JED... this is for you ... not sure if you'll like it at all

... and I couldn't even find a proper video so it's a mish mash
of photos ... but ... this is (to me) the best song Frankie Valli
and the Four Seasons ever made

You're too kind Mr Q

Check out that bass line!! Fantastic

Love a bit of "northern" The famous Wigan Casino was a little before my time and had closed a few years before I started venturing out in my early teens. The other clubs, however, continued to play northern soul - for which had a special "dance" which was obligatory when strutting your stuff I shocked some friends a few years ago here in Brighton when we went to a Soul night at one of the trendy beach clubs. A track by The Tams came on and I (intuitively) broke into the old "routine". The words "shock" and "awe" sprang to mind

Anyway - not sure why I recounted that. Maybe coz' my feet are doing a weird kind of jig while I'm typing I find it difficult not to want to dance to this!!

Thanks for sharing that Mr Quinn!
* listens to it for the third time *

Pretty impressive stuff! The obligatory pan pipe/flute buskers (God that band get everywhere in the world!! ) made the sound a little "cheesy". But it's still a great, evocative sound and this guy certainly knows his stuff!!


Is he Czech Mr fernando?

Unfortunally no he is Romanian
This is great stuff, as you said, something different from all those hip-hops and so coming from radio all the time now

Rush - Grace Under Pressure

Love the guitar sounds on this album, slashes, licks and solos - a guitarist at his most inventive.

YouTube - Rush - Afterimage (music video)

Story behind the song (taken from the YouTube comments section, but originally in the book Roadshow)

"During our second stay at Le Studio, while recording Moving Pictures, I fell in love with the Laurentian winter. The assistant engineer, Robbie Whelan, a curly-haired, bright-eyed, enthusiastic young Englishman, introduced me to cross-country skiing, and I used to follow him through the snow-covered woodland trails. When we approached a downhill section, I would hear Robbie's whoops of excitement up ahead.

On his way to work at Le Studio one morning in early 1983, Robbie was killed in a car accident. "Afterimage," was written for him." - Neil Peart, Roadshow

You can feel the genuine emotion in the rendition ofthis track. The books a good read too!

you are very welcome Jed ... and what good stuff you gave me

The Sea and Cake- The Biz

Damn Quinn!! New song to me, but really great.

And I still remember Jesamine.

But I gotta ask, why did you write "with utter respect to Ant", what does that mean??

And I'll dig out a handpicked song for you to listen to.

Quinn, I found one from an album I really like very much. It's not metal, in fact, it just the opposite. It's from Erasure, and the album is called Nightbird.

The song is Here I go Impossible Again.

Oggy, Afterimage is one of my favorite Rush songs. It's got weight to it, and even though I didn't know the backstory, what you described is what I felt.

Haunting, yet very beautiful.

God this girl can belt out a song!!!
I'll keep plugging the little gem for as long as it takes.

Incidently, the beautiful song is made even more heart rendering knowing it was written about a dog she adopted in Oz but couldn't bring with her to the UK
