Today’s Yesterday Album – ‘ANOTHER GREEN WORLD’ By BRIAN ENO (1975)

Posted on by JL

5 September 2023

Artist: BRIAN ENO
Album: ANOTHER GREEN WORLD
Released: 1 September 1975 – his 3rd studio LP

Pitchfork wrote: “The most remarkable thing about Another Green World, is how a stoic Englishman who showed no interest in the conventional expression of emotion managed to make something that feels so intensely personal. This is the nature of ‘Another Green World’s romance: Not what one person does or says for another, but the bond created between two people bearing witness to something bigger than both of them: Not love but wonder. Brian Eno has done everything from producing huge pop stars to creating tiny art installations to touring with rock bands to inventing ambient music. ‘Another Green World’ remains his definitive album.” Score: 10/10 – Full review here.

TUTV: “Eno was/is one of the original sound-exploring wizards ever, for himself
and as a producer for many others. Ambient music is his favorite playground.

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – Eponymous Debut LP THE FUTUREHEADS…

Posted on by JL

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘The Futureheads’ by THE FUTUREHEADS
Released: 12 July 2004 – The British band first LP

ALL MUSIC review: “On their self-titled full-length debut, The Futureheads turn
the promise of their early EPs and singles into an almost relentlessly playful, lively,
and smart album of zippy post-punk-pop. Even though shades of XTC, the Jam, and
Gang of Four (whose Andy Gill produced the album) jump out at almost every turn
on Futureheads, the band’s chiming, precise vocal harmonies — which sound more
British Invasion than new wave — give their sound a distinctive kick.”
Full review here – Score: 4/5

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: With the speedy guitars, the agitated pace, clever harmonies and amazingly catchy tunes it felt like The Futureheads reinvented punk.

TOP TRACKS: Robot / A to B / Decent Days And Nights /
Meantime / ALMS / Stupid And Shallow

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’ – 4th LP By WILCO

Posted on by JL

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’ by WILCO
Released: 18 September 2001 – the band’s 4th longplayer

ROLLING STONE review: “This is how screwed up the music business is in the early twenty-
first century: Last summer, after completing their fourth and best studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, alternative-country idols Wilco delivered the record to their label, Reprise. The company reacted as if the music was caked in anthrax, throwing the album back at Wilco and arranging for them to leave the label, immediately. ‘Yankee Hotel Foxtrot’ now arrives in stores, intact, on Nonesuch. Like Reprise, Nonesuch is a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner. Essentially, the mother firm paid for the album twice. I would love to see one of the suits explain that to the shareholders…” – Full review here – Score: 4/5

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: Probably their best longplayer (so far). Top-notch songwriting all the way. Fav tracks: Kamera / Radio cure / War on war / Heavy metal
drummer / I am the man who loves you

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘The Difference Between Me And You Is That I’m Not On Fire’ – Final MCLUSKY (2004)

Posted on by JL

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘The Difference Between Me And You Is That I’m Not On Fire’ by MCLUSKY
Released: 18 May 2004 – The Welsh band’s third and final longplayer

ALL MUSIC review: “Working again with sonic wizard Steve Albini, Mclusky offer up their rawest-to-date album with The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire. While
it’s not as catchy or melodic as ‘Mclusky Do Dallas’, the band’s third full-length is just as much
of a thunderous assault. Albini frequently buries the mad screams of Andy Falkous beneath a mountain of scratchy, barbaric guitars, and the band seems, for the most part, more serious than usual…” Score: 4/5 – Full review here

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: To be honest it was several years ago that I listened to this album and it sounds as brutally fresh and as stunningly striking as then. Top rediscovery!

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘The Soft Bulletin’ – By THE FLAMING LIPS (1999)

Posted on by JL

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘The Soft Bulletin’ by THE FLAMING LIPS
Released: 17 May 1999 / The band’s 9th longplayer

ROLLING STONE wrote: “The eccentric Oklahoma outfit Flaming Lips serenely release another baffling, winning, neo-psychedelic recording. Densely textured, awkward but somehow melodic, The Soft Bulletin finds these pop oddballs with their poker-faced humor firmly intact… Their music isn’t, how you say, universally accessible, and the weirdness gets same-y, but no one
else has posited a parallel universe in which the Sixties and the Nineties exist simultaneously, allowing for a peculiarly convincing brand of monolithic robotic swirl.” – Full review here.

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: The Flaming Lips are The Wizards Of Oz Rock creating a fairytale universe with both elves and demons, with good ones and bad ones and
other-worldly symphonies that transfer you to a never-never land full of rainbows…

THREE TOP TRACKS: The Gash / Race For The Prize / Waitin’ For A Superman

* THE GASH

* RACE FOR THE PRIZE

* WAITIN’ FOR A SUPERMAN

TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘Doc At The Radar Station’ – By CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND…

Posted on by JL

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘Doc At The Radar Station’ by CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND
Released: August 1980 / Eleventh longplayer

ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE wrote: “Captain Beefheart once said of his music, “I’m just throwing up / in tie-dye.” If so, then Doc at the Radar Station, released in 1980, is one of the most colorful, and pivotal, records in his singular catalog. Poised on the cusp of a new decade, Beefheart (a.k.a. Don Van Vliet) poured out his innards in Technicolor for Doc at the Radar Station, serving up his most colorful and caustic verse in years on a sprawling, distinctively Beefheartian platter of corrosive avant-rock, jungle-blues squawk, alien-guitar romanticism
and willful, yet often playful, atonality.” Full review here.

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: One of the original voices ever. His vocal and sonic vision on the good old blues was quite innovative, bizarre, and freakish and blood-curdling at times. The Captain & his band still sound like nothing else and about a thousand bands are still trying to copy Beefheart’s genial madness today.
