Prince of Nothing

I’ve been scouting for albums the past few days, and thought that I would share some of the gems I’ve uncovered:

Goldfrapp released a double live disc back in 2004/2005 recorded during their tour in support of Black Cherry. In my opinion, the first disc is the better performance, recorded at Somerset House in London. You can find a link to it below.

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Intro
2. Deep Honey
3. Human
4. Lovely Head
5. Crystalline Green
6. Train
7. Utopia
8. Tiptoe
9. Deer Stop
10. Twist
11. Strict Machine
12. Pilots
13. Slippage
14. Yes Sir
15. Black Cherry

Next, an extremely rare recording of PJ Harvey performing in support of her Is This Desire? LP at the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, France.

This, once again, in my opinion, is a great recording, because it is an interesting chronicle of her work at that time; the set list reaching just far enough back to the the raw energy of Rid of Me, while incorporating some of her collaborations from Dance Hall at Louse Point, her first recording effort with John Parish. It amounts to a broad and rich survey of her pure electric guitar work to her experimental electronica phase with an ample amount of feedback in the background.

Tracks are:

1. Is This Desire?
2. Joy
3. Joe
4. Civil War Correspondent
5. Taut
6. Electric Light
7. A Perfect Day Elise
8. The Wind
9. Hook
10. Meet Ze Monsta
11. The Sky Lit Up
12. My Beautiful Leah
13. 50 ft. Queenie
14. Heela
15. Down By The Water

Last, but not least: The ever-elusive 2007 LP Bodies Need Rest by alt. rock players, Pleasure Forever.

Sounding more agile and mature than ever, but hauntingly heavy in a condensed 31 minute running time. This album, perhaps, makes up for the more theatrical approach of their beginning days, i.e cut the crap and let’s get down to business.
