girl anachronism Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Managed to have a listen now, sounds great. Particularly fond of Kitchen Cynics and Les Pelicans, but enjoying it all, it'll sound great with a glass of mulled wine. Good work, everyone!

Old Gold Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Miss Anachronism informs me that these are going pretty fast. Very good news.I'll be putting a small second run down tonight, as well as a couple extra to replace any duds that anyone might have received.Also, If any bloggers would like a free digital copy, please get in touch.

diarmaid Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Got my first listen. Think its cracking. Les Pelicans, Jim Ewen and Mondragon the highlights for me. Oh, and Causey Mounth as well. Any song capable of incorporating haud yer wheesht into the lyrics deserves significant plaudits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any song capable of incorporating haud yer wheesht into the lyrics deserves significant plaudits.Cheers! I can't really take the plaudits for that though as it's a cover (a Violet Jacob poem originally set to music by Jim Reid if anyone's interested). Although I do have an original song which also uses the word wheesht. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just had a listen - some fantastic stuff. Especially enjoyed Dusty Valentino, Oxbow Lake, Foxhunting and Les Pelicans. A few others really stood out as being fantastic but I wasn't familiar with the bands and can't remember which they were. But none the less - awesome work to everyone involved.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Still haven't had a listening opportunity yet (family things).....I'm assuming that Chris's song is 'The wild geese'? If so, I also did a version, for my new cdr, 'Ampometer', as it was my dad's favourite song. I did it as a tribute to him, as he died recently. Once surprised him by taking him to a Jim Reid gig in Stonehaven many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylver Bridal Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Old Gold, is the CD available in the Old Aberdeen Kilau yet? Unless it's already sold out, that is! Also, is it getting played in the Little Belmont St. Kilau? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, is it getting played in the Little Belmont St. Kilau?I think I'll put the next batch into Old Aberdeen Kilau, seeing as there's plenty at the Little Belmont Street shop now.I don't know if they're playing it in the shop. You're probably more likely to hear Pearl Jam, David Bowie and Lightning Bolt on alternating rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Finally got a listen today, and was a happy bunny ( despite the tracklist having KopiLuwak and Matricarians mixed up... might've een my fault!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hokay, there's about 20 of these left at the Little Belmont Street Kilau.I had hoped to produce another batch, but unfortunately I was surprised with a trip offshore for a couple of weeks tomorrow. D'oh. Go get 'em while they're Christmassy.Hope everyone's been enjoying them! Sounds like they've been selling really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxbow lake Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I appreciate Alan violently divides opinion:- “the cat can’t swing” (jazz weekly), “That jumper should simply not be seen on stage” (new york vogue), “NE musical legend spellbinds ecstatic audience with children’s xylophone” (P&J), “If I hear one more tune about a dead Edwardian person or grave yard I’m going to kill meself” Oxbow gazette, etc. but I love his 2 tunes especially the ‘dark’ cynics one. On first listening I’d have to also go for Slyder divider (name?) and joe’s (new version??) track December (much improved vocal, great song). But all very good. Seas starry, pelicans too. Cheers for great covers/design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I still haven't got around to listening to it all. But my mum did, and she said it was a pile of shite except for my one.Mind you, my mum thinks Cliff Richard is better than The Beatles.

oxbow lake Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 The silver bridle's from the end of the harvest is one of the most beautiful tunes ive ever heard. I've only seen the likes of meursault create this much beauty (salt part2). Who are they/him and if this is their own song do they need a roadie!?

MikeyEB Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Finally picked up my copy today, bought one for my mum too! Great songs this year, my picks would be Kitchen Cynics, Les Pelicans, Daemons (love the sound of that guitar Dave), Causey Mounth and I quite like Remembering Needleman too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
