CD 2 of 3 of what is a very nice discovery (for me) of Can's lost tapes, so far from CD 1 it has been mostly very good.

Stevee, Can's throwaways are better than most bands' entire careers...

A random pull from the CD shelves - can't recall having listened to this since it came out in the early '90s. Rather enjoyable.

OK, it's a Christmas album - but they don't come classier than this. Built around Clemens non Papa's Christmas mass in the structure common to Stile Antico's other records, Stile Antico remains at the top of a highly competitive field.

Wolf People. "Steeple" on vinyl. A most pleasing disc.

Geddy seems to think he has retired from touring, maybe not studio work.

This CD arrived in the post today. Don't think I've listened to Curved Air since I was a teenager so for me this album really is a blast from the past.  Despite the many years it still seems familiar.  Also bought Air's Second Album which I'll give a listen to later.

No need to feel guilty Stevee. Every reason in the world to love Abba. Arrival and The Album are my two faves of theirs.

Some trax off their up and coming album

On CD. Because it is perhaps the most beautiful pieces of music (or series of pieces) created in the past half-century.
