Hey, David! Absolute honor to have you participate in this thread. The Poe poem was an added bonus. In high school, I thought I could impress the girls by memorizing some shorter poems. That poem was one of them! As you read it, I was a little shocked how much I have forgotten, but it was a nice trip down memory lane. All of your responses are fabulous and I am proud to add you to my Sleep Disorders playlist!

Brilliant Mark. Glad you enjoyed it. Poe, eh? Great memories.

[@vinylmartini3377]

Great choices David. I’ll be looking out for that Generator album. Cheers.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Tread carefully Jack. VDGG are an acquired taste. I love them, but they certainly sounded strange to me when I first sampled them.

Hi David! I have that Propaganda album. I can’t believe that price you mentioned of over 80 quid for an original. Claudia Brucken’s outstanding! Still doing shows. ZTT!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

I'll be chasing down that album. Maybe pick it up somewhere in the Boston area, 2025? 😅

[@alltheworldsastage899]

Hey David! I do not have any of these, and have never seen 'Inception', so I am a complete loss. I've never really given Van der Graaf a chance, but I'll seek out the one you showed. Cheers!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Hi Steve, I've just advised Mr Martini to tread carefully with Van der Graaf. They take a bit getting into, but very rewarding once you get it.

I have Propaganda's Secret Wish LP. A Dream Within A Dream is top shelf! I saw inception, but I guess I didn't pay attention into the music.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Dammit! Another one who has 'A Secret Wish' on vinyl!

[@EmbryonicRobot]

@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 I almost hate to tell you this, but I have a minty copy from a thrift shop: $1.99 (no tax).

Can’t beat a bit of ZTT❤

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Indeed. Been meaning to ask, but where do you shop for your vinyl?

[@gavaxemanspins]

@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 locally vinyl and vintage Wolverhampton- mod lang in Ludlow - white rabbit in Shrewsbury market- Jude’s in Newport - but mainly in record fairs - favourite is the Stratford ones on bank hols and just been to a great small one in the Malverns - good record shop there too called discovery - as you can tell I’m not at all obsessed!

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

@@gavaxemanspins Gav, You're worse than me! I know the Shrewsbury and Malvern ones. I should plan a day out at some of the others!

[@gavaxemanspins]

@@davidatkinson-lifematters4826 mod lang is a really nice one and Ludlow is a nice town

Chapman Whitney Sleepwalkers. Couldn’t help myself. Sorry.

[@davidatkinson-lifematters4826]

Don't blame you. 😊 I saw them live back in the day, and have a couple of their albums. That Roger Chapman voice takes some getting used to though!

[@skewiff11]

I was always a fan of Family, who I saw a couple of times, Never saw Streetwalkers, but have albums and truthfully love his voice.
