Seems I am listening to a lot of limited editions at the moment, but then I am a sucker for buying them.
Beautiful and gentle, both Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry have such amazing voices.

I just pre-ordered the whole series of Dead Can Dance albums on SACD - the sound of the original albums was already very good, let's see if this can be improved on.

A nice ending to a very long day ...

This album is never too far away from my system - one of my all time faves no matter what mood I'm in. Was already playing this before you posted...the spooky coincidence factor strikes again...

There are still some of the 2005 live shows available, including the 'best of US tour', which are very worth getting hold of before the editions sell out. The recordings of reunion tour were beautifully done.

The versions of the tracks from Liza Gerrard's 'Silver Tree' album seem much stronger with DCD live, but then I love live music anyway.

Now playing Nine Inch Nails Ghosts III-IV again.

Herbie Hancock and guests - Gershwin's World

Matewan - OST; Bonnie Prince Billy in a speaking role



Ben Harper & Blind Boys of Alabama - live at the Apollo

Redshift 'II. Ether'

Borodin Quartet playing the six Op. 18 String Quartets of Beethoven. The Borodin spread the six out over 3 cd's as opposed to the typical 2. It amounts to about 15 or 20 longer in total time. I like these recordings and they are very convincing to me. They make a nice alternative/contrast to some other "higher octane" interpretations. So far have listened to Volumes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Highly recommended but I love these quartets no matter who is playing them, I guess

Alison Krauss - A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection

Vernon Handley leading the RPO in Bantock's Celtic Symphony

Ravel: Krystian Zimerman / Pierre Boulez
Concerto for Piano & Orchestra in G major, Concerto for the Left Hand in D major, Valses nobles et sentimentales (orchestral version)

Procul Harum "The Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the de Camera Singers" on a Japanese Victor cd with K2 HD mastering, arrived today. Fabulous sound.

Is this still available ? I'd buy it for the cover alone. SOOOO ECM, SOOOOOO seventies. Does it say who took the cover photo ? Harald Mante ? Or Christian Voigt ?

Uhm, erm, and the music ?

My headache says NO, but my ears say YES to this great, athmospheric (?) live recording. One of my favs, and "Stiletto" is a piece that EVERY speaker needs to pass, before I continue to be interested. The "Goddesses" did with great attitude...
