  1. http://www.brooklynvegan.com/files/2016/03/kidsticks2.jpg British singer/songwriter Beth Orton has released her seventh (!!!) album today. I remember first hearing of her through her guest appearances on early Chemical Brothers albums, as well as her own albums 'Trailer Park' and 'Central Reservation' from the late '90s, both of which are excellent. Her last couple of albums, for me at least, have been a little bit boring, so it's nice to see this album is something of a reinvention, as it's been co-produced by Andrew Hung from F*** Buttons. I've been playing 'Moon' and '1973' a lot which were released ahead of the album, but the whole thing is fantastic on first listen that it's hard to really pick out a favourite or two. 1. Snow 2. Moon 3. Petals 4. 1973 5. Wave 6. Dawnstar 7. Falling 8. Corduroy Legs 9. Flesh and Blood 10. Kidsticks SjlHOpAzjxM axdhdiQQejc Edit: Tiny grammatical error - nothing major :lol:
  2. It's slightly better than 'The Balcony' as a whole, but I can't blame you for that as the new Flume album is even better than I expected. The new Beth Orton and Death In Vegas albums are what I plan on purchasing as they both sound like the best material either act has put out in over 15 years.

    How far off a million is it, just out of curiosity?
  4. 'Purple Rain' repeaked at #6 (original peak was #8) which was probably helped by very little of his musical output being on streaming services (except for Tidal I think?). As for Bowie, 'Heroes' repeaked at #12 (original peak was #24). 'Changes' (#49) and 'Suffragette City' (#194) also charted for the first time too. But for an answer to your original question, I think either 'Stairway to Heaven' or 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin might repeak if either Jimmy Page or Robert Plant were to pass away. The only other one I can really think of is Dolly Parton ('9 to 5') maybe going Top 40 finally. I would've said 'Anarchy in the UK' by The Sex Pistols too, but I think more people would opt to buy/stream 'God Save the Queen' now that I think about it.
  5. Was very surprised a thread hadn't been created for this... Thought I'd do one anyway. Tracklist: 1 - 7 2 - Twice 3 - Soundcheck 4 - Postpone 5 - Anything 6 - Glasgow 7 - Oxygen 8 - Emily 9 - Red 10 - Heathrow 11 - Outside Didn't think too much to their debut (it was alright, nothing too special), and this seems to be more of the same. Seems to be getting slightly better reviews though... ACLnXD-lxuw Ibv5N70ncsk
