Name: shooms Member Since: Apr 21, 2004 Rank: 150 Rated 773 releases, average: 4.82 Location: Buried under vinyl, Saaaaaarf Coast , UK Profile: V6-powered gobshite. Please note that my record collection is NOT generally up for sale or trade. Whilst I have bought collections from time to time the vast majority of my tunes have been individually sought out & are therefore treasured, loved & generally cooed over like 3 week old kittens. Please don't email asking if something is for sale or asking me to name a price - if you really want it MAKE ME A SERIOUS OFFER - take into account that I buy music because I love it! Also my Wantslist is mostly a wish-list & somewhere to make sure I don't forget an ID, please send me links to ebay or ask me to make an offer, but don't always expect me to respond. Thanks! Here's how I use the ratings: 1 poor 2 patchy 3 solid 4 strong 5 classic You may notice I don't have any 1's or 2s in my collection - this is because: a) I don't collect shite b) I occasionally go through a spring clean culling brought on by the inability to swing a gnat in my lounge due to vinyl overload. These ratings are of course subjective - they are my personal ratings and one man's classic is another man's overplayed tune. I've loaded about half my collection to Ogs so far & when I summon up the will to alphabetise my collection I'll add the rest... Oh yeah one final thing... any requests for MP3s will be treated with the utter contempt they deserve. Get yourself a pair of decks & spend 20 years digging in 2nd hand shops then come back to me. The answer will still be no. c(o: Keep the vibe, keep the vinyl :o) | |

Lamb - Górecki - 03-Jun-08 06:38 AM
This 12" is all about Gorecki - it's gut-wrenching raw & heart-felt emotion pressed on vinyl... such a POWERFUL tune.
It opens with a simple piano refrain & Louise Rhodes plaintive vocals... this slowly builds & builds until suddenly you are swept away with the fierce beats & full on orchestral sweeping strings, twisting & turning you until finally you are left again with Louise's heart-felt outro vocals.
You cannot listen to this song & remain unaffected by it. My review doesn't do it justice by a long chalk but the lyrics below might...
"Gorecki"
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
Still my heart this moment
or it might burst
Could we stay right here
'Til the end of time, 'Til the earth stops turning
Wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one i've waited for
All this time i've loved you
And never known your face
All this time i've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one i've waited for
The one i've waited for
All I've known
All I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
All I've known
all I've done
All I've felt was leading to this
Wanna stay right here
'Til the end of time, 'Til the earth stops turning
Gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
I've found the one i've waited for
The one i've waited for
The one i've waited for...
Eskimos & Egypt - Don't U Do It! (Remix) - 03-Jun-08 06:24 AM
The A2 mix ('Is Billy coming out to play ?') is quite simply one of the most haunting, uplifting & powerful pieces of music put to wax...
The opening synth melody sounds like it is coming directly from Heaven... an arm-raiser of the highest order \o/.
This gives was to beats & melodies interspersed with the vocals 'Don't U do it !' & 'That's the spirit !' which builds & builds again to an achingly beautiful drop.
There simply aren't superlatives adequate to describe how good this record is...
Sitting Pretty - Jump To The Rhythm - 28-Dec-07 10:09 AM
Cut and paste mashup in a Todd Terry stylee... and none the worse for that, the Marshall Jefferson - House Music Anthem stabs & steals are still as effective now as they were then. Think of Black Riot 'A day in the Life' or Royal House 'Can U Party' & you've got the flavour of this tune.
However a word of warning, that my copy is rather tinny - I am unsure if it's just my battered copy or generic crap production values on this release.
Jump-jump-jump ! Every body !
Donna Summer - State Of Independence (New Bass Mix) - 24-Mar-05 06:24 AM
The no drum mix is the one to go for in my opinion - it's a wonderful semi acapella mix starting with ethno chants & a simple tomtom drum building with an uplifting & warm simple synth dropping to Donna's perfectly pitched & inflectioned vocals & then climaxing with a glorious swelling gospel chorus - spine-tingly good stuff \0/
This record is very dear to me as it was given to me by a very special person in my life.
Sined Roza - I Don't Know What It Is - 23-Mar-05 12:30 PM
Absolutely essential Italian tune - from the opening uplifting synth chords you know this is going to be powerful stuff indeed ;o) \0/
However what most people don't realise is that this is a cover version of Pete Shelley's "I Don't Know What It Is" (http://www.discogs.com/release/22638) - for those that love the Sined version (which is very rare & commands a price up to 50 GBP) the Pete Shelley original is worth checking out for a snip of Sined's price ;o)
