Fu Manchu: In Search Of...

Fuzz suits these hot, sticky days.

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Down - Nola

These are still my main 2 summer albums  followed closely by Angel Dust, which will be getting a spin tomorrow

I bought the reissue in 99 and loved Behind Space, which I think I had recorded from the Metal Show. The album never clicked with me back then, but I'm surprised at how much of it still sounds familiar. I am really enjoying it now. I don't remeber it being SO folky, which is a nice surprise. I never bothered with anything else by them so maybe I should check out their other 90s albums, from before they turned to the modern groove style.

Subterranean on in the car on the way home. Sounds great as well. Delighted to have revisited this.

Each one gets less like the first one as the albums fly by. Whoracle the last good one IMO, but some like the next couple too. Awful altogether after that, though.

Always great revisiting a band or album previously written off and finding that your opinion has changed. Desaster, Godkiller, Scorpions are among the many for me like that.

I gave The Jester Race a go last night. It sounded better than I expected it to, but you can already hear how much more polished they had become by then. The evil, black metal snarl is pretty much abandoned in favour of something a bit more user friendly  :laugh:

I lasted for a few songs but I needed something a bit gnarlier and threw on the new RFR  :laugh:

The Clash London calling.   
Cro mags Age of quarrel
Metallica st anger
The Ruts, grin and bear it

Insect Warfare -World Extermination
Still kills


Helloween - Keeper 2
John the Baptist - John the Baptist
Stormkeep - The Nocturnes of Iswylm
Iron Maiden - Powerslave

The Stormkeep has been growing on me this past week. Really isnt the weather for it though!
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

That was just my first spin... it was the afternoon and I think my home office was about 26 degrees so definitely not the right atmosphere for it!
