Title: Revisiting the back catalogue
Post by: ralph on Jun 24, 2011, 08:04 PM
After sitting with Circuital for a few weeks it felt like time to go back and listen to the back catalogue again.  So with earphone in place I had all 6 albums play randomly as I worked on the Penski file at my place of work - Mundane Company Pty Ltd, kinda of like a bizarre out of order 'T6' - Ralph style!  :thumbsup:

76 songs, 5ish hours of awesome.  And fittingly the last song to play out of the 76? Yep, One Big Holiday!

Then I went home and played At Dawn.  For some reason thats the one that jumped out and felt right to play. This was my Friday...

Anyone else been going back or are you still in Circuital land?

T6 Ralph Syle!  Love it!

We are always going back......I have a playlist of all of the jacket songs on my ipod that i made for the Lovefest, and that is quite often playing in our house... Sometimes a certain song will come on and I will just play it over and over.  After they did Where to Begin during the Chicago show last week, I couldn't get that out of my head for a couple of days.... Today I was playing Tyrone on repeat...I don't know, sometimes I just need to do that. 

The recent shows with these older gems showing up have really heightened my appreciation yet again of how incredibly magical T5 was.  Ahhhh, what a week!

At Dawn got the full treatment while making dinner tonight.  A fairly elaborate meal means I got through the whole album.  Jim's right; Strangulation is a weird way to end the album.  Weird... but awesome.

it is a very strange way to end an album...to me ttf is a perfect ending...i love how you just have just  listened to itigth and it's kind of a darker place...all you have to is put at dawn in and then it's like a ray of sunshine hits you and it picks up right where ttf leaves off...pretty cool in my opinion.

After listening to the Merriweather recording from last summer and Circuital on repeat last night while ynwa and I caught up over some vino, today I went back to At Dawn and ISM while cleaning and reorganzing my closet.  Made these tasks so much more bearable.  :thumbsup:
