iTunes/iMac. just catching up on my earth facts.
Remind me of 'obliquity of the ecliptic', it's been a while since I last listened 
Les Nubians - PRINCESSES NUBIENNES. Streaming.
On CD:-
Vinyl in anticipation of the upcoming new release.
Volume I, second spin.
Streaming...
It's been almost a year since I have first heard Britten's Piano Concert.
Giving it a listen again to see if this time I *get it*.
CD rip. I have always loved this album. For me, one of his very best.
Me too. My favourite Bowie album. I never tire of this one.
Just a heads up to anyone interested.
Jethro Tull live at the isle of Wight festival 1970.

Die Papst-Benedikt-Orgel Stiftskirche Unserer Lieben Frau zur Alten Kapelle in Regensburg

It is hard to believe that centuries ago man was able to create buildings, instruments, art and music of unsurpassed, unfathomable beauty. As we (de-)volve as a species we walk around, heads down, thumbs tapping away, self-absorbed in our own glory as if we are something to reckon with. Sad really...
To be able to spend time in these cathedrals absorbing such wonder - I wish I could spend the rest of my life doing such things (maybe even play them!)
Close to the Edge
Same tune but this is a later Holland repress.
I beginning to like this piece albeit I still don't understand it. This is not definitely something you can hum along. Now I can hear a Aaron Copland-esque ( Appalachian Spring ) riffs in Toccata.
Guess he was a boy genius. I didn't realise he wrote this piece when he was 24.
On vinyl. Still a great record.
Howling Wolf followed by Junior Wells both on vinyl.
One of the trios that formed out of Morphine, A.K.A.C.O.D (Also Known As Colley, Ortiz & Dersch).
First listen. Cool stuff. I think if you like Morphine, you would enjoy this.
Thanks for the up on this one Pat. The Phoenix rises from the ashes. Really good! 
Cool, Tony. Glad you like it!
Iron and Wine - Ghost On Ghost
The cover strikes me as something John Mellencamp would use. The music is pretty good, btw.
CD version.
On CD:-
This arrived in today's post from a well known forum member and gentleman Mr Steve C. I have never bought much LZ on CD for obvious reasons! However this Barry Diament mastered LZ1 sounds superb through my Olive CDS2 / XPS. Thanks Steve.
AIFF CD rip:-
Who - Who's Next, loudish anti central heating installation noise next door.
Gulda, one of the world's greatest pianists plays chopin. Extremely interesting.
BP.
