On vinyl.
It starts off a bit of flat in my opinion, but grows on you while you are listening and if you put up the volume a bit
Format : CD
Gian,
I'm a great fan of Philip's work and that's my favourite of his soundtracks. If you like that you should also have a listen to Notes on a Scandal. It's mesmerising!
Gian,

Thanks for tip Tony! Choice is between Decca and Rounder. First one?

King Crimson - Format : CD
Some New Orleans brass music on a Friday evening. First listen.
Thanks Haim!
Gian,
I assume that a guitar man like you would always keep this disc handy. I constantly remember while playing the album that the tube electronics employed for this recording add a welcomed extra dosage of sweetness.
The first record of the day on a newly refreshed 52 Supercap.
Jean-François Paillard's Brandenburg. Maurice Andre's horn is lovely but rhythmically this whole is a bit sat on. Next to Klemperer's Philharmonia players, they sound like a bunch of amateurs.
CD 1 of 2. First listen.
Thanks Haim!

I have it here, in the car and on ipod at work. They used self made mics and tube amps for this just to keep the natural sound and vibration of acoustic instruments i believe. Not a sacd or japanese pressing but very involving in its natural dynamic. Which is the aim of a lot of guitars' amps makers. Sometimes i think Naim could make great e-guitar amps.... 
As before Javier is playing very thoughtful , a nice start for Saturday
CD
As usual very dynamic playing in between jazz and pop
Scott on Screen, from the five-CD boxset "Scott Walker in Five Easy Pieces"
CD rips AIFF:-
Neil Young - Freedom, in memorium of Rick Rosas RIP
The Bad Plus - For All I Care after reminder by Bert's earlier post.
Wild Beasts
"Present Tense"
CD - a pretty awesome collections of (sympathetic) remixes and covers of SW songs...
The seasons, commissioned in 1875 by the editor of the St. Petersburg music magazine Nuvellist, is a cycle of twelve pieces depicting the months of the year, the first of which was published in January 1876 in the magazine, with pieces appearing in successive issues that year. Each piece was also given a poetic epigraph.
Thanks again, Doug.
