Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Eyes of Nostradamus

(The video has a static picture, but a classic song.)

  1. Eyes of Nostradamus is great.

    My favourite Mann album is Angel Station. Two great songs from that album:

    'Belle' of the Earth and Angels at My Gate.

  2. Yeah, I never really got into Mann and I don't even have Angel Station, but still I know these songs well, they're great.
    I wonder how, I don't have them on my computer, never had the album/CD, and never listen to radio! Strange.

    (I have a Mann's greatest, but it seems nothing is included from this album, it must be a label thing.)

  3. OK, I got it now, iTunes UK had the full album, remastered and expanded.

    ... I never listened to a lot of music at friends either, so I can't get over how well I know these songs and don't know from where!
    I guess I have a lousy memory for dates and places, and a tremendous one for music and pictures.

  4. Maybe they played it on repeat in your work place/gym/swimming hall/grocery shop/pub/bingo?

    I'm curious: In the age of Spotify, why would you still want to buy bits from iTunes. Is it sound quality, for iPod use, or what?

  5. I never go out either, that's the tricky part.

    It's happened only a couple times in my adult life I spotted a song on a radio I wanted more of, and that's been in shopping malls or restaurants.

    I like iTunes, I don't like paying once I've decided I like something. I like having it. I like itunes's interface, I'm familiar with it, I have keyboard shortcuts to control it.
    Habits are strong.
