Don't have that one Steve, it's his new one.

I heard the one before it wasn't that good so didn't bother with it.

Do you know how it compares to his earlier albums?

Cheers,

Andy.

Dream because the word shows up on so many of the song's titles and on top of this, it is a dream album for anyone who appreciates jazz trios. The sound on the Venus label is dynamic and warm. Released in 2001, one year before Hanna passed away at the age of 70.

I'm afraid I can't help you Andy, unfortunately I'm pretty new to RLM and this album is the only one of his I know (for now), I like it a lot but I can't make a comparison for you. Try this link to "the River" there are more than twenty comments on the album https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ourob...ords=ray+la+montagne

If you have Tidal or the like you could try it there, if not then try here:

All the best, I'm certainly going to be exploring a lot more of his albums, so much music so little time!

The Presidents of the United States of America. Eponymous debut on CD from 1995. Fantastic grunge/alternative music. Unfortunately the band's subsequent releases never approached the brilliance of their first album.

Might be the modified content warning

I haven't got round to this one yet. What do you think of it?

Posted on: 24 June 2016 by joerand

Green Day. American Idiot. On CD from 2004. One of this century's most powerful rock albums. Also among my favorite rock operas.

Had it again on. Difficult stuff, which requires multiple runs. The beauty of Tidal - will try it out multiple times and will then decide if I buy or not...
