Thanks. Was just about to make another pass through the Bruce Eaton 33 1/3 book on Radio City to refresh my memory about things like that.

Chris co-wrote “O My Soul” and “Back Of A Car” but, in what John Fry describes as “horsetrading,” Chris gave full credit to Alex in return for keeping full credit on two other songs, “There’s A Light” and “Got Kind Of Lost.” Chris later sent a letter to John Fry asking for credit on “those two songs” but didn’t say which, although Andy and Alex knew. All four songs were recorded on an early Radio City demo that went missing.

Both of those last two, all four songs actually, can be heard on the Live At Lafayette’s Music Room album which came out last year.

I think some of those demos popped up on the box set (alongside that concert).

Oh yeah. Wonder if those are the same initial demos that were supposed to have been erased or later ones.

Stevie Wonder - Talking Book / Innervisions.

The first two Magnetic Fields albums feel like this though the later album is perhaps a bit more jaunty. They obviously encouraged this impression by making the CD edition a twofer almost immediately. (And then by having Merritt finally singing his own songs by the third album.)

What about the first two Stooges LPs? genuine q, I don't really know them that well but as a teen I had this compilation that conflated them into one LP which felt pretty consistent.

The second Tindersticks album seems to fit into that scheme. More of the same but not quite as good, one obvious reason being that the sound wasn't new anymore.

Kraftwerk 1 / Kraftwerk 2

The first two Stooges albums feel fairly distinct to me in terms of rhythmic feel, production quality, and even instrumentation (sax on the latter album, some piano and viola on the earlier one).

I always mentally group Innervisions with Fulfillingness' First Finale because the cover art styles are similar.

Another version of this would be "albums you got used to listening to on a single CD but which wouldn't otherwise sound like they should fit together" - for me The Soft Machine / Volume Two

the first two david axelrod albums —song of innocence + songs of experience— fit here pretty well.
bill evans has a couple, but i'm not sure if it's cheating to include them, as they were recorded at the same time and then split up into single lps later. the ones i'm thinking of are:sunday at the village vanguard + waltz for debbymoonbeams + how my heart sings
would also like to mention some curtis mayfield in the form of: back to the world + sweet exorcist (+ arguably even got to find a way)and obviously curtis + roots
and finally, adrian borland and the sound:shock of daylight + heads and hearts

This came to mind last night, though it doesn't fit squarely within the parameters of this discussion: The Cult's Electric and the first Danzig album sound and feel like two chapters of the same story.

I've always felt similarly about Primal Scream's XTRMNTR and David Holmes' Bow Down to the Exit Sign.

How about the One Dove album as a sequel to Screamadelica?
― Mark G, Monday, 9 September 2019 21:21 (four years ago) link
surely the sequel to XTRMNTR is Evil Heat?
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 9 September 2019 21:25 (four years ago) link
XTRMNTR was already kind of a sequel to Vanishing Point.
