I had a nice long post written about how awesome Queen are and how this movie was one of those that I always ended up watching when I was kid after taping it off TV. But I decided against all that because its obvious Queen are awesome isn't it? Its obvious Flash Gordon is a sweet movie? So those two elements combined would be awesome? Case in point below.....

The Time - Ice Cream Castle (1984)
A prime slice of 80's pop infused funk rock. The Time, assembled by Prince due to some legal billing in his contract and fronted by his long time friend Morris Day, had a string of minor hits in the 80's and made appearances in the movie's Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge.
Pretty sweet eh? The long hidden truth was that The Time never played any of the recorded songs whatsoever. Prince recorded all the music himself, bar the vocals, but Morris Day had to follow Prince's note by note guide. This often caused much friction between the two acts. The Time would then attempt to upstage Prince every night on tour in a similar situation to how Prince and his band used to try and upstage Rick James when they acted as his opening/backing band.
Anyway, enough chatter, what time is it?

Sorrows - Lethe (2010)
Far too good to let pass by. It was courtesy of the awesome Cosmic Hearse blog that I came into contact with Sorrows depressive and atmospheric take on black metal. Internet presence is kept to a bare minimum in Sorrows world. A single blog keeps it ticking over. Something which I really think has perked my interest in them.
Of course, this might be a result of Sorrows being immensely boring individuals and having nothing to add about they're music. Who knows? One thing I do know is Lethe is well worth investigating. Showing a wide ranging appreciation of black metal past and present and managing to shape those influences into something greater than the parts. Keyboards, harsh noise, frost bitten blasting, spoken word, indulgent arrangements, its all here and all done with a genuine honesty that is pretty refreshing to hear in the black metal world.

Rick James - Street Songs (1981)
In relation to the Eddie Murphy post below ( for obvious reasons), I present Rick James debut solo album. For no other reason than its just plain cool and look at that cover art. 80's funk/pop about drugs, crazy women and Ricks many adventures in pursuit of crack. God rest his soul.
Sadly Rick won't let us use this one. Its easy enough to find.
I promise there will be some noisy stuff coming soon. Some very noisy stuff.

Whale - We Care (1995)
Its Andy's fault that this is in my head at the moment. He made us listen to the single Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe on repeat a few weeks ago before we went out. This ruled music TV back when the afor mentioned single was charting. Everyone remembers the girls braces and that lollipop and those silver pants and two guys shouting in the desert and testicle inspecting and all the other great stuff in the video.

Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal To The Flesh (1998)

Why did I get up so early on a Saturday? Its not right. When I woke up I put this on. Morbid Angel's best album and most under rated in my opinion. First to feature Steve Tucker, who isn't on a par with David Vincent but does a pretty solid job. Listen out for the end of Nothing Is Not. They get into this riff and keep slowing it down until it becomes this discordant crawl. Superbly brutal.
