Guest bluesxman Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Quality stuff from the much-underrated Sound Affects. My favourite Jam album! Can't understand the constant reference to All Mod Cons being their best...but then it's a personal thing I guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Yeah, I think it's top. I've heard it described as 'their Revolver', whatever weight you want to put on to that statement! Wonderful band. I was lucky enough to be given a shottie of the box set when I was relatively young, and so heard their entire back catalogue, which was cool! 'Direction, Reaction, Creation' it's called. Now have it on MP3. Some amazing b-sides and cover versions. 'Butterfly Collector' is magic as are the cover versions of 'Stand By Me' and The Beatles 'Rain', a brilliant b-side in its own right. I reckon I would've been a huge Jam fan had I been alive then! They had a bit of everything. Their music spoke for itself, and they also had a bit of rock 'n' roll cool, perhaps aided by their heavy reliance on Mod culture, which I find fascinating.

Still got a vinyl copy of the Snap compilation which I want to update to CD but Compact Snap has stuff missing so it fits a single CD. Never got round to getting the box set!

Steve Temple Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Give it a rest now.Got something against the Rough Riders? Or maybe' date=' like Narc, you disapprove of condensed, 3-minute pop-songs, because you believe music should have [i']meaning . Away and listen to that Volta bollocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Haha, no i take music as having it's value whether it be 3 (sometimes even 2) minute pop songs or 30 minutes long. You should know better. But unlike you i don't go through stupid phases where i think something has merit purely because it is a 3 minute condensed pop song. It actually has to be a good song for me. I don't force myself to say i like things which i don't and which i will tear to shreds in a couple of weeks time. It's just a sad stab at controversy on your behalf.

Also, as I don't own albums by these artists, I like to listen a bunch of different songs from the same movement (in this case the retro-pop movement). The Rough Riders fit with this, tho they may be it's weakest example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I suppose you are just saying you are listening to them, you didn't say they were any good. Nothing wrong with going through phases but it is stupid to disregard anything which isn't part of that phase and to indisriminately like anything that fits the genre.Anyway my list:The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (get it up ya)Hot Hot Heat - Island of the Honest Man (watch out! pop music!)...in fact it's been very poppy today...Hot Hot Heat - Jingle JangleHot Hot Heat - Middle of NowhereM83 - Can't Stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I think you can pick up The Jam box-set relatively cheaply these days, from Fopp and some of these places! If yer into The Jam, it's a valuable addition to the record collection! You'll see the band in a whole new light, particularly Weller.......... NAAAATURALLY!

[/quote']Bollocks, I bet you love a bit of Dadrock.Is that boxset the one that's chronologically ordered, and has a live version of "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" on it? That performance is punk's defining moment (sorry to seem like Punk's Arch-Theorist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Machine Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I can't honestly remember if it's that one! I don't think there's a live version on it! I could be wrong though! It's a massive rectangular shaped white box, with various guitars on the front! Think it's 5 CDs, with the last one being unreleased stuff and cover versions!
