I was just confronted with something again from April 1986. Guy Segers (Univers Zero, which was a big one for me ca 1983) overdubbing bass on something we did. It was pretty f**king good, we had a whole thing going by this time. This was the month I mounted a show at the War Memorial Opera House above MOMA with some of the same personnel. Film, light show, the whole shebang. We provided the audience with LSD.
I was a bicycle messenger from 1983 through to 1990 with most of a year off 87-88 from getting killed on it.
Actually I got fired around then in '86 so I had 3 weeks, somebody gave me money to do that show.

I made as much music as I could, with a kind of tunnel vision. I remember Cyndi Lauper and a couple of things. Video Killed the Radio Star in the 1980s iirc.
I didn't care a lot what Yes or Phil Collins did by then. Fred Frith OTOH...

Phil Collins' greatest moment for me during the 1980s was playing a wrong chord on piano when he was on stage for Live Aid and being watched by maybe half a billion people...

I had something cromulent to say but the Collins chat has wiped me out...

..though I would blame(?) Big Generator for me giving up on Prog and searching out new stuff to listen to. Maybe I was bored anyway (what 18yo listens to fecking Alan Parsons anyway...

) but it seemed the last straw.

I'm not sure what you mean ... This isn't a worst album discussion. It's a WTF were they thinking when they did xxx.

Tomaeto, tomaato. Point was, I mistook the title

A Silver Mt Zion's dance music excursion.

"Hang On To Each Other" I think it is.

Oh, and Wolves in the Throne Room's "Celestite." Wasnt really expecting an all-electronic dark ambient album from a (seemingly) singularly focussed Black Metal band.

Oh yeah...

I guess in a similar vein was the Low remix album, Owl. A couple of worthwhile treatments (PorterRicks) but then... Tranquility Bass Dance Party Remix???

I have the ultimate hot take. Please don't hurl cheeseburgers at me. But I couldn't see anything essential in this album; it DID NOT make Elvis come back from the dead!

Oh! Oh! I did! Tales of Mystery and I Robot. Great albums. He lost me after those, though.

A general 'WTF' moment for me: When my local FM station, which started out playing whole sides of albums and lots of other non-mainstream stuff, started playing Foreigner and the like. I. FECKING. HATE. FOREIGNER. It was the beginning of the end of my listening to CHOM-FM.

She was still hot in 'Grumpy Old Men.'
