On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Playing on Compact Disc - An Eels album all about desire in the human condition from 2009 - as always good music and funny lyrics
An early Tharaud. The pianist takes his music so seriously that he refuses to practice his instrument at home.
Now playing.........

Ralph Towner (guitar, piano, synthesizer), Paul McCandless (piccolo and soprano saxophone, oboe, english horn, bass clarinet), Glen Moore (double bass), Trilok Gurtu (tabla, drums, percussion and voice) and Nancy King (vocals [6]).
Streaming on NAS............. a random pick to kick off Monday morning and the first couple of tracks are working their magic this morning, sounding mighty fine!

Hi Ewen, I can't find it anywhere including his own website, is it being released next year? Cheers.
It is out at the moment. You have to get it direct from the record company Mooji Mala.
They deliver it from Portugal.
It started to become time to have some good Deep Purple in y ears...
Elvis Presley - Second to None
Whether it's fashionable to like Elvis or not, I don't care. He was a spectacular singer and performer. This album includes gems such as 'That's All Right', 'Promised Land' and his superb version of 'A Mess of Blues'.
Well, it had to follow!

Playing on Cassette on TDK SA C60 - Always good hearing some Doors as haven't played any for a while
In 24/96 on Blu-ray. If you're gonna test new speakers, this brilliant album (Chuckles' finest solo effort) is a good one. Sounds amazing through these Dynaudio Special 40s I'm auditioning at home.

Nice jazz from 1960.

Playing on Vinyl on Charisma Records - A fine last studio album by the boys - The album title says it all as they had to honour a deal with Charisma - Very funny in places
