Have been listening to this. One of the better progressive rock/metal, post rock outings of this year. From Bandcamp - recommended....

Later listen to Gerard Masters Trio. A good jazz trio. The attached video doesn't do so much right to his recent work. Also from bandcamp

I was aware that you have more than one, and for sure MAH.

2016 - Tidal...

Raw and chaotic like the news and the world he's " singing" about and trying to portrait.

The critics hate it, I love it!

I bet that's a belter Kevin. I'm a huge Julie London fan but don't have any vinyl.

Yes Tony, the SQ is amazing - good choice of tunes too, and the arrangements are great. You can pick up a lot of her vinyl pretty cheaply, she's not hugely in fashion at the moment...

Tony's got me in a Julie mood. Here she is on an early 70s UK compilation on Sunset Records:

Gerry Rafferty - City to City.

A gentle start to the evening's listening ..................... a classic.

Thought it was time to fire up the Nak Dragon and play this, from 1991 and on ROIR - James Chance & The Contortions' Soul Exorcism.

It's a recording of a fantastic show from 1980, in Holland. Punchy, noisy stuff - surprisingly good SQ for a 25 year old cassette.

Tape hiss rules!

First play of the recently released 3LP version of this great live album. The greatest rhythm section in rock 'n' roll history sounding very realistic indeed.

I have to confess that I have touched the ugly season topic with this album, it will not happen often anymore.....

A little bit of festive Jazz....
