Listening to decide which 2 I need to get a rid of. I certainly don't need 4 copies of the same thing.

 

My New Year's resolution is to get rid of as much as dupes as possible.

During the workout. It's a better album than I expected. This strange combination of his voice, the Arabian influence in the music and this recognizable Plant sound...

And then followed up with this, similar style...

Now over breakfast hearing some Richter. It sounds so intriguing that I would like to stay home and hear more of it......, but Duty calls....

Fiction Tales

Turned on the RP3 for a change and dragged this out from the back of the vinyl box. Fiction Tales by Modern Eon. 1981 post-punk and sounds just as great over two (no THREE!) decades on. Prior to spinning this I'd been listening to Manual by Appliance and I can hear similarities in the two bands.

black box recorder

At work so spotify.

 

Love this... Black Box Recorder/England made me.

 

I just can't think how to classify it. Sort of down beat folk I suppose.

 

Every track's a mini novel - Child Psychology is simply brilliant.

Bach Organ Works - Simon Preston

 

 

My Magneplanar 3.6Rs deliver the sheer scale of this music wonderfully, if not the very lowest registers (although they do even this very well).

 

Uplifting music to start the day before I revert back to my Rock/Blues roots.

Thanks Wat.

 

Yes, I love these speakers, although if truth be told, my current listening room isn't big enough to do them justice.

 

A long standing project for my retirement is to convert my double garage into a decent 'music' room. The questions are - will I ever get around to it, and if I do, then where will I keep my motorbike?

 

Why is life never easy?

Qzric Tentacles ~ Curious Corn (1997)

 

"They've always straddled the line between psychedelic progressive and rave, always leaning more towards the former, but with the new keyboard player they get a healthy dose of 90's electronics to make things exciting again. This ranks almost as good as Pungent Effulgent or Strangetitude."
