What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
A little inspiration from the Sepultura post from earlier. I've seen Sepultura 3 times on tour with Ozzy. Max is great!
The Steve Miller Band. Book Of Dreams. On original vinyl from 1977. Might be Stevie's best album? Standard fare for me on 8-track while driving to high school back in the day.
The Band. Greatest Hits. On CD from 2000. Though I feel The Band is best appreciated on original vinyl, this is a nice compilation with good SQ and a great primer into their music.

Tidal washes in nicely to fill a gap in my YB collection.
Had this one on last night, very enjoyable and special kind of jazz vocalist...

Great album - the sound of a man still enjoying what he does best.

I've not listened to this in ages. One for tonight 
A new purchase for me and a first listen.
Been on a bit of a soul / funk groove recently... 
Shaft (1971 UK 15-track double LP, featuring the music from the movie soundtrack written & performed by Isaac Hayes.
When the system is singing this sounds superb!

Coincidentally I was wandering around shopping in Sainsburys earlier today with this theme tune going round inside my head... I must give it a spin soon.

Another really good album from APC, Maynard James Keenan seems to do no wrong with whatever band he fronts and associates with, Tool, A Perfect Circle and latterly Puscifer are all well worth discovering.
Disc 2 from this set. Surprisingly good reproduction quality. The Green Manalishi sounding particularly good
