Just ripping and copying this across so looking forward to giving this a listen later. 

Just the night my NAS wants to do a File System Check on boot up.

Anyway whilst it's finishing what it's doing i've got this classic cued up on the Melco

This arrived today as a secondhand cd for £2. What a wonderful album, recorded to two track tape in 1953.

This is a stunning solo album from the wonderful John Taylor. It's a great recording, and as real a piano sound as I've heard for a while.

A wonderful new recording by Christiane Karg and Romina Basso.

I'd love this hear this on the main rig. Alan Curtis was an underrated Handel conductor, never flashy, but with a lot of longevity.

The singing, especially in the duets, is really lovely. I don't need to know why you cannot play it on the main rig, but it's something to look forward to when you can. A beautiful album.

Steely Dan. Katy Lied. On the original rainbow label ABC Records vinyl from 1975. I like Dan's earlier music and this, their fourth album, is right in the band's wheelhouse for my tastes. Superb SQ a given.

That's my favourite Dan album, and I used to have the original 1975 pressing too. It never seemed to get the critical recognition that some of the others received for some reason.

Thanks HH - there is no particular reason why I cannot, just a combination of too much quality time at work and not enough quality time at home.

Great : )

The Pixies new album

Very relaxing in parts.  CD rip.

And earlier - must be one of the greatest British reggae albums. 1981.

Gazpacho, March of Ghosts. This album really is superb, Great music and lovely SQ. I love that they only sound like Gazpacho!
