Be Honest! What are the last 5 pieces of music you listened to? And Why?
Posted by: Alex S. on 03 August 2001
Mine are:
Dutilleux: Ainsi La Nuit String Quartet. (Vinyl)
Led Z: Stairway to Heaven (only). (Vinyl)
Supertramp: Breakfast in America. (CD)
Ozric Tentacles: Hidden Step. (CD)
Steve Stevens: Flamenco a go go. (CD)
This seemed like an odd set which is why I'm asking - do we all jump from one thing to another or do most of us do a session of jazz, classical, trance, whatever.

Just found this thread so here goes:
Katie Melua: call off the search. Purchased this afer hearing the single on the radio. Quite bluesy with some swing in there as well. Not bad, but she needs to go a bit to be Nora!
Carl Bartos: Communication. Got this one by chance as I like Kraftwerk so took a gamble. Not sure yet as have not really sat and listened to it properly (My missus does not like this type of music too much - bugger)
Peter Gabriel - Hit! I like this, especially the two cd set with the 2nd cd having b sides etc. the track Contact is getting flogged to death primarily doe to Jerry Marotta's superb drumming.
Fleetwood Mac/Eagles - Best of's: : Both these purchased as a result of borrowing me mum's copies! LOL! Both really good recordings, and ideal to pass an evening listening to as something new reveals itself each time.
regards,
andy c!

(1) Joe Maneri: Dahabenzapple (Hatart)
(2) Tomasz Stanko: Leosia (ECM)
(3) Cecil Taylor: Pleistozaen Mit Wasser (FMP)
(4) Clark Terry: Color Changes (Candid)
(5) Joe Lovano: From The Soul (Blue Note)
I just recently got a CD5i after being without a cdp for a few months. I think TT is happy to finally have a rest. As for the albums: Leosia is absolutely fabulous. I am a huge Tony Oxley fan. The Cecil Taylor album is amazing. If you enjoy free improvisation you should really check this out. It is a duo performance with Derek Bailey. Color Changes is one of my favorite albums. If you can pick up the original lp snag it! Absolutely beautiful sound. The Joe Lovano album is another great one and maybe his best effort. His interpretation of "Body and Soul" is a wonder.

The following are records that my brother played to me from his extensive collection of (fairly) obscure recordings;
1. Dixie Dregs: What If. The first track on this is the theme music to the Friday Rock Show, that brought back quite a few memories from my youth! The rest of the album is pretty good, Steve Morse plays guitar (very impressive), a bit reminiscent of Return to Forever.
2. Pat Martino: Conciousness. Excellent Jazz guitarist, his music sounds deceptively straightforward but has some strange twists.
3. Screaming Headless Torsos: I can't remember the name of the album or what the music was like (too much wine at this point)
4. Artist not remembered: Music from The Ether. This is a recording of various classical pieces played on the Theremin, most bizarre, but quite compelling.
5. Shawn Lane: Live. Unbelievable. I have never heard any guitarist play this fast. He makes Al Di Meola on Friday Night In San Fransisco sound like he was on Mogadon. Fortunately most of his music is not total fretboard wankfesting, but fairly laid back and melodic.
Anyway, apologies for forgetting half of the information on these recordings, but I can get the full details if anybody is remotely interested...

I've just played my playlist from here and a couple of things gleaned from Rides. I've picked up a lot of music from messers Lees and DJ, although rather less from messers Alves and Medallion, obviously.

My last five are:
1. Coldplay-Rush of Blood to the Head
2. Beatles-Revolver
3. Beatles-Rubber Soul
4. Peter Gabriel-Shaking the Tree/Greatest Hits
5. Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love
Why? Because those were the five I most recently felt like listening to.

Mozart piano sonatas cd 1 til 5 Daniel Barenboim
Why?
Because Mozart is the most charming, brilliant, beautiful, fantastic, witty, elegant and elusive of them all. And BArenboim plays it well.
"Divine Mozart. Who taught me to love what I do not understand" As Kierkegaard wrote (in Either - Or, and in my translation)
You gotta love it
Plyed on a not overly expensive cd/casette/radio thing called "Radionette". Still it's so very rewarding
