What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)

James Taylor -Hourglass.  Yesterday's arrival from the outrageously expensive 2nd hand CD source. Great Sunday morning listening.

You appear to be in a deep jazz groove at the moment, Ewemon. This is great to see.

As I mentioned in an earlier post Clive I have over 1k of jazz albums but rarely play them so am just reaquainting myself with a number of titles.

I do multi room mode here too.............................just open the doors, and TURN IT UP! 

Big Big Train - English Electric - Full Power.  Bandcamp download.  Just need a pint of warm beer to go along with this (bit early perhaps). 

With the first coffee of the day.

John Coltrane - Blue Train

To help some ironing along. CD rip.

Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon - Sixty Six Steps.  Leo Kottke generally - well worth listening to.

Luke Howard Trio - The Electric Night Descends.  Bandcamp download.  Haven't played this for a while.  One of my favourite  albums of the year.

Dylan's Fallen Angels on vinyl. A  birthday present from SHMBO. Not quite what I'd expect from Bob but have to admit to enjoying it. Nicely recorded album

Excellent from start to finish. Young integrates well with the Trio...even singing at one point.

ry cooder - bop till you drop

Someone posted this a few days ago and reminded me what a great album it is.  Had it on vinyl many moons ago.  Revisiting it on Tidal. 

Wish You Were Here - another  birthday pressie - the new vinyl release. Excellent and nice to hear without all the clicks and pops my original copy has always had.Only critism is having to almost prise it out of the cardboard inner sleeve as was so tight. A brilliant album and this vinyl release sounds so much better than the last cd one I bought. 

Nicely engineered screaming. Calm down Roger.

Onto the new vinyl release of meddle. Probably the best I've ever heard this album sound. Always thought the cd version sounded dated, but this one sounds so clear and fresh. Enjoying meddle more than ever have in 40 years.

Getz - Jazz Samba Encore on mono vinyl.

Sleaford Mods - TCR on stereo vinyl.

Doug, thanks a lot.

Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live - the analogue production 200g vinyl album - last of my birthday albums. Often feel Nils is underrated. This is a superb album and well worth a listen for most people. This release is expensive but worth it. Wish all music reproduction could be as good as this. Crystal clear, aatmospheric, and totally silent vinyl. Different class to the cd version I have.

On CD:-

Cara Dillon - After The Morning

On CD:-

Frank Zappa - Broadway The Hard Way
