I listen to the below Radio station, I hear new music every day (to date I have not heard anything twice but then its not so easy to recognise with Ariabian instrumental music..!) for me its a revelation and love all those ethnic instruments used (a test for systems sonic qualities).  The rythms are wonderful and the tunes are endless journeys of discoveries.  Sometimes there is a sort of fusion music between Spanish guitar music and Arabian rythms which works musically really well.

Bought this Cd a couple of weeks ago, Bert. My goodness, what an incredible sounding album , both production wise (one of the best I've ever heard in this department) and vocally. Very highly recommended to forumites.

The SACD is even better sounding than the normal cd. Simply stunning

Eric Clapton - Me and Mr Johnson

Um, I've done a shift, I'm cooking with a glass of cold, dry white. I'm giving it a few watts.

B Ferry - Dylanesque

Always loved his interpretations of Dylan. It started with A Hard Rain's.... on These Foolish Things in what seems like a lifetime ago.

ECM has finally released Schiff's nearly-decade-year-old Beethoven sonata cycle in a box, which is cause for celebration. That cycle he played on a Steinway and a Bösendorfer, more recently he's turned to the fortepiano for music from the period, as here for a recital of 'late' Schubert works, played naturally and with tenderness.

Cheers

The Kinks. State Of Confusion. On original vinyl from 1983. A very good album with very good SQ. Last of the band's worthy studio output as far as I'm concerned.

A relaxing, calming ambient post-rock album by musicformessier downloaded in 24/44.1 FLAC, makes for an easy way to ease into the week. This guitar and synth' led release is by the creator of other projects such as Black Hill and Silent Island, István Csarnogurszky.

Starting the week with this

Kraftwerk - Computer World

Posted on: 28 November 2016 by dave marshall

George Thorogood and the Destroyers - I'm Wanted.

Yet again, George and the chaps lifting the gloom in overcast North Yorks.

Overall, one of his best albums........................worth a listen for all blues rock fans.
