What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Getting a proper listen of this today on my portable setup. Just finished Act 1 and onto Act 2. Very enjoyable and it must have been a fantastic show for anyone lucky enough to get tickets. SQ, as others have noted, is rather bass heavy and it reminds me of a typical Kate Bush album recording (no bad thing really) - rather warm and laid back.

(1973)
A virtual grab from the virtual library to give it an actual play.
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love
Because I was playing EBTG "Acoustic" via Tidal (following an earlier post) which has a version of "Tougher than the rest"
and I thought I ought to give the Boss's original a spin. I'm not a big Springsteen aficionado but I do like this album ( and also "The Rising" among others)
1981 - Original vinyl...
A+ | Transcoded DSD
(2015)
Because Mgta make great black metal and this one is probably their best... and yes, there is growling.
On CD:-
Bruce Springsteen - Devils & Dust. 1995 CD rip.
While I'm in the mode - fairly stripped-down Springsteen, which I prefer to his more full on stuff.
LEONARD COHEN Field Commander Cohen Tour Of 1979.
This is a great sounding live recording of a concert I wish I had seen....CD
Switch to Jazz. Brian Blade - Landmarks . 2014. CD RIP. Come back to this one quite a lot - nice groove & expansive quintet sound.
Hungryhalibut posted:AC/DC Platinum Hits is something of an oxymoron, even more so than Rush's Greatest Hits, released on a CD single.
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment.
Why?
Well, they're the best of Leeds, and I'm simply trying to cast a lucky spell, before I sign off in an hour to watch the big footy match this evening. 
A+ | Transcoded DSD
(2006)
Highway Companion - Tom Petty
Nice stripped back acoustic and lyrics, an album that Jeff Lynne produced, something I had totally forgotten until reading the notes and hearing the Lynne "signature".
1982 - Original vinyl...
Best album of the trilogy(Discipline - Beat - Three of A Perfect Pair) and the same lineup which is rare.
Adrian Belew – electric guitar, lead vocals
Robert Fripp – electric guitar
Tony Levin – Bass
Bill Bruford – drums
Calexico - Carried to Dust. CD rip.
Another great album by the Australian brother and sister duo.
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob.
Sorry chaps, but we are playing the Scousers at the footy tonight, and this is something of a token lucky rabbit's foot. 
The Mission, Another Fall From Grace on CD.
Liking this New Album a lot. An interesting review here; http://www.patchchordnews.com/...-another-fall-grace/
Possibly their best album in ages.
