    Simon Travers www.stackhousejones.com Roddy Frame, the Prophets and Brexit. I was a remainer. The night after the vote, I was out at an open mic night on Mutley Plain. I drank Old Rosie cider and struggled to remember my words. Walking home, my sadness was that Brexit felt like divorce. I had my headphones with me, so I found 'Over My Head' by Aztec Camera on You Tube. You probably won't know this song. It's from an album called Stray that came out in October 1990. I may be making this up, but I think I bought that album on a French exchange trip. I definitely remember hearing the lead single 'Good Morning Britain' on the video jukebox they had on the ferry. I put 'Epic' by Faith No More on the video jukebox. I was very rock at the time and heroically hopeless at talking to girls. But 'Over My Head' is not very rock. It's Roddy Frame's attempt at a jazz standard ballad. It's the wrong song on the wrong album; the follow up album that didn't sell as well; the album that in hindsight, comes nowhere close to Hats by The Blue Nile which came out a year before. Yet, it is a part of the soundtrack of my life, a song that in my head signifies divorce. When my mum and dad separated finally the following summer of 1991, my mum said that we should have one more family meal before my dad left home, an orderly retreat.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
