Only in small doses. For the Sabbath vibe I try these....

Bit o' 4AD loveliness always goes down well... some Cocteau Twins or Deid Can Dance :notworthy: .

Kraftwerk's good when you're going on holiday (especially if you go the kind of places I go, and you actually are having fun fun fun on the autobahn :wink: ).

Project Pitchfork always work for me in a similar Teutronik way.

Siouxsie - Hyaena for me because that was the only album of theirs I bought at the start of summer. Floodland for the same reason... I always associate the music I own very closely with the time I got it.

Wench's self-titled album was great as well, before I lost it. Seems to be all they've released - like a cross between Delerium and Einsturzende Neubauten with a powerful, deep female vocal. Good stuff.

And what summer choonz collection would be complete without a little James Rays Gangwar/Performance?!?! 8)

I always think of The Sisters as autumn/winter music. See Nine While Nine / Driven Like The Snow

They're more of a springtime thing for me, but that's for the same reasons as boudicca.

Lemme see - "In spring a young man's fancy turns to.... THE SISTERS OF MERCY!!!!"

Wire's Chairs Missing and 154 were two I got in the summertime, so I allas equate them with hot sunny days, Zeppelin III is the ultimate summer album.
