Didn't see them on iTunes this morning when I checked.  Is this a continent thing?

 
Could be.

Wouldn't surprise me if Apple requires extra money for each target country in their store.

Some links:

https://itunes.apple.com/dk/album/dead-ends/id566482620
 
I tried to replace the "dk" with "de" and "uk",

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/the-rumour-said-fire/id328198664 

See the pages have different content from county to country.

All their 3 albums are on Spotify for listening and on iTunes for purchase. And most songs are on Youtube as well. 

Talk Talk - The Rainbow
(Dec 15, 2012 - 18:31)
Mark Hollies ... 

The story goes that the first 2-3 albums were made for the sake to produce money. When they where given free hands to produce what they really wanted, they made this masterpiece of an album ... and where then sacked from their record company. 

Mumford & Sons - Whispers In The Dark
(Dec 15, 2012 - 17:59)
Initially ... Mumford & Sons are quite likeable: Banjo, rhythm, pace, Mumford's voice ...

But there is always something missing. It's like they start on the peak ... try to keep the peak ... and their songs never evolve. The start is the beginning is the end of the ... well after 30 seconds, everything is said. 



Pink Floyd - Time

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game

Chris is touring these days. Saw him in Copenhagen last month. He has an awesome tight show. Great Rock'n'Roller{#Bananajam}

Carbon Leaf - Toy Soldiers

Volume up means 8 -> 10

The Derek Trucks Band - I Know

There is just so much blood, sweat and tears in this song, you gotta love it!

Need to offer a bit of encouragement to Bill - PLEASE - more J&MC would be much welcomed I believe! 
 
Oh yes. Every single track from their 1987 album "Darklands" would sparkle so wonderful into the famous RP flow. 

Peter Schilling - Major Tom (Coming Home)

Here are some variations:

Original German:

and my favorite : William Shatner's version.

Shatner rules !

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Head On
(Aug 02, 2012 - 14:27)
More Jesus & Mary Chain, please. 
I remember an interview with Jim Reid back in the 80's, complaining about the music world not recognizing their genius and being ahead of time. Who knows, maybe they will get full recognition some time in the future. 

Xavier Rudd - Follow The Sun

A jumper ... 9 -> 10

Jack White - Missing Pieces
(Jul 16, 2012 - 06:03)
Watched him play at Roskilde Festival last week. For me it was the highlight of the whole festival. So many spot on improvisations of his songs from White Stripes, Raconteurs and his solo album. Great concert. 

John Hiatt - Drive South
(Jun 22, 2012 - 13:15)
Saw John Hiatt as Roskilde Festival July 1988, just a month before he released this gem of an album. It was an awesome intense and intimate performance.

John Hiatt - Feels Like Rain
(Jun 21, 2012 - 05:38)

Honest and sincere performance. Love it !

This song is filed under 'Lifts me up!!'{#Bananapiano}

I love the extended versions even more.

I was just wishing the same. Bless that woman. She lifted this song up to delightful heights.

I love these evolutionary evolving songs, building ... drifting ... sailing  ....

John Hiatt - Take it Down
(Mar 22, 2012 - 15:52)
 Goat9 wrote:
Unless I'm mistaken, this song is actually in reference to the Confederate flag controversy in South Carolina in 2000. SC had been flying the rebel flag on the statehouse on a 50' flapgpole ("My love is 50' tall.")  Hiatt was urging them to "Take it down, down." ("SC, where are you? The war is over, the battle through.")
 
well here are the lyrics:

Take everything that we have

Take it and burn it to the ground
Some things were never meant to last

CHORUS:
Take it down, down, down
Take it down
Take it down, down, down
Take it down

I'm still married to it all
That ain't no place to hang around
My love is 50 feet tall

CHORUS

I've grown accustomed to the way
You hurled us into space
I'll never make that trip

Tears all rusted on my face
And I'm just an empty place
Where your love used to fit

South Carolina where are you
We were once lost and now we're found
The war is over, the battle's through 

Lloyd Cole - Loveless
(Mar 20, 2012 - 18:13)
Lloyd Cole with or without the Commotions is nice. Such a good rehearing. 

John Hiatt - Have a Little Faith in Me
(Mar 19, 2012 - 21:35)
This is so good. Memories. Roskilde 1988, Blue Tent. Such a good feeling.

Rolling Stones - Jig-Saw Puzzle
(Mar 13, 2012 - 06:41)
This piece is a perfect example of why the Stones have been so unappealing to me. Where is the music ? 

Goldfrapp - Cologne Cerrone Houdini
(Mar 08, 2012 - 06:31)
Amazing how songs get a special life here on RP. 
I am sure, if I hear this song on a Goldfrapp record, it will not stand out this much as it does here in Bill's collection.
This like chemistry. It's not just the ingredients. It's also temperature and environment.

Mumford & Sons - White Blank Page
(Feb 19, 2012 - 16:27)
Play it, Bill !
Nice to listen to your subtle blend : ) 

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Dearest, we are so sad to let you go from this place. So sad to know that this place is not good enough for you. But we have to accept the fact , that there are better places for you out there, places that really deserves your class. In true humbleness {#Notworthy}

Arctic Monkeys - That's Where You're Wrong

Echo & The Bunnymen meets Lloyd Cole, has to be good : )

Well, if you ever watched Boston Legal, you would know William Shatner is an artist who can bare everything people have of pitiful thought about him. He is a genius.

... and Underworld used to be Freur ... way back. Quite some transformation.

Moby - Look Back In
(Nov 10, 2011 - 01:38)
Listen the whole album as one piece, folks.

Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill
(Oct 04, 2011 - 10:04)
It's amazing, reading the comments to this song. So many people remember where they were and what they did first time they heard it. And indeed, the same for me. I think that's the remarkable thing about this tune, isn't it ? 

!Deladap - Lautlos
(Aug 31, 2011 - 14:10)
This song slowly crawls into me. I like it more and more. 

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere/Wonderful
(Aug 24, 2011 - 06:12)
First time hearing it, I would have rated it 6-7 ... now it's a 10. Love it

Alanis Morissette - Thank U
(Aug 17, 2011 - 16:55)
LOL, can you honestly mean that, voting a 10 for Bob Dylan ?

Yes, but if you write a good, quality song and then have your cat try to sing it, odds are most people will call that song horrible. It is a shame too because a good song never has a chance to be appreciated because the cat is not a very good singer. Just an analogy, but a relevant one methinks.{#Yes}
 



Supertramp - If Everyone Was Listening
(Aug 17, 2011 - 13:42)
The only song from the album, that is not on the 'Paris' live record. Makes it a beautiful undiscovered gem.


Blondie vs. Philip Glass - Heart of Glass
(Aug 09, 2011 - 02:20)
Love both of them, but this tune turned my stomach around. Never before has a song accomplished that. Thank heavens this song is followed up by Arcade Fire. Now my stomach is getting better. 

Freur - Doot Doot

They are now Underworld
