Latest Obsession

Posted over 5 years ago
These CDs cater to my essential thirst for the unheard and unknown. To me, what an artist doesn't release is probably a lot more interesting (if not as good) than what they do release.Pete Townshend is a good example: I doubt I could sit through "Tommy" anymore but I have many times settled down with the two volume "Scoop" collections for a couple of hours. Andy Partridge is slowly creeping his way into my subconcious. He keeps beating me over the head with his lush arrangements and wicked sense of humor. These collections are like a godsend to me. I keep finding little hidden gems and surprises. I keep getting the same feelings as to when I first experienced the three part "Beatles Anthology" series (to which these collections are very similar- demos/outtakes/studio chatter/nonsense): a sense of wonderment and awe that makes me remember why I love music in the first place.....Highly suggested.
