A Decade Ago

I do like a good reminiscing session and I'm not the only one Scarlet and Jon do too. They would like us to trudge through our past posts from 10 years ago pick one and repost it.  Well, here it is from a decade ago. I haven't added a link because it will give the game away for those wanting to play.


Guess The Album From The Review

Track 1 Not the best way to start an album in my opinion. A lot of silence, when noise did start, it's very random, what seems like a walrus laughing and the tills from Are You Been Served can be heard.

Track 2 A bit like Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor in the way all the tracks merge into each other, but unlike Madonna's album there's no Melody, tune or glitter ball! There is a lot of experimental style wowing with synthesisers, but nothing to get your knickers wet. It reminds me a little of my school drama days when we had to meditate and pretend to be a tree. There is also some random helicopters in there.

Track 3 Very promising start with the bell of Britney Spears Hit Me Baby One More Time kicking off the track, unfortunately this is the only good bit out of the 6min 30 sec, and it soon descends into what sounds like the theme tune of Prisoner Cell Block H. (Which for anyone too young or who isn't gay it's an Australian soap set in a women's prison, where the set was wobbly.

Track 4 Some lovely piano work which is soon ruined by the sound of a lady who must have been in great pain by the sound of her wailing, perhaps she was in the same female prison as the above mentioned perhaps she her head jammed in the steam press manned by Bea Smith.

Track 5 Sounds like the theme tune to Are You been served "Ground floor perfumery, stationary and leather goods wigs and haberdashery kitchenware and food going up" Oh Mr Humphries! Best track on the album.

Track 6 Begins with some churchy music, then some bluesy sax which suggests to be an album my dad would like, very laid back, no beat, can't dance to it, you can't even tap your bleeding foot to it.

Track 7 sounds like this.When I was 8 years old I was given a stylophone from my Aunt Jess

Track 8 Sounds liket the theme tune from The Likely Lads.

Track 9 Clearly wanting to go out on a high they've brought al the previous albums elements together so the ringing tills, the howling lady, the lounge music are all back for an encore.

On the whole it's more of a journey perhaps an acid trip for me but interesting.
