For the vintage Eau de Parfum:
An initial blast of citrus-with-herbs sets a fresh tone, but soon a dark, brooding rose appears, adding a harsh-floral note that is later amplified by a top-quality...
Not bad at all. It has retained the bits of prior versions and yet there is this distinctive smell that reminds me of Denim Black aftershave. There's the catch, very retro scent but also somehow...
It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...
Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

Lately I've been diggin' this retro synth John Carpenter-esque stuff. This album would've gone under my radar if not for Forced Exposure. Resident Advisor gave it 4/5 stars, frankly I don't know why they withheld the last star unless it was for PCA not including volume 3 in this set. I swear I'm seconds away from busting out the Escape From New York OST, lolz.

Being the obsessive Andrew Weatherall fan that I was years ago, I went through the entire discography of theirs and I was extremely thrilled with the Weatherall-produced track, on this album, 'Trainspotting'. Still, my FAVORITE Primal Scream release is the 'Dixie Narco' EP. Every track is ace.

I have never heard of them (like so many artists that you post). Reminds me of the John Carpenter-esque stuff that Prurient (aka Dominick Fernow) is releasing like 'Time's Arrow'.

Oh cool, thanks for the recommend. I'm running down their back catalog as the first time around I was content with CDR's and mp3's. I'll keep an eye out for Dixie Narco. I luv that they did Vanishing Point as an alternate soundtrack to the 70's movie of the same name. How cool is that? And what a crazy cover of Motorhead!

That Prurient track is cool. When I left off with Prurient it was harsh noise. Seems the John Carpenter style stuff is trending. John Olson from Wolf Eyes is doing Moon Pool & Dead Band (Carpenter-esque), Andy Votel's new project Xian Orphic is like a mix of Klaus Shultze (Ash Ra Tempel, Tangerine Dream, etc.) and John Carpenter.
Heard a Belly song on the radio this morning (who plays them anymore?) and got in the mood for some rare Tanya-led Muses (firmly camp Kristin here usually!).
Been listening to a lot of Pet Shop Boys for the last couple of days (I go through these PSB phases), the new album has some highlights (the track 'A Face Like That' is fantastic) but their single which is sort of okay, has three wonderful B-sides, one of which is addictive...
