The Stranglers - No More Heroes (1977)

Ray Wylie Hubbard - The Grifter's Hymnal (2012)

Gotta love these lines from Ray Wylie Hubbard in the song "New Year's Eve At The Gates Of Hell":

"Now I know I’m funky and strip bar dirty 

And I like a Les Paul through a Vox AC30 
There’s something about a lipstick pickup 
Plugged right into a Blond Tremolux 
But I guess I deserve to be burned alive 
Since I pawned my ’59 ES 335 

And sure I drank a lot of gin and tonic 
But I never threw away my Panasonic 
I kept that turntable through my divorce 
Playing Neil Young and Crazy Horse 
Drunk out of my mind singing Tonight’s The Night 
It was as lethal on vinyl as China White..."

Its pretty damn good!

Yes? I've been on the fence about ordering it or not after getting the email notification. I haven't listened to the other Atoms for Peace release, and was wondering if I should order both while I'm at it. How would you describe the genre, the sound, to a newbie? I have all Radiohead releases, and my musical collection ranges pretty varied, so am open to different things...

Awesome Horace Silver album!! Going to be picking this up on vinyl in the near future.

Still haven't heard that Atoms for Peace record yet.  It seems I need to check it out.  I was on the fence slightly, but having almost a whole page of this thread praising it has removed any hesitation I guess. 

Now playing:

A lovely album consisting of traditional pop standards with an orchestral backing. The songs sound like they could very well be from an album recorded in the 50s, but the difference is that this album was recorded on analog tape in the early 80s and sounds spectacular (I'm not saying recordings from the 50s don't have good sound quality, many of them are reference quality in my books, just saying this album sound really, really good). I think I'm very picky when it comes to vocals but I believe this album is a must hear for anyone who is a fan of female vocals even if the musical style isn't quite up your alley. The version I have was mastered purely in the analog domain before A/D conversion which likely plays its part in the overall sound quality of the disc I have, but I would assume that any other release out there should sound really good as well unless they've been really butchered in remastering.

I would recommend checking out the Wikipedia article for those who are interested but not previously familiar with the album.
