Great evening for some #Astrophotography. Just in the back garden with my Google Pixel 8 on night mode and some contrast adjustments to remove ambient lighting.
No #PlanetaryParade but wide sky shots of Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Pleiades.
#STS70s I’ve been listening in the car so couldn’t comment but loved to hear 25 or 6 to 4 #Chicago earlier.
And the #ELO tracks have been great, must revisit that album (Face the Music).
Great show… cheers🎵🎵😎

Following on from my number two, the overall sound of this track is great but once again the words really work for me… maybe I’m just that way out 🤣.
Unusual video too if you never seen it…
“Life is wearing me thin…”

A 2m20s intro with the usual guitar effects leads into a rock infused song. For me the lyrics hit home which is it why it scores highly. Life’s wasted chances & missed opportunities
“I could’ve been somebody special.”

Opening track from the Six album and it’s a doozy. Catchy, proggy (in album form) with a crazy middle section. This is a track that no other chart band of that era would produce.
These are my Paul Draper signed lyrics. Awesome.

Closer ( hidden track) to a fabulous album. Singalong outro preceded by story telling vocals. Melodic piano and string intro bring us into the main tune. Captivating vocal harmonies in the background . Simple but effective.

Possible the best known Mansun release. With good reason.
When I listen to this I can imagine myself in the middle of nowhere… Chad’s great guitar piece in the middle, Paul’s lyric and vocal are class. The whole tune just works.
#ChooseTheChoons I used to own the 12" of this Eighth Wonder track. Lent it to a friend in the '80s (along with my Wild Boys 12").
Never saw it again...
Prefer this version to the PSB one to be honest...

What a trip… so many styles on this 9 minute song but it keeps you so engaged that it doesn’t feel like 9 minutes at all.
Rock, gentle piano, soaring vocals, interesting effects… what a genius track.
