What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

Cars - Fear Factory
Cruisin' for Bluesin' - Ray Bailey
Purchased today from my local 2nd hand dealer. In near MINT condition. Plays like a new copy (Better than some new vinyl recently purchased!) Reminds me of the Tom Scott film The Hunger listening to Bela Lugosi's Dead. Great film.

Typical Stockfisch Sound. Great Album

Not a jazz fan but this compilation may just make me one. The John Scofield 3 Natures is just sublime beauty as is Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny The Precious Jewel. Just a great compilation.

Nice!
Great music for a late spring day afternoon when the air is warm, the sun bright and a light breeze blowing. Perfect for lazing and having a beer or glass of wine and just relaxing.
The Car-Stereo Album
Stones - Voodoo Lounge
Time to kick it up a notch.
Haim,
Preparing for tomorrow's concert?
Wonderful sounding original DGG pressing.
I love Kempff's Late Sonatas. They feel just right from the first note.

How's the sound, Kuma? All CD issues so far suffer from a grand that sounds more like a small upright. To me the technical sound quality pushes too much of Kempff's artistry into the realm of blandness.

A comparison of recent '27's. Both very good (the more I hear the Pires, the more I prefer her 27 to the more famous 20 that follows it). Funny that when I compared Pires with Uchida's newer CLeveland recordings I found Pires to more subtle performer; on the other hand, Hewitt is more subtle still (within an overtly lyrical canvass) to the point where she starts to resemble the earlier Uchida / Tate style. Hewitt asserts more of her own personality on the music than the young Uchida, though.
Cheers,
EJ
Before sunrise Haydn.
