This album is surprisingly good. What are other album that you

6 or so years ago, I hated "post-rock" because all I heard was crescendo-core shit like mono or explosions in the sky. Then I listened to some Tortoise and realized "Hey, there's some pretty great stuff with this label."

Why is it surprising? Pleasure principle is a masterpiece, but the two prior albums were also great.

Why was it a surprise? What was the prejudice?

Right. It was surprising because I used to dismiss anything that was under the New Wave, 80s label (mostly, I really enjoy Talking Heads).
Also I didn't know he had a band before going solo, gonna check it out.

At first I dismissed Thomas Dolby as another One-Hit Wonder.
Then I heard the rest of his first album. The 2009 remaster/expanded edition is worth owning for anyone who is a fan of synthpop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ad0fvaHG3g

Why does p4k hate Gary so much? Doesn't he check enough boxes on their influential list?

Basically half of Springsteen's famous albums. Shit's actually incredible.

I didn't think I liked soul music, but I guess I love it. 10/10

Not sure what to make of that. To me it's one of the most creative periods in rock music history

You'd like early 80s new wave then. Look for albums from ~78-84 for best results

Pleasure Principle
Telekon
Replicas
The Golden Age of Wireless
Organisation (OMD)

so many to try

I've always loved Pleasure Principle. I found it in my uncle's records and have been a fan ever since.

I also really like The Shortwave Mystery.

Dance and Berserker are the true underrated Numan albums

>>73768311
Soft Cell are pretty good too

Dance is pretty good, Berserker is cringe. There are a handful of good songs after 1983 but no solid albums.

Never heard of these guys and I'm a pretty big fan of the genre. Thanks, anon.

If you like this, check out his contemporary John Foxx. Gary and him had a mutual admiration for each other. John had some wonderful, minimalist, electronic tunes that are often overlooked. Metamatic was a great album

>>73766338
That album is beyond words... every damn song is so good it's ridiculous

Thanks for the recs, guys

I just thought it would be too late to get into them, Like how it's edge gets softer with time.
But I found a surprisingly catchy and entertaining album.

When I was a young man, I always thought that I'd be able to wear eyeliner and regard a glowing pyramid with suspicion. Now that I'm older, I'm not so sure.

This is a really late reply, but no problem. I love that genre, and I think Signals From Afar is a masterpiece.

Hope you enjoy it.

Not that guy but Soft Cell are goat. Non stop erotic cabaret is one of the best albums ever.

Anyway, pic related for me. I fucking hated shoegaze before this album, now it's one of my all time favorites.
