The Album Review Club - Week #122 - (page 1438) A Black Mile To The Surface – Manchester Orchestra

[journolud]

Tough crowd for @Bill Walker this week - just the 8 voters with an average of 5.75 for Pat Metheny's From This Place.

Still a great pick though and as several people have noted, they like being challenged! I think we've all come to appreciate that being "forced" to listen to an album in the same short time frame is the 21st century equivalent of all those shared moments before video recorders, DVD players and streaming!

That's it for round #3 and by popular demand, I'll be kicking off round #4 very soon. Let's see if you're all still saying that when you've heard what I've got up my sleeve.

Remember that this nomination runs for 2 weeks (until 7th September).

Did you say 2 weeks? Thought it was 2 days…

Check this song out.

Title track from Bruce Hornsby's 1993 album Harbor Lights - brilliant melody and piano from Bruce, and some great guitar and sitar from Pat Metheny.

Great track ,and I like the Hot House album you referred to earlier.

OK, here you go. The band name is the same as the album name.

 

[journolud]

The Dingbats!

Only kidding. First bit references Gang of Four which I’d have been happy with but I’m lost beyond that. Can’t see Gang of Four being your thing

The beat clue was at the bottom of the jpg.lol

 

[Coatigan]

King Swamp?

 

[Coatigan]

Benny beat me to it. Unless the file name is a deliberate ploy

 

[journolud]

Ah well Dave Allen, Gang of Four bass player wS in King Swamp. I’d gone as far as googling him but was drawing a blank. All makes sense now

 

[Coatigan]

I really like what you did there Rob. A well put together clue.

Shame about the file name giving it away.
