Hall & Oates - Beauty On The Backstreet 

Onward with perhaps their best album which holds a lot of great memories for me.

Worked on a couple of gigs on one of their UK tours once and on both nights they were brilliant. 

I heard the last album of these guys which was super...

Lee Konitz - Live-Lee

• Lee Konitz - Sax
• Alan Broadbent - Piano

Great live recording. 

King Crimson

Live in Vienna - Qobuz Streaming

listening to some of today’s new albums and had to play this.

Great album. My first DP album and as a teenager I played it so much I wore out some of the songs.

I played that a lot as a teenager too. Now, as an old retired git, it’s this...

Happy days, Nigel.  Over the years I've found that my tastes in music haven't so much changed as broadened enormously.  In other words, I still enjoy the stuff from my teens but now enjoy lots of other stuff too.  Maybe we become more open-minded with age

I think we do. Some of the stuff I liked in 1975, such as ELP and other prog stuff, and even Uriah Heep - I was young and the quality threshold was low - I cannot listen to now, I just can’t abide it. But I still like Made in Japan and Machine Head. Similarly, a lot of the punk and post punk I loved does nothing for me now. I’m much more likely to be listening to jazz or classical these days, but Nick Cave and of course the mighty Smiths can still be heard at a volume to irritate the neighbours. And much more of course. 

Paul Simon - Rhythm of  the Saints, a worthy follow up to Graceland but I seem to appreciate the songs better on Graceland.

I need a pair of DBLs!

First run. Recorded in concert last month and released this morning, DG didn't waste time with this third installment of Nelson's Bruckner cycle. The performance is as lean and focused as Nelson's earlier recordings of the 3rd and 4th, but as the 7th is much more famous, there is more intense competition. I wasn't grabbed by the performance immediately as I was by Haitink's '78 performance (the one that never made it into any box sets) or Karajan's 1989 performance (his final recording). But like Sinopoli, I do love how Nelsons finds the lyric threads and pulls them through the movements, while building the musical cathedral as context around them. Also impressively, the stop-go nature that can be rather insistent in this work, is used to its advantage. There is plenty of emotional pay-off too, as tension is released in controlled bursts. 

The opening track, Siegfried's funeral march from Götterdämmerung, is gorgeous. 

...at least, that's what I think after listening this on my mac, through headphones. I'm in between amplifiers at the moment and will have to wait a few weeks before I can properly fill the room and scare wife and kids again. Can't wait!

Cheers

Restoration : The Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin - WAV CD Rip

2nd listen through,of,today’s release, various country artists performing some Elton/Bernie classic songs. Damn those guys gave us some wonderful songs. On the diets listen the standout performances were Chris Stapleton, Don Henley & Vince Gill, Kacey Musgrave, Lee Ann Womack. Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton, and a great playout from Dierks Bentley, Roseanne Cash & Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson. Given that’s about 2/3 of the album, I’m pretty impressed, great songs with varied interpretations.
