Oh, and Tom Jones. Tom Jones is AWESOME.

I am leaning towards classic on the Gorkys, because I've been listening to Spanish Dance Troupe lately.

I was actually going to lean towards a Darling Buds or Alarm joke w/r/t Ally's vague statement. But the latter would probably be way uncalled for.

Side two of "Bwyd Time" should be buried ceremonially along with a pile of bootlegs by bands called things like Titus Groan.
Side one of "Bwyd Time" should be cherished forever along with the best of the psych-folk interface.
I was scarred for life by a (now seeming ridiculously simplistic) moral modernity-or-tradition battle over GZM in the dying months of the Major era, and I've never really managed to get over it (though they evolved beyond that long ago). But, lurking back there, I know there are some classics ("Miss Trudy" was a *fantastic* single though a little lost on album). I just have to listen to them again. I've been putting it off long enough.

Sometimes I think they must wonder whether God is playing some kind of trick on them. There they are making the most beautiful records imaginable, and the world just ignores them and makes a fuss of Starsailor instead.

i really liked bwyd time when it came out, and miss trudy and plenty of other bits and bats, and they were really good live. and i remember thinking, 'ohmygod i like a band that are all...wizardy, what am i doing?'
since barafundle though i too have lost interest, they seemed to lose some kind of spark they had. i can't muster any interest in any of their subsequent records and, if i'm honest, i don't listen to their earlier stuff anymore either.

Classic. Everything up to Spanish Dance Troupe is brilliant. They started off a ramshackle group of 14-year-old kids that just made the craziest music they possibly could and somehow morphed into incredible folk performers.

Bwyd Time is a great record and an autumn record.

Hmmm...Bwyd Time is a missing piece in my Gorky's jigsaw.
― yugi ex, Sunday, 27 April 2014 11:17 (eleven years ago)
I had a sudden feeling that I mainly like it so much as it was my first Gorky's album. Coming to it from the other direction it might seem a little... slight? forced?
It has some good songs which are probably not put to good use.

Bwyd Time and Barafundle are the best two Gorky's albums for me.
― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Sunday, 27 April 2014 17:23 (eleven years ago)
Tatay and Barafundle are my two favourites. The 20 compilation would be my favourite album overall though. Those EP's all still sound so amazing to me.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 27 April 2014 20:44 (eleven years ago)
I didn't find them until "How I Long to Feel..." I love that disc with Spanish Dance Troupe and The Blue Trees close behind.

I don't listen to these as much as I used to, but I recently rediscovered Bwyd Time and it's seriously it's own messed up little universe.

I listened to half of it and realized my time is better spent listening to the originals. Tribute albums are generally kind of a drag no matter how well intentioned.
Kept the tracks by Gentle Good, Zabrinski (love Zabrinski), Stuart Kidd, Gulp and Ratatosk.

Someone should've covered "Peanut Dispenser."

aw you'll never hear mine then.
― PaulTMA, Saturday, 30 April 2016 18:29 (nine years ago)
Which is yours?

The Gentle Good's cover is so good.

John Lawrence has started releasing some bizarre music. I really like the first Infinity Chimps LP, but I don't know what to make of this:
