dry-stone, what are you plugging those very nice Oppo PM1 headphones into the SN2?
Caribou
"New Love"
Great album. Have you heard any of Dan Snaith's earlier work?
Hi
No, I haven't, I will look into that. Tried Caribou because of PatK posting it.
Had your Farke Toure recommend on in the background yesterday and thought it very good. Noticed either a duplicate song or they were repeating some of the same melodies of the Cooder duo disc, will have to listen again. Good stuff. Thanks.

Dan Snaith has released his albums under a few different names; "Swim" (2010) was the last Caribou album, which is well worth a listen; in 2012 he released "Jiaolong" under the name Daphni which I haven't heard as yet.
If you are enjoying Ali Farke Toure, try to have a listen to this Saharan Blues compilation, it contains many interesting artists and tracks.

I had just found the Daphni connection and I will be listening to more Caribou as well.
I will check the Sahara album out if I can. I am not a big "world music" fan but it is nice having a few recommendations. Thank you.
Spotify is my source for a lot of this and then I make folders to store them in for future listening. You may end up with your own folder 
. Some here have.
good listenin'

Top of the pile:
Eels
"The Cautionary Tales Of Mark Oliver Everett"
one of my favorite 2014 releases
I have been amazed by the sheer, stark, beauty of the music here. I hadn't heard of them before and really wish I had.

The Outlaws were one of my favourites back in the 70s. I still play the 3 albums I have (including this one) regularly.
Also a big fan of Little Feat. I can't believe I never got to see either band play live!
A very under-rated duo from the late 80s:
John Mellencamp
"Performs Trouble No More Live At Town Hall"
on vinyl, concert level - very entertaining.
Qobuz stream.
Lisa Hannigan
"Passages"
Note - For everyone who is enjoying Damien Rice's "O", this is the female voice
that makes parts of that album so hauntingly good. And the cellist on "O" is
Vyvienne Long who also has several releases out. Not implying their work equals "O"
but they are talented and their individual releases are very decent IMO.
Good tip, Jeff. I might explore this Lisa Hannigan album
Haven't given this a spin in quite while. I've always enjoyed this DS album, helped in part by the superb quality of the production. One of those CDs that makes me think why all can't be recorded as well?
LP
"Forever For Now"
Made aware of this by her appearance on
"CBS Saturday Morning" with music-loving
host Anthony Mason. If you can accept pop music,
this is pretty darn decent.
