Listening – Ocean Rain

Echo-and-the-Bunnymen-Ocean-Rain

This week I am listening to “Ocean Rain” by Echo & The Bunnymen

Observations after listening: Very orchestral. I like it but I don’t know if it is a sound I would like carried in to their future albums. This is definitely a new sound for them as they experiment.

Listening – The Unforgettable Fire

by

U2-The-Unforgettable-Fire

This week I am listening to “The Unforgettable Fire” by U2

Observations after listening: This is U2’s fourth studio album featuring a new sound for them. More ambient and atmospheric in direction. I wonder how much of the new sound is attributable to producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.

Setting myself a simple goal

by

I think I’d like to try an experiment in the New Year. I think I would like to make a concerted effort to listen (really listen, not just play) to a new LP each week. I won’t set any particular limits on what I listen to, so it might be pop, heavy metal, or classical.

I think I will also watch (and think about, and make notes about) one new film each week. I either watch it on TV, watch it on VHS, or go to the cinema.

And I think I will read one new book each week. Again, anything I like, but one new book a week. And then make notes about the story and the ideas.

I will also start taking notes of what I’ve watched, read or listened too.

I think I will try and select what I will watch, listen to, or read on a Sunday, so that it prepares me for the week ahead of what it will take to complete that week’s goal.
