What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. X)

On Vinyl:-

German First Press.

CD rip from my NAS in FLAC:

I like the whole album, but love the track 'Cause we've ended as lovers' 

Way  back in the day I might have had a few cold ones while jamming out to some Skynyrd.

One more thing about Snorkel: their drummer, Frank Byng, is a busy man. You can find him playing in Crackle and Prescott.

I like Crackle's Heavy Water very much, it's complex and intriguing music. Very good, certainely worth a listen. If you like Glass Darkly I think you might like this one as well.

As for Prescott's One Did, I'm still undecided. I find it a bit monotonous, but if you're an electric bass fan, it's certainely for you. Great playing.

Both are from Slowfoot Records on Bandcamp.

Because I felt like listening to another great guitarist after the Jeff Beck album.

Couldn't really say why, but all this talk about kraut led me to:

Richard Pinhas, East/West [1980]

The French electronics/electric guitar blender, leader of Heldon. I've just seen that Cuneiform Records has many of his albums -- as well as Heldon's -- re-released on Bandcamp, along with albums from the likes of Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean, even some from Soft Machine and Robert Wyatt, and lots of what looks like very cool stuff. Damn'!

I've always loved this cover, I wish I had this album on vinyl. It's from the seminal but popular French comic-book author Philippe Druillet, who filled many of my sci-fi dreams (and nightmares !) in the seventies.

This album sounds a bit dated now, but still powerful stuff. I must check his newer output.

Some really great Zeppelin covers - Hi-res download from HD Tracks before they started blocking non-US downloads.

Followed by the real thing (Hi-res download from Qobus):

The (2007?) re-master sounding  very good.

Cheery music on a wet day while continuing with some favourite guitarists

Inspired by Steeve_S and his selection of favourite guitarists;

I'm a fan of Carlos Santana (especially on the Abraxas album which was hardly ever off my turntable when I was a student), but for me (and also for BB King), the best of the all was Peter Green

Genesis - A trick of the tail

Bowie - ziggy stardust

Traffic - Low spark of high heeled boys

Israel Nash Gripka - Rain Plains

Fever Tree - Fever Tree

All vinyl.

I won't disagree with you about Peter Green Hmack he is another favourite.

A fine fandango to do the housework to : )

Debs

Frank  Zappa  in New York  -  2 cd , "Titties and Beer" , and panto.

+1 have been a big fan since I first heard Albatross as a very young lad. Some of the Splinter Group music is also very good (generally the tracks where Nigel Watson takes a back seat) and the cds are really well produced and sound fantastic ripped and played through the nDac.

Streaming WAV, thanks to Naimlabel for sending the promocode by email - vinyl still on the way...

Hawkwind  -  Love In Space   -   2 cd live album.

On CD:-

I picked up a first press stereo copy in great nick today and I've just played it and the original first press mono that I have which isn't in such great shape. Funny, but I prefer the mono version. 

I'm also eagerly awaiting the LP but haven't downloaded it yet - not sure how I store it on the Unitiserve... What do you think of Touch and Flee? Is it good? I really liked The Face Of Mount Molehill 

Just finished listening to Nils Petter Molvær's "Khmer". This guy really is like Miles Davis on a solid trip of Electronica!
