What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)

joerand posted:

Pink Floyd. Music From The Film More (1969). On CD from 1995. A fairly recent addition to my PF catalog that gets better with each listen. Trippy, surreal, and sometimes folksy music with a creative mode and mettle that makes for an engaging album experience.

You do know that people have posted this here several times, don't you Joe? Or, do I have to paint a picture?

Another Christmas purchase i'd not gone round to playing yet. Putting that right (albeit at a lower volume than usual) this morning after watching her on Jools Holland last night. 

A sublime debut. This is going to get played a lot this year. 

Christine And The Queens - Chaleur Humaine

A+ | Transcoded DSD

(1993)

My first of the new year and this one is ripped from an original Reprise label CD, great SQ and well recorded, produced by Walter Becker.

Great album which i've not played in a while. One for later i think 

Happy New Year to all

The Drive-By Truckers’ American Band Is the Perfect Album for the Year of Trump. 

With songs about racism, police shootings, and immigration, the Southern group is making rock great again.

First album play of 2017 (to cleanse my ears of the hideousness of having to lisaten to Robbie fcuking Williams) is this masterpiece by Mr Callier from '72...

That's a great cover, Kev. 

Happy New Year!

A bit of an improvement on your May Blitz sleeve T . Happy New Year to you too.

Great young band, hope to see them live somewhere this year.....

Now moving on to another young exciting trio....

I really want to buy this album on HD, but can't find it on the usual sites (Qobuz & HD Tracks etc). Anyone know if its available as a HD download? I thought she was superb on Jools Holland last night.

Starting the new year with a perennial favourite: Caravan, 'Cunning Stunts'

Time for a change of mood. Wildflower by The Avalanches, on deluxe LP:

My first listen to Joanna this year, it certainly won't be the last.

Happy New Year to everyone.

If you hadn't yet realised, I'm enjoying very much this Camel and Caravan period at the moment.

I too really enjoyed the Canterbury scene Clive. I saw Caravan at the Fairfield Halls in the early 70's (just a few stops on the train) so this could well be that gig. I'll see if I can find the album. Thanks! 

Sadly I missed them when they visited the Assembly Rooms in Tunbridge Wells to promote the Cunning Stunts album (although it might have been the St Dunstan's album). However, I did get to see them a year or so back when they were touring the Paradise Filter album. Although it was quite enjoyable, it didn't have the magic which I'm sure I missed in the mid 70s.
