WAV
(2003)
A nice slice of grungy, hard rocking, alternative metal.
Remaster on Tidal Hifi - free trial. Sounds over sanitised. Sax solo on CYHMK sounds incredibly distorted. Give me the original vinyl over it anytime.
Take 2 , try proper spelling this time, quite like this album , 2nd or 3rd listen.
Good to hear some other rhythms.
Billy Gibbons and the BFGs - Perfectamundo
Van Morrison "What's Wrong With This Picture ? "
On CD:-
Streaming | 24/96 WAV
(1981)
Sounding good on this remastered hi-res download.
Bob Dylan "Modern Tines"
I have seen this one a few times on here before and finally listened to it today on Tidal. Very good it is too - and thanks to Nick and Bert for the reminder.
Because it is cool, atmospheric and haunting. Oh....and the lass has a good voice.
Streaming | WAV
(1970)
Remastered in about 2003 for Elektra / Rhino records.
Also a great album, I will also get the other album from Bandcamp - great artist...
An excellent 2007 remaster from 2005 with bonus tracks.
Eleanor Friedberger "Personal Record"
awarded Album of the year at various quality record shops ,, a real grower as they used to say
On CD:-
Portishead, Dummy, WAV CD Rip. Great music with some really interesting noises in the back ground. I never get bored of the first two Portishead albums, Third is ok if I am in the mood.

Asia. Eponymous debut on vinyl from 1982. Not sure why, but I don't hear these songs anymore on radio, etc. Unlike so much of the synthesizer driven pop of the era, Asia had a more developed, sophisticated, and progressive sound. Quite a talented line up.
"Quite a talented line-up" - that's an slight understatement!
James Taylor "Covers" and "More Covers" (ep)
Wonderful recital by star bass-baritone Yevgeny Nikitin. He is ideal in Holländer and Lohengrin, and a promising Wotan - the voice is there (!), but he sings his Abschied Just the tiniest bit too tidy.
Cheers EJ
I'm ashamed to say that this is the first time I've ever listened to this marvellous album:
Looking forward to seeing this lady live in January.
