Oh yeah - and I completely agree about the musical aboration that is Reggaeton

I still can't believe that France can produce true metal music, and progressive metal, to be precise. Nice.

Too bad there's nothing from Patrick Rondat on YT to tell you what I mean.

And reggaeton isn't music, it's just rhythmic noise, at best...

It's a song from Anima, their recently released album. I love it.

BTW, it's a video montage, not an actual video released by the band.

Far better than I expected - cheers, Ant. Little bit Dream Theater in there - non?

Yes, they have DT influences, but also their own particular sounds. And on Anima, there are even spoken parts in different languages. Spanish and French among them. It's a heavier album overall. I liked it.

Depeche Mode - Songs Of Faith And Devotion

Prince Buster - Al Capone
Scientist - Dance of the Vampire
Barrington Levy - Poor man style
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the silence

Good choice Duncan

As for me now: Depeche Mode - Violator

I actually went through a Whitesnake phase. I dipped out of Heavy Rock early 80's, (sweaty, mainly ugly blokes) when it became MTV Metal (perspiring primadonnas) (just in time eh?!!)

Until that pesky Steve Vai came along, brought a ton of hairspray and gave it that Bon Jovi (polished) sound

Anyway, one of my faves was Don't Break My Heart Again - bit embarrassing really

Richard Hawley "Cole's Corner"

the bloke used to be in a band called Longpigs...but that
would be hard to find...and then he joined his mate Jarvis Cocker
in Pulp before they imploded in a puff of logic

Got his latest (6th!) album last week, "Lady's Bridge" and on first listening, it's every bit as alluring as "Cole's Corner".

Sheffield's finest!

Am looking forward to "Lady's Bridge"-- he sounds just like me reminds me of Scott Walker and Neil Hannon
