System of a Down - Mezmerize on CD
So good I played it twice.
Can well understand that. Supertramp's best IMO
Charlie Haden & John Taylor 'Nightfall'
Not playing this right now, but played it twice last night. I didn't post last night as I wanted to include the picture of the album cover and I don't think it's possible to access the URL on an iPad.
I got this in the free bundle of test pressings last summer, but the copy I received was not the greatest pressing, so I bought it on CD at the Bristol show. This is a truly gorgeous album of music and must be one of the best I've heard on the Naim label to date, if not the best. Beautiful melodies enhanced by the delicate textures of Haden's bass. Sublime stuff indeed.
The cover picture was taken by Ken Christianson, the sound engineer who recorded 'Nightfall'.
Now playing, prompted by this post on this thread...the system works 
Ryan Adams "iTunes Session" (ep)
(iTunes download)
interesting but subtle differences from the norm

You're album's not showing, RK.
Counting Crows "Saturday Nights And Sunday Mornings"
(iTunes download) Great lead guitar work by Dan Vickrey.
The album is derided on this forum for its SQ
but the music is very good IMHO.

"Bloody Well Right"
On Vinyl. Gets better with every new listen!
1st Disc.......
.... and now
Alone Together, Lee Konitz's first recording for Blue Note, is a special event. The saxophonist teamed up with legendary bassist Charlie Haden and young lion pianist Brad Mehldau, and the trio's interaction on this set of relaxed bop is astonishing. On paper, the music on Alone Together -- a collection of standards -- should just be straightahead cool bop, but all three musicians are restless and inventive, making even the simplest numbers on the disc vibrant, lively and adventurous. It's a wonderful record, one that makes a convincing argument that Konitz remains a vital force even as he reached his seventieth year.
Had a listen sometime ago on BBC R6 Ewe and quite striking similarities to VU with a pinch of The Strokes. Also touches of The Jesus and the Mary Chain, themselves heavily influenced by the VU.
Me like it a lot. Thanks for posting!
