Inkubus Sukkubus - Heartbeat Of The Earth

Inkubus Sukkubus -
Heartbeat Of The Earth
(1995) Resurrection

 This was my favourite album when it was released, back in 1995. I think it's a real good album still. I've never liked slow songs, and I don't/didn't like the slow songs on this album either. But I kinda get why there's slow songs here - 14 fast tracks in row would eventually even bore me! I think that's my problem with Inkubus Sukkubus nowadays, the songs are too much alike. Fast songs that sound like every other fast song they've done or slow, boring, songs...  Apart from that this album is really worth checking out!

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Flaunt It

Sigue Sigue Sputnik -
Flaunt It (1986) EMI

Last weeks B.A.D. album triggered my desire for SSS! This album has been among my most favorite records ever since I bought it back in 1986. It has everything; rock´n roll guitar, two drummers, one note basslines, extraordinary movie and TV samples and even commercial adverts between the songs! 7 songs in the same beat and one a bit slower - how could this go wrong? It simply can't! The choice of Giorgio Moroder as producer is also excellent. Moroder and guitars should have teamed up more often!

Big Audio Dynamite - This Is Big Audio Dynamite

Big Audio Dynamite -
This Is Big Audio Dynamite
2CD (1985/2010) Sony

I recently rediscovered this favourite album of my teens. Sony released this remastered and updated two disc edition earlier this year. It sounds fantastic! Check out "Medicine Show", "E=MC2" and "The Bottom Line" - they're all classics! This is almost as good as Sigue Sigue Sputnik!

Grand Magus - Hammer Of The North

Grand Magus -
Hammer Of The North (2010) Roadrunner

Grand Magus continues with the catchy sound they had on both "Iron Will" and "Wolf's Return". And I must say I like it! It's not as good as the before mentioned albums, but it's definately worth a listen.
