What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

Just on my second play of the this. The CD arrived attack the weekend and I just got around to ripping it to the NS01. I'm not that keen on vocals on Pat's albums, because it masks what is being played, but there's plenty of variety here. This could be a favourite PMG album.

Bellowhead - Hedonism

Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder - Drei

Some very fine Berlin School electronica. Just two live tracks performed in Cologne and Bologna. Wonderful punchy stuff going on with these synthesisers and sequencers. 

You have made me spend money! Sounds great.

A jazz masterpiece IMHO. 

Inspired by Ewemons choices;

Peggy Lee - Big Spender

Now playing.......

Marc Johnson's Bass Desires - Second Sight

Marc Johnson  (bass), Bill Frisell  (guitar), John Scofield  (guitar), and Peter Erskine  (drums). 

Streaming on NAS....... Arrived in the mail, ripped to NAS and now taking out for a spin!   ......and sounding mighty fine on the opening track!

Neil Young. Comes A Time. On original vinyl from 1978. Takes me straight back to my high school days and hearing these songs for the first time, fresh upon their release. Nicolette Larson's lovely voice the perfect accompanist to NY. 

Still listening to Eno's latest offerings.  It's great late night ambient music.  I ended up buying the standard 6-disc set for around $100 CDN.  You can also buy a deluxe edition - for only $712 CDN on Amazon.  Yikes!  Or stream from Tidal.

Sorry - Music for Installations.

John Mellencamp. Trouble No More. On CD from 2003. Blues and folk music covers spun with Mellencamp's signature heartland rock style. Good stuff. Direct, honest and gritty music.

An impressive artist

Hope you enjoyed it - " Blood and Roses " is a great track...... thanks for posting,going to give my copy a play - haven't played it for years.

Cheers Ian   

A perfect start to a lovely sunny day.

I was introduced to the music of Yes by my older cousin. This album became a lifelong favourite of mine. Today I shall be going to his funeral.

My sympathies Clive.

a further change of listening. Having recently moved I am discovering a lot of old records again. Some rediscoveries have not been as much fun as this it must be said!

Angela Hewitt - Bach: Goldberg variations

 Bloody brilliant debut album By Stephen Stills........ its relentless with the high quilitey of the tracks....."Go Back Home " with Eric Clapton - Erics guitar break is sublime.

Yes, his first two solo albums were just tremendous weren't they?

Tracey Thorn - Record

By way of a preamble to work later. An album that has me reflecting on what I had thought was disposable pop culture, but what if elements of the bands you loved at 20 are still with you in your mid fifties. That's quite enough cod-philosophy for one day, mind.

  Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son.

  Arrived this morning, now ripped and streaming, this album represents a true return to form for Ry, with plenty of that old skool,  

  heavily distorted, slide guitar playing that he does so well.
