XTC: This Is Pop 2017 mp4😎

XTC: This Is Pop is a 2017 documentary film directed by Charlie Thomas and Roger Penny about the English rock band XTC. It is focused on the group's musical evolution over the three decades they were active and includes new interviews with XTC guitarist Andy Partridge, bassist Colin Moulding, second guitarist Dave Gregory and drummer Terry Chambers. Archival footage, animations, and specially shot sequences are also featured. The title is derived from the 1978 XTC song "This Is Pop", which Partridge wrote as an attempt to define the band's aesthetic before rock critics could.

Leftfield - Leftism 2017 Remix CD (only) Flac😎

* As I posted the album on the last post, I decided to post the remix version from the 2017 double CD version, I don't have both cd's in Flac, I only saved the Remix album as Flac, which is the whole album remixed, am sure many will enjoy and find this an interesting listen. I believe it was also issued as Leftism 22, also in 2017. *

1977 - Culture - Two Sevens Clash (40th Anniversary Edition) (2017)

1977 - Culture - Two Sevens Clash (40th Anniversary Edition) (Flac)

40th Anniversary Edition, expanded to include 12" disco mixes, DJ cuts and dubs! One of the masterpieces of the roots era, no album better defines its time and place than Two Sevens Clash, which encompasses both the religious fervor of its day and the rich sounds of contemporary Jamaica.

Avowed Rastafarians, Culture had formed in 1976, and cut two singles before beginning work on their debut album with producers the Mighty Two (aka Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson). Their second single, "Two Sevens Clash," would title the album and provide its focal point. The song swept across the island like a wildfire, its power fed by the apocalyptic fever that held the island in its clutches throughout late 1976 and into 1977. (Rastafarians believed the apocalypse would begin when the two sevens clashed, with July 7, 1977, when the four sevens clashed, the most fearsome date of concern.) However, the song itself was fearless, celebrating the impending apocalypse, while simultaneously reminding listeners of a series of prophesies by Marcus Garvey and twinning them to the island's current state. For those of true faith, the end of the world did not spell doom, but release from the misery of life into the eternal and heavenly arms of Jah. Thus, Clash is filled with a sense of joy mixed with deep spirituality, and a belief that historical injustice was soon to be righted.

The music, provided by the Revolutionaries, perfectly complements the lyrics' ultimate optimism, and is quite distinct from most dread albums of the period. Although definitely rootsy, Culture had a lighter sound than most of their contemporaries. Not for them the radical anger of Black Uhuru, the fire of Burning Spear (although Hill's singsong delivery was obviously influenced by Winston Rodney), nor even the hymnal devotion of the Abyssinians. In fact, Clash is one of the most eclectic albums of the day, a wondrous blend of styles and sounds. Often the vocal trio works in a totally different style from the band, as on "Calling Rasta Far I," where the close harmonies, dread-based but African-tinged, entwine around a straight reggae backing.

Several of the songs are rocksteady-esque with a rootsy rhythm, most notably the infectious "See Them Come"; others are performed in a rockers style, with "I'm Alone in the Wilderness" an exquisite blend of guitar and vocal harmonies. One of the best tracks, "Get Ready to Ride the Lion to Zion," is a superb hybrid of roots, rocksteady, and burbling electro wizardry; its roaring lion (created who knows how) is a brilliant piece of musical theater. "Natty Dread Take Over" twines together roots rhythms, close harmonies, and big-band swing, while even funk and hints of calypso put in appearances elsewhere on the album. Inevitably, the roots genre was defined by its minor-key melodies, filled with a sense of melancholy, and emphasized by most groups' lyrics. But for a brief moment, roots possibilities were endless. Sadly, no other group followed Culture's lead, and even the trio itself did not take advantage of it, especially after parting ways with Gibbs. When Culture re-emerged in the mid-'80s, they swiftly moved into a reggae lite/world music mode a world apart from where they started. Thus, Clash remains forever in a class all its own.

Just to back up what reb had been saying about thankyous.

Looking at my last 9 posts and ignoring comments from reb and concha, there have been 245 downloads and 13 comments. For example, Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again had 30 downloads and no comments.  The problem is not just a lack of common courtesy - a thankyou takes seconds to post - but it makes it difficult for the posters to know what music we should focus on. Did the people who downloaded Michael Kiwanuka like it or hate it? I have no way of knowing whether to post similar music or assume, because of the lack of comments, that this wasn't popular, despite being downloaded 30 times.

We want this to be a community where music lovers enjoy what's being shared and join in with comments. If it's not a community we are just wasting time selecting and preparing music for it to be just snatched thoughtlessly. 

Take heed of what reb's been saying. If things don't get better, there will be no reason for Vibes to continue.
