Forgotten how much I like this LP
Final listen of the weekend to some more of this. Lovely, lovely set of 4 albums, 37 tracks, immaculate playing and production. Currently only £6.47 on Qobuz. When it's gone it's gone ....
As It Was
Peter Erskine, John Taylor & Palle Danielsson
Edit - forgot to re-iterate my thanks to HH for pointing this one out.

A prog rock band I hadn't listened to before, I'm enjoying this one, thanks for the heads up J.N. and Ian F.
Gary Moore - After Hours.
Cooling things down a touch with the last one of today. 
Calamus: The Splendour of Al-Andalus
A collection of Andalusian pieces performed by members of the Paniagua family of Madrid, Spain. Andalusian music developed from the mid-7th through the end of the 15th century in the southern area of Spain controlled by Muslims who originally came from North Africa and as far away as Iraq.

This is such very good music and a super album, the blend of medieval music and Moorish North African music from the same era is magical.

Steve,
The Paniagua family is exceptional. Another magical recordings by them:
On vinyl...

Busy weekend so not much time for listening so a quick 80s blast before bed. Vinyl

Unfortunately only for the U.K. Based guys, the non Brexit countries are paying 22 euros which is still ok, but not attractive when you already have 2 out of 4 albums....

Instrumental rock with a song kind of feeling...
The first song is very beautiful, the rest of the album is by the way also not bad...

This one continuing to get a lot of play here, upbeat, psychedelic and well measured. Good stuff indeed.

Thanks for this recommendation ("Gary Shaw") the back cover says a lot, I'm actually surprised that it died a commercial death in '69, its the sort of off piste record that could have made it. Enjoyable and good to see its been re-released.

Good hard grungy rock from this Portsmouth outfit, well worth a try if you're in the mood...

Not played that for ages. One to go on the playlist for later
Ok it can't hide its late 80's style but it's still a good listen today...
Terence Trent D'arby - Introducing The Hardline According To
I found this (Laura Shay - Blue Light Sessions) on Tidal after a tip from Jeff about Laura Shay's Bittersweet album. Having listened to this all the way through a couple of times now, I would thoroughly recommend it. This has apparently been recorded live in what sounds like a very small venue with a rather small audience judging by the sparse applause after each song. However someone has done a nice recording and production job all things considered.
I have also ordered Bittersweet from the river and looking forward to it's arrival.
