Carols dating from the baroque period, sung by a truly excellent children's choir.

Colourbox, 1985

 A few days ago I pulled out Colourbox's first (and sadly, only) LP. I enjoyed it so much - did 4AD put out a better pure pop song than "Suspicion"? - that I decided to revist it, but this time on cassette. The tape version had an extra album's worth of splendid stuff not on the vinyl or CD, like "Fast Dump", Manic II", "Sex Gun", etc.

On the Nak it sounds surprisingly good, especially when one considers that it's 31 years old...

A+ | Transcoded DSD

(1972)

In the mood for a bit of Yes, this was their 4th studio album and the first to include twinkle fingers Rick Wakeman.

That, and Close to the Edge were my favourite Yes albums. They remind me so much of schooldays. I don't own them now, perhaps I should.

Following Nils Petter Molvær, more loops and digital dooings, in a good way. Another forum recommendation, thank you.
