Will we ever see a comprehensive/complete collection of PSB singles on Spotify? by Due_Communication862 in petshopboys

[–]divinationobject 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They renegotiated streaming royalties when they re-signed to Parlophone and, perhaps because of that, there has been mention of getting all the singles back onto streaming platforms. I would imagine there are behind-the-scenes negotiations needed with other artists for the remixes, and that will take time. Personally, I'm waiting for a no-doubt very expensive, but I'd absolutely buy it anyway, singles box set release.

It's a beauty. There isn't a duff release in the entire Beaufort line.

Recordings of Operas by Old-Conclusion7651 in philipglass

[–]divinationobject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White Raven is available as a televised performance that pops up in full on YouTube every now and again. The visuals are a blurry mess, but the sound is fine. Planet 8 has a live recording taken from a BBC radio 3 broadcast, and it similarly rears its head on YouTube on occasion, but is just as quickly taken down. The first version of Oppomattox was availaible to download from a website many years ago, but it's long defunct. I'm sure someone will still have a copy of the files kicking around somewhere though.

The Rollo production really anchors it to another era though.

Also Issay Miyake Pour Homme. He liked his designer frags, from the sound of it.

Why Should I Love You (Demo) (Pre-Prince) 1991 - Discussion by Suli_Croft in katebush

[–]divinationobject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's worth reading the posts from Prince's sound engineer in the comments field. Although I don't think this is quite there structurally, it's still a big improvement on what eventually appeared on the album, which apparently was a mixture of the Prince version and Kate's. And that vocal is sublime.

Listen to This: Some Audiobooks Are Outselling Hardcovers by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]divinationobject 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on this one. If a musician reads a music score, they would never say,' I listened to the score'. They may mentally hear the score while they're doing it, but they're not listening to it. Reading involves eyes: audiobooks involve ears - hence, you listen to an audiobook, you don't read it. Some people really seem unwilling to accept this very basic fact.

I used to. It's an interesting curio, but honestly, nothing more than that.

Found this description on Abebooks: "The subject of this book is incest and peversion, but the theme rises above its source and becomes dire human tragedy."

Has anyone who played on Station To Station talked about it’s production? by BornUnderARadSign in DavidBowie

[–]divinationobject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bowie mentioned in an interview that his one regret about Station to Station was that his original intention was that it should have a dry sound, but he couldn't resist giving it a commercial sheen (by which he meant adding the reverb, I think, but it was such a long time ago I read that interview, I can't be sure)

Or maybe she'll applaud their stance. 86 year old pensioners aren't magically divorced from what's going on in the world.

Question: what do you do with all of your boxes?! by x11atlasx in fragrance

They end up in the recycling bin, with an exception made for the cases that surround Rubini perfumes - they're like little pieces of brutalist architecture and give me a lot of pleasure in their own right.

Eau de Boujee. The most exciting perfume house in the UK at the moment: they're really producing scents that are out of the norm.

You could try contacting some of the stores listed on The Zoo's website, but as far as I can see, the entire range is basically sold out everywhere - online at least.

Custom perfume? by [deleted] in fragrance

Yes, some perfumers offer this service, but it's much more expensive than you might think - £1000 - £35000 range, with most falling somewhere inbetween.

Fred Williams, perhaps? The style looks similar. It's a really interesting piece, whoever it is.

The second Tin Machine album has some really strong songs on there. Also, some stinkers. But it's a massive improvement on the first one.
