Not listen to this for a while
Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane "Rough Mix"
nice to have this available again via Spotify Premium (US)
Before I listened to this clone of early Mike Oldfield....
Now listening to something which gives me the Tord Gustavsen sound

Apologies proofs the point that man......., and women can't do two things at the same time. Now with the right picyture to the comment.
Kansas. Leftoverture. On the original vinyl from 1976. Inspired by fatcat's recent post of "Carry On Wayward Son" on the PRaT topic.
CD
Buddy Holly. For The First Time Anywhere. On vinyl from 1983. Compiled by Steve Hoffman from the original 1955-1958 master tapes. The songs as Buddy originally recorded them.
Second spin.
John Cougar. Nothin' Matters And What If It Did. On vinyl from 1980. A fun rockin' album.
CD
My first exposure to Meyer and her Rameau work.
Meyer’s playing is natural and honest turning these pieces into a personal diary. Beautiful harmonic textures and colours only possible with more relaxed piano.
Her Rameau feels modern and dramatic without being over the top. All done in a classy way.
Erato's new 24/96 remaster ( done from 2007 EMI transfer ) is quite well done for the vintage. ( 1953 & 1946 recording ) Altho, 1946 concert recording suffers some clarity and tape hiss is much higher than the studio recording. Still, her brilliant keyboard work shines through.

Before I listened to this clone of early Mike Oldfield....
Hmmm very Oldfield... Not heard him before.
Not quite got the virtuoso of Oldfield but a good second.
Might get the CD.
The latest release from Lower Dens , Escape from Evil..
If you heard the last album Nootropics then this is different but still the same to quote John Peel , it has a more pop sound but has a dark melancholic underside !

Yes ~ Going for the One (1977)
I got this as part of their well presented, great value Studio Albums 1969-1987 box set which includes 12 albums (re-mastered in 2003) plus additional material and bonus tracks.
On original vinyl...

We Are The Fallen ~ Tear the World Down (2010)
Because I have gone cold turkey for a few months not listening to either Evanescence or these guys, time to fix that. Carly Smithson's voice sounding wonderful as ever.
