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;
I'm having a bit of a Shorter morning than usual:
And the superb 'Soothsayer' - it's hard to understand why Blue Note withheld the release of such an essential album
And not played yet, but lined up next:
Staying in the same culture...
A+ | Transcoded DSD
(2012)
Something utterly musical and groovy to enjoy the start of the early afternoon with.
Time for something else, just recently also on offer in 24/192, but not sure if I switch as the original is already pretty decent in sound....
Following Tony's recommendation I thought I'd give this ago. It's good, but a bit too jazz-funk for me. It's a branch of jazz I've never been keen on. There's a very good reggae track though.
Neither playing, nor recommending this, ....................this afternoon is being spent doing a complete strip down and rebuild of Fraim and the rest..................deep joy indeed!
Hopefully, it'll be worth it, and I might be back later with positive thoughts. 
Excellent celestial electronica from this German duo... Sankt Otten
A recommendation from Denis A of this parish..
2012 Double Vinyl.
Ragna Schirmer: Chopin (Etudes OP. No 10) & Corigaliano (Etudes Fantasie for Solo Piano, Fantasia on an Ostinato):
Brian Vander Ark - "Brian Vander Ark" (2008) former leader of The Verve Pipe

Smooth. A couple of great artists who not only meld very well, but in some ways are greater than the sum of their "parts" (I made a musical joke!). This should be in everyone's collection (if they're into this sort of thing).
Mindy Smith - "Long Island Shores" (2006)
Vinyl
Get Behind Me Satan, The White Stripes.................LOUD!
Just spent the afternoon doing a complete strip down of the system + Fraim.....................it's now all back together again, and, amazingly, I still have music. 
Tori Amos - "Royce Hall Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA - April 25, 2005" disc 1 (2005) this was a solo tour, The Beekeeper era
