          Supertramp - Breakfast in America.

            Paddy Murphy - Dog's Dinner.

This seems more likely, methinks.

America - Homecoming

I had it in mind to say something glib about a kinder, gentler America. Better to say that Ventura Highway is sublime.

Haven't played this for over 15 years! Still sounding great to these ears.

Rounding the evening off with some trombone jazz from Ray Anderson. Another one from my collection which hasn't seen the light of day for over 20 years. I think I first heard it on Helen Mayhew's Dinner Jazz programme on Jazz FM when it used to play jazz.

I love this thread, built for Tidal...

Thanks for Art Blakey, led me back to the rich treasure trove that is Rudy van Gelder; all sounding fine as I slowly work through mostly reaffirming things I like as well as things not accessible (I'm looking at you Eric Dolphy). 

Thanks for Otis Taylor, had a go at White African, but Tidal seemed to jump to the next track midway through each song, so now steeped in Hey Joe; reminded of Alvin Youngblood Hart for those into rougher urban blues. 

Rediscovered a bunch of Japan, Sylvian, Karn, and found Rain Tree Crow which I never found back in the day  something worth re-examining for those looking at melodic program / trance / not-quite-ambient.

Good few hours this has been, really liking the system and these discoveries.

Essentially this was part of the Logos album tour, a very well recorded boot of a good concert performed by Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Johannes Schmoelling.

Bit of a "grower" for me......took a few listens over a period of time....guess my mood wasn't right before

An excellent soundtrack album that seems to nicely fit the dank misty day here.

Black Mountain are ace, as are Sinoia Caves, which is keyboardist Jeremy Schmidt's solo electronica outfit.
