It most certainly is! Beautiful album. I don't have all of his work either. Mostly early stuff.

Have to add XTC - Skylarking.

Got it! Autobahn is certainly up there. I was born in 69, so a tad younger. I was a teen in the 80's...hence the New Wave interest. For my first ten years I was solely a Beatles fan (well The Monkees as well!) but weirdly, when I saw Devo on the show Fridays perform Girl U Want (in 1980), I was ...

Other (somewhat) obscure ambient faves:

David Cunningham - Water

Biosphere - Substrata ...

Cool. Curious, you have a lot of the 80's electronic stuff...Depeche Mode...etc. Surprised you don't have the Kraftwerk, Bill Nelson, and Devo albums...esp. Kraftwerk.

Quick follow up from my "Instead" post:
Back has healed for the most part. Had injured it from lifting something waaayyy too heavy...apparently did nerve damage...but no surgery...r 'n' r and physical therapy. And, no more heavy lifting! LOL!

No longer have the Kanto speakers. Decided to replace ...

No question! I most certainly don't have them all. He is an artist similar to someone like Bill Nelson in that way...always recording and making music. One could argue that the albums are quite similar, but he does vary them enough to put a different spin on occasion. I like his sound though ...

For ambient fans, here are some of my favorite albums by Rapoon (aka Robin Storey ex :zoviet*france:) -

"The Kirghiz Light" - https://rapoon.bandcamp.com/album/the-kirghiz-light

"Dust of Souls" - https://rapoon.bandcamp.com/album/dust-of-souls

"Blue Days" - https://rapoon.bandcamp.com/album/blue ...

Thanks. Not sure yet what the issue is...doctors are testing for herniated disc next week. Hopefully no surgery. Painful as hell. :-(
I love the Chameleons...1st three albums...esp. Strange Times are brilliant. I agree that the new album seemed kind've bland. I also didn't think it sounded all that ...

Instead of the albums of the year post, I figured I would just list what I've been listening to lately. Not sure if it's me, but the onset of winter this year has seemed darker that usual. Perhaps a back injury that I am currently suffering from has clouded my judgment. Anyhow, music-wise I have ...

Thank you for your understanding comments. I lost both of my parents last year and I am feeling older and adrift. Luckily, I have a wonderful wife and family around me. I am searching for my next avenue. Trying to slide as gracefully as I can into the "next stage"...whatever it may be. As the song ...

Be careful what you dream of
it may come up and surprise you
I can't confess my life's a mess
I've come to idolise you
You liken it to walking on hot coals
I'll keep my boots on
Wisen up and fly straight
There's a shape on the horizon
In a hollow horse I'll steal my way
inside your guarded heart
So ...

I, of course, know Whisper to a Scream, but had not heard this track before. I went to an 80's Live concert this past weekend (that also had China Crisis!) and he opened with this track. His voice is amazing and I love the words. I felt like I was meant to hear it at this point in my life. I can so ...
