Only 22 years late, I've just been introduced to this gem.
Great melodies, lyrics and recording quality from The Scottish Company. The swing of the title track is worthy of the glory days of Linn/Naim partnership.

Can't see the picture, what is it ?

"On A Clear Day"(2002) MP3
I am happy with the DG contract. It will enable us to buy some new recordings from maestro Sokolov...

Lighthouse Family ~ Postcards From Heaven (1997)
Soothing...

Very interesting album, with special coverage of Chopin exudes (the best version I think), some side noises though....
She's so cute and with her velvety voice, I don't even mind when she hits a wrong note.
Out on 45 RPM Vinyl: SANKT OTTEN - ENGTANZ DEPRESSION

Maybe notes sound a little different in English that in another language. Wait, maybe that is intonation.
Ryan Adams
"Ashes And Fire" (2011) MP3
New Steven Wilson album Hand Cannot Erase. Sounds very nice on vinyl.
Keith
Spotify Premium
Tunde Baiyewu ~ Diamonds In A Rock (2014)
Liking his voice and music with Lighthouse Family in the 90's and his first solo album Tunde back in 2004 I thought I would give this a try.
Original vinyl.
Shannon McNally
"Western Ballad" (2011) MP3
Renee Stahl
"Melancholy Pop" (2002) MP3
Entertaining
Grateful Dead ~ Anthem of the Sun (1968)
Just via Spotify Premium, still pretty good though.
Molly Hatchet. Flirtin' With Disaster. On original vinyl from 1979. I'm a big fan of George Marino's mastering and it fits this album well; tight and fast with some punch.
On white vinyl.
Stéphane Grappelli ' I Got Rhythm!' with the Hot Club of London.
1973 Live Recording at Queend Elizabeth Hall.
I always had a sweet spot for Grappelli.
These US reissue records are wafer thin and a bit noisy.
Nirvana. Nevermind (1991). Pallas pressing from 2009. I much prefer the vinyl to CD, but the music and sound is commanding in either format.
