I haven't heard that, is it any good?

It's not bad.  Obviously not as good as the studio album, as it's live there are little shocks, extra sounds and effects.

Overall sound is a great improvement on some of the live shows, which only goes to show that the engineers can get a good sound to the desk but not necessarily to the stadium/hall.

1972 - Original vinyl... Outakes  and unreleased material.

Thanks, I'll have to have a listen.  I saw them on that tour and thought his voice was a bit shot but musically they were brilliant.  I'll fire Tidal up when I get a minute and try it out.

Released  today - first run via Tidal.

This has taken some time to appreciate, like some of the best albums. It's very good, despite some horrible compression on one or two tracks. 

I haven't played this in a long time, and certainly not on the 250DR .. the texture of the music from the cello is absolutely wonderful.  This album is a winner for a wet afternoon.

Bought this recently, liking some of both Jarrett's and Garbarek's    stuff , but finding it a tad difficult to get into.  CD rip: WAV

Hi BN,  Not sure if you know of this thread from a few years ago.  Fred Simon, a great jazz pianist who at times posts here, makes some learned comments regarding this album.  I found these comments helpful at the time I was first listening to this.  Might be of interest.  regards, Jeff A

Hi Jeff - thanks very much for pointing this thread out - very interesting and I'll certainly be giving the album more  listens whilst reading the detailed descriptions.  I did enjoy the "easier" parts of the album and indeed played a few of the tracks over.  Cheers Nick

One of my favourite's from Zero 7, I've put it on to chillax with its summery sounds and defy the incessant rain showers that have been on and off all day.

What a lovely voice Susan Tedeschi has - I know she is sometimes described as "shouty" but this is a very nice album.  Tidal.

1975 - Original vinyl...

A bit of sunshine outside put me in the mood to listen to Custard Pie. That intro is something- thanks JB. Let us rock! 

One of my close friends absolutely loves Shostakovich, and I've always found his music really difficult. This album, released today, had a good review in The Guardian, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. It's sounding rather fine so far. 

Beautiful record, SQ and music..

(2005)

In the mood for more ambient music and this soundtrack to the Apollo missions documentary is both atmospheric and relaxing. 

Case/Lang/Veirs Live gig official recording from the current tour.

Blondie, Greatest Hits, because it is the delectable Debbie's birthday today and this is the sound of my teens.  Brilliant new wave pop music.  Flac via Audirvana/Hugo 

1972 - Original vinyl... Apart from the usual suspects, Satellite of Love always puts a smile on my face.

This is an excellent new version of Brian Eno's classic Discreet Music from 1975. It's  played on 'proper' instruments rather than the original synthesisers, and is available from Bang on a Can's website for a very reasonable $7.99. If you like ambient or minimalist stuff, it's well worth a spin.

Thanks for the mini review, I'm a big fan of Brian Eno's works. The only Bang On a Can version of Eno's works I have, is Music For Airports. Very much looking forward to hearing this one.
