Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club • Page 55

Yep never listened to this one. Bristling with excitement.

 

That's a slight exaggeration but I am looking forward to it.

 

Head Cut is the coolest

 

"Arabian Knights" and "Night Shift" are just so good

 

Never heard this, excited to throw this on

 

This is fantastic. Excited to really dig into the details on my second listen

 

Really digging this so far. Lots of wild guitar sounds that really add to the atmosphere.

 

That last song sounds like Goblin

 

I spent a little more time with the Against All Logic record, paying more attention instead of giving it the background treatment. To my surprise, I actually recognized quite a few tracks from years ago like Cityfade, Some Kind of Game, and Such a Bad Way.

Overall, I don’t think dance is ever going to be my go to genre, but I did enjoy this one. Good sample, hypnotic beats and bass lines. Plenty to enjoy.

 

This is such a cool idea! I’m late to the party here but have enjoyed catching up and seeing prior recommendations and everyone’s experiences with these records.

That said…how can I join?

 

@Aaron Mook any chance you can update the OP to help me catch up?

 

I think you just did

welcome aboard

 

I can do this tomorrow morning at work (it's my wedding anniversary and I'm checking my Chorus threads on mobile while my wife is in the bathroom lmao)

 

it's important you do this now and focus on your anniversary later

 

congrats

 

This is such a great album, so glad to have been introduced to it. Faves are Halloween, Monitor, and Sin in My Heart—Spellbound’s a classic too. As I said before, Voodoo Dolly sounds like a Goblin song (the band that scored Suspiria). Really excited to check out their other stuff- they remind me of a post-punk Cocteau Twins type vibe.

 

Yeah, I always feel like Sixousie and the Banshees and Cocteau Twins go hand in hand haha

 

Early Cocteau Twins for sure. That Siouxsie inspired post-punk is prominent in their fledgling days before they were able to draw out their own sound.

This record is great. On my second listen now.

 

OP is updated

 

Was saving this for Halloween and I'm only a few songs in but this is already the correct vibe

 

Feel like I could use more Halloweeny music that's actually good. What else falls in that camp, anyone got similar recs?

 

have you considered bay area punk rock band A Fire Inside?


for real though not at all the same wheelhouse as Siouxsie but I have inextricably tied Pixel Grip to Halloween in my head because you can absolutely play them at a spooky dance party:

 

This rules. I’m so bummed I didn’t listen to this before my roommates and I did our annual “get really drunk and carve pumpkins” night, I would’ve added a few of these songs to our playlist.

 

Yeah this record rules, closing track made me feel like I was about to have a panic attack (complimentary)

 

just reminding to add @Swaddle from above!

also @SteveLikesMusic it's your turn this week!
