The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

Hoping to have Ry Cooder’s new album Election Special soon - anyone heard any of it, reviews are brilliant.

Don’t know so much of his stuff.
It’s funny, I have a few single Ry Cooder mp3s and love them all. And the soundtrack to Paris, Texas is one of my most favourite things, along with the album. And I love all his Buena Vista/Ibrahim Ferrer(?) stuff. Are you a big fan, Fitzy? What’s a good album to start with? Actually, I have Chavez Ravine somewhere…that’s from about 6 years ago now, it’s excellent.

I noticed it here where it’s available to “sample” if you want:

That’s an excellent website for “trying new music before you buy it” by the way.

Some great 70s synths. Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene4.

Really pale shadow of their finest hour. I got done for speeding listening to this beauty last month.

Speaking of Sinead - is this the best Irish single of all time?

I would plump for either of these two.
