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.)
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.
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.
Eyes of Nostradamus is great.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Mann album is Angel Station. Two great songs from that album:
'Belle' of the Earth and Angels at My Gate.

Maybe they played it on repeat in your work place/gym/swimming hall/grocery shop/pub/bingo?
ReplyDeleteI'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?
I never go out either, that's the tricky part.
