Started the day with this one (on bedroom system). 'Deadwing' by Porcupine Tree
Maintaining the Steve Wilson thread, this was next on the NDS. This is finally starting to work for me. It was when I was following the lyrics and reading the other text in the sleeve notes whilst listening to the vinyl copy a couple of weeks ago that it really started to make sense. Still not as progressive as the Raven, but I might even change that opinion in time.

Prompted by Joe and Clive's earlier postings. This one is out of the Studio Years 1969-1987 box set (2013). These are the same Rhino remasters from 2003 but repackaged with original album art work mini-sleeves and bonus tracks mostly made up of studio outtakes and remixes. It will be interesting to hear what Steve Wilson does with it.
Great solo guitar album..
The Wallflowers. Bringing Down The Horse. On CD from 1996. The first five tracks are engaging and very good. Beyond that, the final six tracks quickly become a recycling of the same redundant sound.
Never really got into them.

Just in the mood for some J.J. Cale on this lovely late summer afternoon.
On CD:-
PFM - Storia Di Un Minuto

(1974)
This album followed up Really two years later, listening to it because the 30 minutes or so of Really was just not enough Cale.

For me Cale is the no brainer answer to the question ''What music would you want to listen to if you were stranded on a desert island?''
Bob, Pink, Pepper... Reggae stylie...

Yello never cease to make me smile, I really enjoy the rhythm, beats and fast pace that they inject into their music, it's always a fun ride. This one is sounding very good on original '87 Mercury CD.
Great bass sound, the 24/192 does make a difference...

Must give that another play. Three times so far and I not yet 'getting it'.

Something a bit left field (for me anyway). Enjoying it though
For a long time this was one of my lesser-played Supertramp albums, my default being CotC, but for some reason I can't put my finger on I find I'm playing quite often lately.
