Ewen, what do you think ?  I am an Orton fan but this is not released in the US until next Friday.  regards, Jeff A

(2012) CD    Karen Peris - Violet 

Very recent purchase.  First listen last night.  Karen is from the trio Innocence Mission.  First listen felt it ended a bit abruptly, as if it could have another song or two. 

Hi Pat, I would not have known her by name but enjoy her voice in the IM releases so will check this out.  Ten songs in 20 minutes is an EP length, no wonder it sounded abrupt when over.  Thanks.  Hope you are doing well.  regards, Jeff A

[Part of] the vinyl portion of the 20th anniversary box set:

1977 - original vinyl...

I don't normally comment on pre-releases Jeff but since it is you.  She uses a fair amount of electronic beats and samples on this one.

Must admit I didn't like it first time around but it seems to be growing on me. Would I personally buy it, no, but it is certainly worth a listen and different from what she has done in the past.

Tony did you catch him on the Jools show doing Lust it was rather good.

This gives you an idea of what the album is like.

Thanks, I will check it out.  Jeff A

edit - that is weird, when I reply your video on your post goes blank on my screen, but it shows up on my reply screen.

Yes, Graham. Visually unsettling and I don't  know where he gets the energy. Surely not from the same stuff back in the days. Or, is it?  Fruitcake!

I made the wrong assumption it was released over there.  UK often gets stuff before we do.  Sorry to put you in that position, thanks for the info.  Jeff A

1980s vinyl. Inspired by Grahem (Quad 33) above:

Jeff you have no need to apologise as I wouldn't have done it if I had been told I wasn't allowed to.

Ranging from reflective to rocking, this is an excellent new release. 

David Bazan  -  "Blanco"  -  newest release from Pedro The Lion alum and Barsuk Records artist

Excellent Music...CD

Live trio jazz simply doesn't get much better than this stellar performance and recording.

re: Beth Orton.  Okay, E, I understand, thanks again for the info.  The song on the video is not unlike some of the tracks I have on her Collections 2-disc release.  But she quickly moved away from what Tucker Martine did with her on Sugaring Season.  I don't mind the change, I like both.  Jeff A

This one is also pretty pleasant...

Right now listening to this one...

On clear Vinyl

Bandcamp download - following Stevee's earlier recommendation.  Atmospheric layered guitar music - very listenable whilst relaxing after running.
