What are you listening to right now? (VOL II)

The vinyl edition of the very impressive new double elpee from Blackmore's Night: Secret Voyage, it is medieval-style folk rock music from Richie Blackmore and wife Candice Night.

Why don't more modern bands do tracks with titles like Prince Waldeck's Galliard?

Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

The Decemberists - Her Majesty

I sure would buy this one but unfortunately its a fake. So for now the below will have to do.

The Winston Giles Orchestra - Soundtracks for Sunrise

Feist - Let It Die

~<>~ Johann Sebastian Bach ~<>~

Die Kunst Der Fuge

The Amsterdam Bach Soloists
Johan Kracht ~ violin
Henk Rubingh ~ violin
Gert Jan Leuverink ~ viola
Wim Straesser ~ cello
Maggie Urquhart ~ double bass
Rob Visser ~ oboe
Henk Knops ~ cor anglais
Brian Pollard ~ bassoon
Jos de Lange ~ bassoon
Truus van Tol ~ cello

Recording Maria Minor Church Utrecht, The Netherlands in April 1985

[DDD] Second edition CD @ 2000 ottavo

If it were a wine, it would be light and dry to go well with some cheese.
The oboe(s) and bassoons make for bubblely and jolly impression, but the strings keep coming back more serious. I really need to listen to this version again on another day : )

what a fantastic listen - english pressing vinyl no less

My favourite Ozrics album is The Bits Between The Bits from the time when you sent them a cassette and they sent it back with some music on it. It is now available as a nicely produced CD, Erpland is really good too.

Anyway I'm listen to bits of plastic each with a hole in the middle - so far

and

First class jazz

myself: my Dusko Goykovich CD's (Samba Tzigane, After Hours, ...)

Fantastic collection of Shirley and Dolly's music IMHO - hope you enjoyed it.

Listening to some more old vinyl

The Beatles (White Album)
Hawkwind (Quarks, Strangeness and Charm) - what a fantastic track Damnation Alley is - Robert Calvert at his brilliant best.
The Pretty Things (Vintage Years) - sounded surprisingly good - a real test this record from 1976, which is a collection of pre-67 tracks that boasts no attempt has been been made to enhance the sound.
