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:
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - CD (DGM0501 remastered 2004)
It arrived this morning. Well worth the wait! Clive, thank you for mobilising me into action! It sounds familiar. It certainly is a masterpiece of prog rock. I like it, and the 282 is doing it justice apart from the drums which lack timbre, but only 36 hours since a month’s rest for the 282 and I don’t have a benchmark for the sound of this album.

Glad you're enjoying it, Phil. I might just move into that after RP. I will play the CD Zversion through the NDS this time as I'm getting used to firmware v4.6.
Jan Prax quartet - ascending
- Jan Prax - Sax
- Martin Sörös - Piano & Fender Rhodes
- Tilman Oberbeck - Bass
- Michael Mischl - Drums
The Spencer Davis Group - Classic.
The young Steve Winwood belts out not just the hits, but also plenty of soul and R 'n B choons too.
Well I did follow Phil's lead into ITCOTCK, and am now following that with the next KC album, In The Wake Of Poseidon, which I think is the only other KC album with Greg Lake playing and singing. Not as instantly accessible, but most enjoyable all the same.

As far as industrial music goes, this one is a gem. May not appeal to many here - it's an acquired taste.
docmark, if by chance you don't know them you could give Revolting C**ks a go, a band very much in the Ministry mould!
Warm up before tonight's Fever Ray concert 
On vinyl. No particular reason, but this is my favourite latterday Dylan album. The man himself seems to agree, as his live sets in the past two or three years have drawn heavily from this record.

Perhaps ITCOTCK sounds familiar because of Greg Lake’s haunting voice.

This guy was the shizzle...

More from his Bobness, on a UK second press vinyl LP. "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here with You" is one of my very favourite Dylan songs:
