What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
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 - A country tinged masterpiece from the satanic majesties wrapping things up nicely.
Double vinyl. Some very fierce stuff on here.
Colin Davis, LSO - Handel Messiah - Vinyl
A very appropriate piece for the time of year. Nice to think that darkness is turning into light again.

Their best album, in my view, Ian.
Tidal playing the tracks with a mind of its own for some strange reason...totally random.

MDS, my thoughts exactly when I played it this morning.
I seem to be drawn to playing a lot of Natalie Merchant's music lately.
The first albums of this guy are quite good, I don’t like his last one so much...
Ok not amazing...
Quite interesting modern jazz...
Nice jazz trio, sound pretty dynamic..
Difficult to describe, very innovative jazz like music...sometimes sounding electronic, some elements of big band and other things, could be interesting for the more adventurous ones on the forum...

Lizz Wright will do very nicely to settle back with and relax to as Chrimbo shopping and all sundry necessities (hopefully) are all now in hand...
Finished work for the Xmas holi-pops , 16 days off before I return, neighbours are out and this piece of 40 year old vinyl is sounding mighty fine on the old fruit box

“Very fierce stuff” - a rather good description!
