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:

Vinyl. Original Decca 1st press Mono.
Second album by these Brit Indie rockers.
Klaus Doldingers Passport: Infinity Machine
German RockJazz at it's best...
Cd from the early 1980's... no remaster... ;-)
Reminds me to pull out a couple of Passport discs later as I haven't played them in ages.
My 1966 copy of this album is well 'batted' but as Dr Blues said on another forum " This ain't HIFI this is just good emotional foot stompin' music" 
...always interesting to hear..
Bit of a 'Mod Revival' in our house this evening

Hi ewemon,
I also had fun to hear after Infinity Machine
Passport and Handmade
Great to hear them again.
Jerry Garcia Band fest. From the Lunt-Fontanne run in October 1987.
31 October is a 4 CD set.
Finished that, and onto:
3 CD set. Currently finished CD1. Onto #2.
A CD which I haven't listened to in years. I thought it sounded stale when it first came out, but those were Arcam days - it was high time for a reassessment. And it sounds rather more involving than I remembered. For a live recording, sound is exceptionally good but, also typically, a bit dark. The performance is a touch careful and occasionally more than a bit. But the cast, chorus, orchestra and director know their business and in the early 2000s, I doubt a better cast could have been assembled. Enjoyable if not essential.
Cheers,
EJ
Patty Griffin - American Kid. CD.
Very good. Recommended.
My first listen to the new Mazzy Star / Seasons of Your Day double vinyl.
The music is ...okay, fairly typical of her 90s material, and it may grow but for the disapointing concerns over the SQ quality of the vinyl.
Is this a louded digital master?
We should be told
Debs
My most recent purchase - The knife. Shaking the Habitual
Paul Motian: I have a room above her
Three good musicians (especially Bill Frisell) speaking in different languages. In other words; a lack of synergy turns listening to the CD a chore.
Retro/Electro/Rock this evening
