A bit more pace. Really good. Rousing.

I have been listening to Harry Shearer sitting in for Jarvis Cocker on R6 Music the past few weeks and he played a track by Judith Owen. I have been investigating! This is a fine album. And Ms Owen is also Mrs Shearer! Very seventies singer songwriter with some very fine musicians. I like it a lot.

Fifty years ago they were legitimately a part of the sound of the sixties music revolution and their music was not bad as bad as some would have you believe.

The new Scott Walker

What do you think, Ewe? I think it's terrific (if a bit short).

Queen, Queen 2, unmistakably Queen but before they became more commercial.  My wife hates this album despite loving Queen but it's one of my faves and has some really atmospheric and emotional songs on it.  Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

Enjoying the 96khz version which sounds excellent through the NDX/TT/250DR. I always preferred my first press cd before as the hires was to toppy with Ndac. This is a whole lot more resolved.
