I like it but haven't played it much.

At the moment, and for some time, this and Fires by Nerina Pallot, are my two go to albums by female artists.  I love them both,

Well, David, I've never heard of this lady but your ranking along with Fires is encouragement enough for me to give it a punt. Mike

Getting the Led out.  I still prefer Led Zep II but bits of this are beautiful and it sounds gorgeous.  24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

Started off the evening with The Feelgoods live album "Stupidity"...............rock on Wilko!

So, feeling the need to stay front row and centre, another live one.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense.

Often lauded as one of the all time great live albums.................can't argue with that.................rock on David & the band.

Reminiscing the great gig last Saturday in Guildford

A+ | Transcoded DSD

(1994)

This is pretty much the album where BBT developed their now familiar prog style. The themes of s(better) age gone by in England continue to be lamented in their current albums today, a slightly different line up for the band here but the sound is familiar.

I've put the lack of early PG albums in my collection right with the purchase of PG 1 through to 4.

All ripped and presently enjoying Peter Gabriel 3

Talking Heads - Little Creatures.

Same as it ever was....................

Posted on: 02 November 2016 by dave marshall

Talking Heads - True Stories.

That's the thing, I find, with Talking Heads ..................once you've started down that road to nowhere, there's no escaping. 

Mind you, they were a bit good, innit?

Bonsoir

Last one tonight, and a magical one it is too

Robert Cray, Bad Influence.

Blyth Power, The Barman and Other Stories. I used to go and see this band regularly many years ago. Great fun folk/rock. On Tidal.

On vinyl.  Probably not his greatest effort.  The LP in this case is superior to the CD.

This album might have the best version of In Memory of Elizabeth Reed I've heard - really enjoyed this one too as I have fleshed out my ABB collection, inasmuch as they are a top 5 fave band.
