So much choice but I would go for Good Morning Susie Soho as I bought that first when it came out and followed by Seven Days of Falling and From Gargarins Point of View.

Currently in my new music pile waiting for its debut so I'm keen to hear what you think?

You will like it Gordon, very mellow. A lot to take in being a double.

Very good.

And so will Harnoncourt.

His third album and I think the best of the bunch.

And played this earlier, a fascinating record.

 

"For the past fifteen years pianist and keyboardist Morten Qvenild has been one of the most creative musicians in the Norwegian music scene. Qvenild has both an unusual flair for pop and a passion for experimentation and improvisation. Now, at last, his long-awaited solo debut album has arrived. Deluxe double LP edition cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates and Mastering - limited to 500 copies, 45 rpm, CD included. Qvenild is probably most well known as a member of the unusual piano trio In the Country, half of the duo sPaceMonkey with drummer Gard Nilssen, and Susanna Wallumrød's partner in Susanna & the Magical Orchestra, but he has also played in a number of other bands. Altogether Qvenild has appeared on at least 50 albums with artists such as the National Bank, Solveig Slettahjell Slomo Quintet, Susanne Sundfør, Arve Henriksen, Thomas Dybdahl, Marit Larsen, Nils Petter Molvær, Shining, Jaga Jazzist, Frida Ånnevik and Trinity as well as many others. For the past few years Qvenild has been working on developing "the HyPer(sonal) Piano". By integrating various types of electronics into the grand piano he has radically expanded the instrument's sonic palette. The inventive tunes and improvisations on his solo debut, 'Personal Piano', create a platform that highlights a unique and heavily processed world of sound and a remarkably intense musical idiom. The music is primarily instrumental, but Qvenild also sings on a few tracks."

Could be, Steve. Though if in his comeback he does a 'Bowie' and produces something like The Next Day I'm going to be disappointed.

When I had Jimi's albums on vinyl I tended to ignore this one, going instead for the 'usual suspects' like ABAL, AYE and ELL but for some reason I really like this on CD. Curious.
