sladesounds 6th May 2015		CD Album Passengers - Original Soundtracks 1 (1995)	I think you are right - the "band/collective" is Passengers even though it is known as a Eno/Bono project and shown in lots of U2 discograhies. There is a bit more information available on Wikipedia. As quoted on Wikipedia, Larry Mullins, Jr. (U2 drummer) sums it up when he says "There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record."
sladesounds 30th Apr 2015		CD Album Blind Melon - Soup (1995)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 21st Apr 2015		CD Album Metallica - Kill 'Em All (1989)	[YouTube Video] The true birth of thrash. On Kill 'Em All, Metallica fuses the intricate riffing of New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Diamond Head with the velocity of Motörhead and hardcore punk. James Hetfield's highly technical rhythm guitar style drives most of the album, setting new standards of power, precision, and stamina. But really, the rest of the band is just as dexterous, playing with tightly controlled fury even at the most ridiculously fast tempos. All Music review by Steve Huey

sladesounds 28th Feb 2015		CD Album Air - Moon Safari (1998)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] Air's full-length debut, Moon Safari, proved they could write accessible pop songs like "Sexy Boy" and "Kelly Watch the Stars." But it wasn't all pop. The opener, "La Femme d'Argent," was an otherworldly beginning, with a slinky bassline evoking Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson and a slow glide through seven minutes of growing bliss (plus a wonderful keyboard solo). The vocoderized "Remember" relaunched a wave of robot pop that hadn't been heard in almost 20 years, and the solos for harmonica and French horn on "Ce Matin La" made the Bacharach comparisons direct. Unlike most electronica producers, Air had musical ideas that stretched beyond samplers or keyboards, and Moon Safari found those ideas wrapped up in music that was engaging, warm, and irresistible.

sladesounds 26th Jan 2015		CD Album Nick Drake - Tuck Box (2013)	What I liked about this box set was the fact that if you had already bought the digipak versions of the album you could buy the box and the promotion posters on their own rather than buying the music yet again.

sladesounds 31st Dec 2014		CD Album Marvin Gaye - The Very Best Of Marvin Gaye (2001)	Whilst acknowledging Gemsfan comment on the production details shown on the cover this appears to be an international release (that was produced in the USA). Web searches show that it was available for general purchase throughout most of Europe, Asia. My copy which has identical USA credits on the back of the case has both discs clearly marked on the matrix as "Made in the UK". I have therefore changed this to an *international* release.
sladesounds 29th Dec 2014		CD Album Lynyrd Skynyrd - (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) (2001)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 24th Dec 2014		CD Album Traveling Wilburys - The Traveling Wilburys Collection (2007)	Thanks greg - will approve this one up now
sladesounds 16th Dec 2014		CD Album Ozzy Osbourne - The Essential Ozzy Osbourne (2003)	[YouTube Video]
sladesounds 15th Dec 2014		CD Album Traveling Wilburys - The Traveling Wilburys Collection (2007)	Can anyone who owns this set let me know where the cat# is shown on this 3 disc set - is it on the spine? The discs of this set shown use the same cat # as the European version that I'm just about to add to the database.
