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:

Fiona Apple "Extraordinary Machine"
For breakfast I'm having a bowl of "Live Ethereal Cereal" made by Ozric Tentacles. I first had this recording on cassette, then they released all their tapes onto cd....that'll be 20 years ago this new year.
Seasick Steve
Saw him at Cropredy a few years back and he was brilliant. The sound he gets from his home made instruments is unbelievable. Of course having John Paul Jones on bass didn't hurt either 
Serious songs for serious listening and seriously beautiful.
A Christmas present to myself....
Reissue of 'The Return of the Durutti Column' Vinyl (Special Edition)
First chance with Christmas pressie
and back to Genesis
The rhythms and layers of keyboards are well worth a listen.
Greg Tannen "Rocket"
And then this...Still rather splendid. Not seen much of it about though.
Most of the CB kit was probably checked out using this album by Ian playing Bang-Bang
Original vinyl. A very good debut album, and one of their best IMO.
Haken - The Mountain
Someone here thought I might like this album, they were correct. The band played one of the best gigs I saw this year @ the excellent Borderline. The vocalist, Ross Jennings has a wide range and on one track (In Memoriam) sounds like Gary Stringer from REEF!
James Morrison "Undiscovered"
Reissue - vinyl
More Genesis
'Musical Box' is very atmospheric and the swelling keyboards in 'The Fountain of Salmacis' are something I'll always remember from the first time I heard it on Tommy Vance's Friday Night Rock Show many, many years ago.
Again a very good Debussy recital on CD ..
Classy and a brilliant live recording. How it should be done. G
James Taylor playlist from "Covers" and "Other Covers"

Paper Airplane by Alison Krauss & Union Station - great songs very well played.
Joe Henry "Civilians"
