Sorry I missed your post Joe.

Who knows what went thorugh his mind. Madcap Laughs is another example of how he had retracted into his own world and  locked the door behind. I think not even his best mates, which he kept on alienating, knew what was going on in his head. He was a great influence on the PF sound as clearly shown how much they missed him through Wish You Were Here and Shine on You Crazy diamond. Messed up genious or just messed up, we can only guess.

Symphony No. 9

From Wikipedia...

Krzysztof Komeda (born Krzysztof Trzciński 27 April 1931 in Poznań – 23 April 1969 in Warsaw) was a Polish film music composer and jazz pianist, [he used Komeda as a stage name due to the Communist government's dislike of jazz.] Perhaps best known for his work in film scores, Komeda wrote the scores for Roman Polanski’s films Rosemary’s Baby, The Fearless Vampire Killers Knife in the Water and Cul-de-sac Komeda's album Astigmatic (1965) is widely regarded as one of the most important European jazz albums; critic Stuart Nicholson describes the album as "marking a shift away from the dominant American approach with the emergence of a specific European aesthetic."

Muzyka to bubble-bath too?

Inspired by what Haim is playing : )

Debs

Nice to relax to on a sunday night before the madness of another week

Following  Paul's flying machines posts

Last one tonight

Ah, Ms Fraser's voice. Great album. Niiiiiiiiice!

Beethoven's violin sonatas as re-envisioned by Anne-Sophie Mutter. 'Interventionist' doesn't begin to describe the tricks she pulls here. Sometimes it all goes over the top, as if Mutter was bored with just the notes on paper, but it makes for engrossing listening. And of course, there is that gorgeous sound of hers. Even though (or because... ) I don't think much of this music represents Beethoven at his inspired best, this is the recording I keep coming back to.

Recorded sound is great, but note that these are live recordings that retain applause and encores.

Cheers,

With Tony2011.

Vinyl.

Graham.

On Original Black.

Thanks Chords, sounds great aside from the price ($38 for a used copy $99 for a new).

The Allman Brothers Band.  Original release on vinyl from 1975.  Seems like each day over the last week I've helped myself to at least one serving of southern-fried rock.  This one is a double helping of 2LPs.

Tony,

 Syd penned the Madcap Laughs as a song many years before he lost the plot, so to speak.

It was one of the first songs he crafted.

It just took years to come out on the said brilliant solo album.

Stu.

Thanks Tony and Stu for the Barrett input.  I went and sampled some of his MP3s online and it sounds like it's worth a go.  Cheers.

Stevie "Guitar" Miller.  Fly Like and Eagle.  On vinyl from 1976.  Always top-notch SQ from him.
