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

I actually find   Circense a lot more accessible compared  to Dança das Cabecas. 

Vinyl

AIFF 24/96

Janos Starker - Bach Cello Suites

hybrid SACD

Warren Zevon. Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School. On original vinyl from 1980. Always straightforward, Zevon's music demands your attention.

Great album Joe. I will have to pull my copy out this weekend.

On vinyl.

Kuma, I ordered the vinyl about a month ago and still no expected delivery date given.  I am listening to the CD now.  I was just joking about what they have written around the centre of this CD, " This CD sounds even better through a Linn system."

Ah thanks Doug.

I was curios about the sound quality and production value of Linn records. Some of the old ones I have are not very good. ( obviously played through a non Linn system ) :/

I am curious about their recent Mozart Requiem SACD release, tho.

A bit of live Miles to start off the weekend - the awesome 3-CD box set from 1970.

Steve,

I have quite a few Dylan albums up to and including 'Desire' along with a few of his much later albums. I have maybe 4 albums by the Band, but amazingly didn't have anything of Dylan playing live with the Band.

Picked this one up (on CD) from Oxfam recently, but don't have anything to compare it with. I actually quite like the album - certainly worth the money I paid for it in Oxfam. What others would you recommend?

I must admit to never having heard of the album or group of your blues/rock selection abov, but I'll look out for it/them.

Now all I have to work out is - is the album:

"Barbed Wire Sandwich" by the Black Cat Bones

or

""Black Cat Bones" by the Barbed Wire Sandwich?

Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow. 

Proving that Red-Book, done well, can sound astonishingly good.

David Sylvian & Stina Nordenstam work wonderfully together too.

FLAC rip.

My favourite Ducal outing. Awesome performances from the orchestra, brilliant SQ and seems rather apposite given the events of the past couple of days:

I agree, that really is a great album, highly recommended! I have most of the albums David Sylvian has been involved with from his days with Japan / Rain Tree Crow through to his solo and collaborative work, this is definitely one of his best.  I think he has a new solo album soon to be released.

I still regularly listen to the Japan albums, "Ghosts" from Tin Drum and "Nightporter" from Gentlemen Take Polaroids are amongst my most played tracks.

I have always enjoyed listening to this in a real rainstorm, so as there is one raging outside...

Managed a CD rip of my son's latest purchase:-

Royal Blood - Royal Blood, supporting Foo Fighters on their UK tour.

Time for a nice bit of the Dead jamming with Branford Marsalis, on CD:

I had this on earlier - great working from home music as I await Scottish Gas to come and assess our central heating/hot water catastrophe...

G

Lucky old you G! Hopefully Scottish Gas will turn up sometimes this millennium! I have a couple of terabytes of live Dead I can give you if you need something to listen to while you wait!

 I always find the dead really good to work to as well... great minds think alike.

The band is called "Black Cat Bones". Their claim to fame if I'm correct was that Paul Kossoff was in an early line up of the band. I saw them on a Tuesday "Blues night" at the Boat club in Nottingham around 1969/70.
