Another fine add to the Club. very good for a first time effort.
Though I'm sure this is not your first time!
And it sounded good. A
* I'm very familiar with Bill Nelson. Well, at least the Be Bop Deluxe days. I was turned on to Be Bop Deluxe by KROQ â FM â Los Angeles. Back then they really didn't know what to play.
And I'm thankful for that. I have all of Be Bop Deluxe on vinyl and CD. Great add. * For some reason this song wouldn't play on my computer. But I'm familiar with this one. Thanks for putting this on the disc... even though I couldn't hear it! Thanks for reminding me I need to add some Warm Jets to my playlist. * Always kind of fonda of Lorde. Nice add. Nice song. * Sleep with Todd and Joe. Really can't go wrong with these two guys. * Soul Coughing has always been on my list. Another nice add! * A Chicago song I'm not familiar with! Like the deep cut-ness of this one. B
* Not a all familiar with Brian Protheroe. Thanks for letting me about him. Will investigate further. * Some of my favorite songs are from this era of Elvis. Again, nice add. * Kevin Gilbert- Another artist I'm not familiar with. Thanks for including this song.* Stevie Wonder is one of those artist that most of his music I don't particularly like. But.. some of my favorite music is by him. It's an enigma, I tell you.
This is one of the songs that I really liked by him. Probably because I didn't get played to death. * Alaska Suite- At first I thought this was one of those quirky Frank Zappa tunes. Well, I guess all of Frank's tunes could be called that.
It grew on me like the moss grows in Alaska. * That Manzanera Feeling sounds Pink Floydy. Not a bad thing though. I've never heard this one before. Thanks for the great effort you put in this disc.
My ears thank you.
slammed and i'd like to piggy-back on this sentiment
steely d turned me on to kevin gilbert and i've been a fan since

So weird to hear that some song didnât play or that there was artifact. I did everything on GarageBand using it to feed one song into another which is why each Side is more or less continuous. Then, exported the entire song sequence to a .wav file and burned that to disc. But, lesson learned. Next time everything will be MP3 on a playable disk. Thanks for feedback; it was my pleasure.
I've had a disc I sent out to Scott that lost a song in the process.
I still try to check each disc I do because of that.
I forgot to mention how I liked your flow of songs. Just like a radio station that flows a song right into the next one.
I do have the option with I Tunes to adjust the spacing between songs. I think I'll shorten the spacing my next go round.

Thanks for the great effort you put in this disc.
My ears thank you.
Interesting that this simulation of the two-sided LP experience starts with a Max Headroom digital stutter!
The Bill Nelson tune sort of set the mood for this disc. New artist to me.
Brian Eno was a lot more familiar. And Phil Manzanera too...where's Fripp? Was on alert for the rest of Roxy Music as I listened.
Didn't expect to like Lorde but I did. Expected to like Soul Coughing and did. Was a bit crunchier than the rest of the mix.
Brian Protheroe was new to me. Dug his lyrics and the Monty Python-esque outro.
I have loved Green Shirt from the first time I heard it, but the solo acoustic version seems drained of the cold menace I liked so much in the original. The additional last verse didn't make up for the missing drum and organ outro.
Now the Kevin Gilbert tune had some edge to it. Another new artist to me. Reminds me of James McMurtry a little.
Did not think there was a Stevie Wonder song I didn't know!
Not sure it's possible to reconcile the CD format with the stop-in-the-middle effect of LPs without resorting to two discs. Tom Petty tried it on his Full Moon Fever album, where he had a short interlude with him describing why there needed to be a pause in fairness to LP listeners with a parrot squawking in the background. Looking back on it from the modern era (when the mere physicality of a CD is quaint) it's adorable, but I'm not even sure later pressings of the CD included that. Gotta admire the attempt tho.
So it's my turn next. Discs are burnt, just need you to pm me your address and I'll let them loose next week.
Side A
* Nice little short intro from Mr. Nelson. Don't know him, like his sound though.
* The way my player software (Media Monkey) presented the CD was as Side 1, Side 2. So I didn't realize the Eno song wasn't a continuation of Photograph. He and Nelson should collaborate
* I have mixed thoughts on Todd's White Knight but do like this selection. Forgot that Joe Walsh was on it.
* EXCELLENT CHOICE of a deep track from Chicago circa 1972
Side B
* I really, really liked the Protheroe, right in my wheelhouse. I explored a little (can't do that in the truck!) and found Pinball which was familiar (RP maybe, an old RPMCC mix?) I now have him on my list of artist's to explore more of. Made my day :)
* I'm a prog rock fan and haven't had the pleasure of hearing Kevin Gilbert before. He's GOOD!
* Wish I had headphones for the Lyle Mays offering, lot of cool layers happening here.
* 801 looks like quite the Super Group. Do you have this on vinyl I'm wondering?
Thatâs the first song on the first album by Bill Nelson, who went on to be BeBop Deluxe. Recommended: Live in the Air Age
Check the youtube of that Chicago tune live at the ranch. The epitome of Chicago, IMHO. Everyone hits their respective marks beautifully.
Iâm the guy who incessantly wanted Pinball on RP. Met Protheroe in London at few years ago after trading email with him for years. He and his writing partner Martin Duncan made some fantastic, creative, fun albums in the early 70s.
Kevin Gilbert is amazing. Check out âThudâ and read up on how Sheryl Crowe was his girl before she stood on his back and became famous. Or see if you can find the video of how he showed up at a Prog Rock convention and fronted a band playing all of The Lamb in front of that discerning crowd. Balls.
Lyle died recently, and itâs a damned shame. His work straddles prog and jazz. This is a potion of a longer tune from his first solo record.
And 801 has a legendary live album (you hear my TNK submission sometimes on RP) and then this subtle studio album with all kinds of greatness on it. Easily one of my desert island discs.
Despite my lack of Hi-Fidelity options I was able to thoroughly enjoy this mix sans Headphones. First time playing a mix on a computer instead of in the truck in the 10 years or so I've been in the club, different experience for sure but a treat actually. At some point in the very near future my next truck won't have a CD player so I'll have to do some upgrades to make the most of my computer listening pleasure. Enough about THAT, onto the music.

Spectacular Debut to the club! Dare I say on a par with Can't Buy a Thrill? LOL we all wish. Look forward to your sophomore effort.
And it doesn't play in the truck. Will have to try another way.
Well I was able to give this a listen over the weekend. Used my laptop with the auxiliary CD drive I use for burning. My laptop speaker were the farthest thing from HiFi headphones. But I enjoyed the ability to look up these unknown artists while listening, which is an experience I can't get while driving.
Feel free to post up your playlist for member review whenever you want. I'll work another playing in before adding my own comments. First experience was most enjoyable, even sans headphones.
Iâm nearly out of regular burnable CDs, but have an entire second wing of the mansion full of blank DVDs. Iâm thinking that I could also burn those as a playable CD?

For maximum accessibility just burn it as a playable CD. A lot of older CD players won't play mp3 either.
Listened last night while making dinner...with headphones. Looking forward to the backstory!
