Yep Core and Purple are decent albums. Only had Purple on a couple of days ago and it's very very good. I've only listened to any of the other ones a few times and they didn't grab me at all though.


The Cure - Seventeen Seconds

A Forest might be my favourite Cure song. Either way, this album is fucking class. Has that minimal, skeletal post punk sound going on.

It's one of my all time favourite albums, must give it a spin. A Forest is just a special song. 

First song I heard by them, back in the mid-'80s, still a favourite.

Just had it on there myself. A Forest I mean. Unbelievable tune.

I suppose it has to fit here:
Ween - "Quebec"
Untouchable.  Always feels new to me since I didn't listen to it ever until a few years back (though it had been recommended for years) but it has quickly become one of my favourite albums ever.  Literal top 20 albums stuff.  Anyway - it is on again right and it is completely savage.  It does a lot of things and it does all of them right.

I have Seventeen Seconds on now myself. A Reflection is such an unusual opening track, it sounds more like an interlude or outro.

I've been listening to it non-stop all week. It's become a kind of evening ritual now. So good.

I've started dipping into Pornography now as well. It's also amazing, though a slightly different vibe. A different kind of goth.

I had Songs From Another World on earlier. What an incredible album.

My Bloody Valentine: Loveless (remastered from original 1630 tape)

Flawless.

Pornography is top tier stuff, the gloomier the better for me. One Hundred Years, what an opening track and A Strange Day is up there with A Forest for me.

Totally agree, amazing album. I've not heard the remaster though.

There are two remastered versions on the reissue, each sounds identical to me and not too different to the original TBH. A tad 'crisper' perhaps but nothing to get excited about. Hard to improve on perfection really.
