Prog Synch Listen: Budgie - Friday10th August @ 9pm

[Nancy]

Burke is several different singers trapped in one small body.

[C]

Ooof.

You're not wrong brother

[pcqgod]

It's not a proper Budgie album without some pensive, acoustic ballads.

[kath]

They had their own unique sound

I always thought it was a shame that the press compared them to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin

Bloody nonsense





.

easy for the press to do that. lazy. heavy crunch = gotta be sabs-like. range into acoustic numbers = gotta be zep.

it's just another way of saying they're derivative. i mean, sure, it's fine to talk about diff threads in a band and what they might remind you of... but not if it's a write-off, ya know?

Love them all.

They are little gems of beauty

Zoom Club - a monster of a track






.

[pcqgod]

Okay, "Zoom Club" is one of my very favorite Budgie tracks. Slow build up intro into the big thudding riffs is a thing of beauty.

[Spock!]

I love the little acoustic tracks they throw into their albums

Great stuff





.

Breaks up the album well, good contrast.


Am liking the intro of Zoom Club very much.

[kath]

what is perhaps the simplest acoustic ballad budgie has ever done is my all-time fave. "you know i'll always love you"... snifffffle.

listen to this zoomin track, my lordddd, kickin ass/arse in so many diff ways, what fantastic gweeeeeeetarrrr

[C]

That crosscut saw thrashing from Tony -awesome

[C]

ya ya ya. this thing just gets up and gets wicked

[Nancy]

J/J, they started branching out in different directions after this album. Still retained a lot of heaviness but things got more varied. If I could recommend only one of their albums that I think you'd like best it would be Bandolier, the one that follows this one in the catalog.

[Nancy]

Tony Bourge is a god. Period.

[kath]

BLOODY MARVELLOUS!!!!

my feetses pounding holes in the floor.

[Spock!]

Great jam!


I guess that some of you (C!) have seen Budgie live - presumably fairly awesome?
