What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (VOL V)

Never liked them in the past, but giving them another go...liking it. I could see this adding the quality of my tinnitus. Tool and '10,000 days'. Fantastic 3d digipak.

First Listen,
"Songwriter to the stars Hewerdine showcases his finely crafted songs in an acoustic guitar-led setting, his light, reedy voice carrying simple, poetic reflections on life and love. The spirit of Nick Drake and Tim Hardin hang over 'Harvest Gypsy', while the understated rhythmic pulse of 'Stone My Shoe' sounds like something JJ Cale might have written."

Stu...I had that 2bl album and it went missing at a party about 10yrs ago. I've kept an eye open for it for years. Great version of Lorelei (?s). Is the cd available anywhere globally?

Why? Been looking for a good vinyl copy of this album for a while now and got one today hold on to your ears grandads, its Minimal Techno from the land that invented it, Germany and rather good it is too.

Isolee - We Are Monster






Dean...

Carmina - Weather In The Heart

Why? Turned up today along with their My Crescent City.

Anyone else tried them?

as recommended on here

On ECM - the trio is playing the Royal Festival Hall 25th July. Tickets on sale Wednesday. Can't wait.

This is one of my favourite Jarrett shows - a come back after illness in Paris and a gig I was at.

On the train to work.

What do you think Nigel?

It sounds really interesting on first listen - more of an "American" feel than your "typical" ECM release. The music has a light, freewheeling quality that I rather, ahem, dig! Will give it another spin later.

I almost bought the Sinan/Hulsmann "Fasil" CD as well, but in the end opted for the new Enrico Rava. Did I choose wisely?

I did not like Fly first listen although I was wandering the house whilst it was playing, so not giving it my full concentration and it began to annoy me as an album. I played it on the train home tonight and found it much more suited to my journey home and quite enjoyed it.

The Rava is good, so yes you chose well. The Sinan is an interesting CD and I like it a lot more than I was expecting. The guitar playing is very good on it. It is a little more challenging and abstract but worth checking out IMHO and a vocal album - you will either warm to the voice or not. You can always listen to it on Spotify.

Vroom vroom!

Howard,
What do you think of it?
Stu

Pretty good, in fact I might even go so far as to say excellent.

U2 - No Line on the Horizon

a little behind everyone else in finally listening to this.

Why? Stunning first album from Nathan Fake tonally colourful with beautiful textured melodies running throughout the album. His new one is just out and I'm waiting to get my grubby hands on it.







Dean...

I never knew they had an Oxfam in Barcelona.

Because, it reminds me that there are still musicians with integrity.
