CREAM OF THE CROP: JULEE CRUISE 'FLOATING INTO THE NIGHT'

By-God, this record is beautiful. Floating into the Night is Julee Cruise's first album released in 1989, described mostly as 'Dream Pop'. She has recorded three albums, but is probably best known for "Falling", the theme song for the TV series, Twin Peaks (she was the Roadhouse Singer). The album was produced and all songs were written by film director, David Lynch, and composer, Angelo Badalamenti. Most of the music was originally recorded for David Lynch's made for cable TV special, "Industrial Symphony No. 1".

CREAM OF THE CROP - NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS 'FROM HER TO ETERNITY'

This is Nick Cave's first album with the Bad Seeds after the split with former band 'The Birthday Party'. Made in 1984 with Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten)(who Apparently achieved his sounds on this album by massaging the strings of his guitar with an electric shaver), Hugo Race(The Wreckery), Barry Adamson (Magazine)and Mick Harvey. After some studio work Cave’s new band made their first public appearance on New Years Eve 1983 in Melbourne, Australia, under the name Nick Cave - Man Or Myth?. The band then briefly called themselves Nick Cave and the Cavemen before adopting the Bad Seeds. 

The album has a cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Avalanche' which he says "I never got over that thrill that someone else has chosen a song and wants to do it. I think Nick Cave’s instinct in choosing that song [Avalanche] to cover was very good because that’s just the kind of song that is made to be torn apart and I like the way he tore it apart. I like the way he went out with it."

CREAM OF THE CROP - DAVID BOWIE'S 'YOUNG AMERICANS'

It's gonna be me - David Bowie by Greased Pig

Every now and then I will post an album that I enjoy immensely, whether it inspired me, made me want to dance, made me want to sing, play the guitar or was that perfect soundtrack for a heartache.

The first Cream of the Crop post is David Bowie's 1975 soul album 'Young Americans'. It has two Bowie songs that I adore, "Win" and "It's Gonna Be Me", which wasn't released on the album until the reissue in 1991. I don't know why he didn't put it on the album in 1975, it's amazing!! (That's the SoundCloud track above)
