TheJudge 27th Apr 2019 | | CD AlbumThe Isley Brothers - The Motown Anthology (2009) | I would disagree, in that the rim-text shows only that Motown owns the rights to the recordings, and that all other credits are to Universal (or, to be preceise, 'Universal-Island').

TheJudge 17th Sep 2018 | | CD AlbumCinerama - Disco Volante (2000) | Sometime in about 1999, the legendary John Peel set David Gedge a challenge: "Why don't you write a song using the phrase 'Your charms'?".
Not long after, Gedge did. He came up with this absolute belter of a song:
Your Charms:

TheJudge 2nd Jul 2018 | | CD AlbumThe Orb - No Sounds Are Out Of Bounds (2018) | Having listened through twice, I can't say that it's that special to be honest. The last five tracks are pretty strong (although not in 'classic' territory), but the first seven sound way too much like Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, which was, let us remember, 27 years ago.
Funnily enough, the instrumental versions sound much stronger throughout.
|
TheJudge 25th Jun 2018 | | CD AlbumThe Orb - No Sounds Are Out Of Bounds (2018) | I'd forgotten that this was coming out. Ordered tonight, along with the instrumental CD.

TheJudge 21st Jun 2018 | | CD AlbumGenesis - Turn It On Again...The Hits (1999) | I've added it as a secondary cat#.
Also, this is the Australian release (it says 'Printed in Australia' under the barcode, and the barcode itself is different from the UK/Europe release), so I've changed that over.
|
TheJudge 14th Jun 2018 | | CD AlbumSoular - Time And Space (2004) | Could also be the release date.
Could, of course, also be both...

TheJudge 10th Jun 2018 | | CD AlbumThe Who - The Who Sell Out Deluxe Edition (2009) | Eh?

TheJudge 24th Feb 2018 | | CD AlbumKiss - Destroyer | All entries go live as soon as they're submitted. You may be seeing (or, rather, not seeing) a server caching issue. Certainly nothing sinister going on.

TheJudge 19th Jan 2018 | | CD AlbumLove - Forever Changes (2008) | Shouldn't this be listed under 'Rhino'? Or 'Upfront'?
|
TheJudge 22nd Dec 2017 | | CD AlbumKraftwerk - Ultra Rare Trax | I don't think it's quite as clear cut as it is with the 'Meccano' one. These are unofficial remixes of KW tracks rather than the originals. I don't have this one, but I have the URT CD of remixes of The Orb: ORB 1

TheJudge 22nd Dec 2017 | | CD AlbumKraftwerk - Meccano (2003) | Bootleg.

TheJudge 2nd Oct 2017 | | CD AlbumFrank Zappa - Civilization Phaze III (1994) | Any chance you could add the front of the digipak to replace my image with the sticker on?
Done
|
TheJudge 16th Aug 2017 | | CD AlbumJohn Entwistle - Boris The Spider (2001) | If we didn't have them, we'd have a lot of entries placed under the country of manufacture. Discs intended for international distribution are manufactured in only one or two countries (e.g. NL), and it's the country of release which concerns us here.
|
TheJudge 30th Jun 2017 | | CD AlbumMuireann Nic Amhlaoibh - Ar Uair Bhig An Lae · The Small Hours (2013) | Her name would probably be Anglicised as 'Maureen MacAuley' ('Nic' being the female counterpart to 'Mac').

Update: I've now listened to it - it's a beaut!

TheJudge 18th Dec 2016 | | CD AlbumThe Orb - Cow / Chill Out, World! (2016) | I've listened to it twice now, once on ordinary speakers and once with cans, and I have to say that it's a good, solid album - perhaps their most cohesive purely ambient outing for over twenty years. There's very litle which could be dismissed as 'noodling' on it.
|
TheJudge 16th Dec 2016 | | CD AlbumThe Orb - Cow / Chill Out, World! (2016) | Composer credits are a bit confusing on this. At the top of the inner (image# 1171592) it says that it's all composed by Paterson and Fehlmann, but further down it gives Paterson, Fehlmann, Roger Eno and Martin Glover (aka Youth). There's nothing to indicate which tracks fall under the one set rather than the other.

TheJudge 10th Dec 2016 | | CD AlbumSpirit - The Collection (1991) | "The first four Spirit albums were last released by Ode, Epic, CBS ten years ago (1996)...
Erm, that's 20 years ago, Lee... ;-)
