My playing this is inspired by the gloriously sunny weather. Seems to suit it somehow. A superb reproduction with lovely depth, detail and sound-staging.

Your father hasn't been born yet......
and Mother Sky doesn't half move along... Takes me back to some long haired, smokey bar In Liverpool.
...and I am in York tomorrow for a hair cut... How the world has changed.

Don't think I've listened to this since the SL cables arrived. Goodness me! An excellent preproduction has turned into a stupendous one, especially on the song Shelter. Never heard Ray sounding so good. 
As Gary Shaw is embroiled in his Streaming project, I thought this Podcast might give him a welcome break - https://www.mixcloud.com/ianfa...5-man-in-the-mirror/
This is the 155th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show. Your usual host, Eppy, is experiencing a busy period at work and is preparing for EppyFest 4, so Rebsie & Daniel from Alchymical Muse have kindly stepped in to bring you another of their takes on the Eppy Gibbon show. You can expect a typically eclectic musical mix, including a feature artist (rather than a feature album), XTC, and there will be three tracks from that band. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

A really really good album from a very talented and seemingly nice guy, thanks for the nudge, will have a listen to this later
