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;
Mark Knopfler - Privateering
Spent a while on the Okki Nokki this morning. Now enjoying some old favourites:
And this gem:
My favourite of the studio albums.

Original vinyl...
3 new albums, all bought on vinyl, 2 of them also on CD
First, having seen him live at the Royal Albert Hall, I simply had to have this memento of a genius playing at his relaxed, happy best. This is one of my all time favourite albums.
(There is a 2 CD + 1 DVD version, and a 3 vinyl LP + 1 DVD version - I bought both...)
Second, blast from the past but re-issued in 2014 and I finally caught up with it on vinyl. Talk about electronic music that is ahead of its time - by about 40 years. Can you believe that he did this in 1976?
Finally, last weekend several Naim Forum friends popped round to spin some discs and have a general catch up. Jon brought this one along. It was cool when originally released, then horribly uncool ever since. However, Phil Collins has just re-mastered and re-released it. It may be uncool, but it is a simply brilliant vinyl remaster with tremendous dynamics on it. And I still like the songs...
So 3 hearty vinyl recommendations for you.
Best regards, FT
Original press vinyl. Second solo effort from Can's bass player/engineer/short wave radio magician:
New purchase arrived in post yesterday, first listen, I'm surprised how few of them I recognise apart from the Vince Clark numbers, their simple exuberance is intoxicatingl - making me think I better search out Upstairs at Eric's.
What did Thathcer put in the water in the UK in 1982?

BigH47 posted:Had a listen to BJH - Once Again, I thought the voice was weak not a bad album though, they have made some great music over the years.
Now also via Tidal, after hearing a track on Radio Paradise:-
The Arcs - Yours, Dreamily. I know nothing about them, lead singer sounds bit like the guy from the Artic Monkeys.
Or just like the guy from the Black Keys

Excellent CD rip.
Interesting band Steve. Although I have tried, never managed to get into their music. I do have a couple of records given to me ages ago and I'm going to give them another go. Maybe this time around...
