What an interesting album cover, so reminscent of the working class favorite Lowry, except that in this piece the shadow is more important than the object?

PS- I had translated this as 'The path of the black cat' but having looked on amazon I humbly correct myself to 'The black cat's footsteps'

You cannot go wrong with any of the Anouar Brahem albums. Try Thimar and Le Voyage De Sahar as well.

Cheers Adrian, I will.

PS- There is such a strong feeling in this album of the artist crying out "Define me!"

Did a lot of driving today and played a few Beatles albums getting ready for next week. I have listened to more Beatles this week than I have in the last few years (does not take much).

What I came to realise whilst playing Rubber Soul, was just how annoying the stereo mix of this album is, with instruments left and vocals right. I really enjoyed the album but it began to annoy me - I found it more noticeable in the car. It is making me think again that the mono boxset probably has more going for it than I had originally thought.

On our travels - albums that both the kids and their Dad agree on

I bet that is not too shabby?

Very enjoyable. Grado RS1's regarded as very revealing, not too compromised in this context!

Gordon,

It is that simple; if you enjoy Epigraphs you will really like this one:

An it is an ECM as well.

Beautiful, simply beautiful...so confident and independant but so in need of validation?

Tori Amos

Gordon - I can see at least one reason why you would like this album - a certain Mr Surman.

I can see several reasons, Surman, Brahem, Holland and your recommendation.

Continue on the ECM path that has been opened, tonite:

Gary Burton Quintet - Dreams So Real

(Oh, and Annouar Brahem is amongst my most played artists - all of his recordings are great - and the one concert I have been to very intimate, too)

cheers

This is a great cover and I seem to remember Stefan, you took a similar photo.

One of the best ECM's - all IMHO - Stefan - have you got this - one of your fave musicians - Collin Walcott

Why the sad face - do you have the black wax version yet?

I see you now removed the sad face!

Are these from JPC? - if so that seems to be pretty quick delivery.

Yes, five Jarrett CDs arrived this afto - really pleased with the service from JPC. They're vying for time in my 5x with a batch of Harmonia Mundi CDs from Amazon, that also came today. It's a hard life

Well, I think my way of taking Photos is influenced my ECM covers, but far from their quality. The closest I would think of would be

Adrian, it's funny to see what you listen to in Skype and only shortly after that on this forum. Interesting effect...
