A very, very long time since I last listened to this album.  Still has its hypnotic quality.

Tietajan Laulu  by Kauan

Kauan have been one of my best finds on Bandcamp, they are Russian and play what might be described as melodic metal. Needless to say, I don't understand a word but the emotion pours through the music. Very much recommended if you are into this genre and they can be checked out here.

Have only listened to the first track, but this is already sounding mighty fine to me.

Epic 4CD boot of LZ's last gig at Earls Court in May 1975. Great soundboard recording. Pity Percy's voice is a bit rough.

A Beacon on the Barrow  by Ice Dragon

Sabbath wannabes but unfortunately they don't really get close.

Ed Sheran, X, my son's choice as we put out playlist together for our imminent trip to Turkey.  It's a good choice though because this is a good album by a gifted artist.  Tidal via Audirvana/Hugo

Because this one brings back a lot of good memories, remastered in '02 and on Tidal I'll probably end up buying it again.
