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

On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Now Playing......
Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son
Streaming on TIDAL........ Taking this album out for its first spin, a new release in May that I finally getting around to....... and Ry is sounding mighty fine!
Daniel Cavanagh, Monochrome.
From Amazon;
"Inspired by internal feelings of love and loss, 'Monochrome' is a deeply reflective and personal offering. Cavanagh elaborates: "The album has a late night, candlelit feeling, evoking the light of dusk as the summer sun sinks below the horizon, setting the scene for thoughts and meditations that many people will relate to."
I think this is a Very, Very, Good album.
Playing on Vinyl on Restless Records 1986 - American guitary psych from The Wipers
50th Anniversary edition.
Just acquired another one of the 2004 hybrid Can SACDs - this is its first spin. On their fourth album the group seem in a lighter mood than on Tago Mago, but no less intense. As ever it's the drumming that gets you...
Great summer album.
1970 - vinyl - UK first pressing...
Released 2015 - There is a lot going on that impresses, on this album. A true American folk gem. ????
In 1993, New Order's first post-Factory album, Republic, was released - as was the custom of the time (1993) - on vinyl, cassette and CD. In the US, there was also a limited edition CD, The Limited Run, packed artily in a Saville-designed padded silkscreened plastic case.
This is what I'm listening to right now. Made at a very difficult time for the band, it's a patchy album, but at least half of it is very good, and "Special" would be in my Top 10 NO tracks:
Thad Jones - The fabulous Thad Jones
An artist I discovered via this forum. Great jazz from 1954.
- Bass – Charles Mingus
- Drums – Kenny Clarke
- Piano – Hank Jones
- Tenor Saxophone, Flute – Frank Wess
- Trumpet – Thad Jones
Fleetwood Mac, Rumours.
A bit of classic pop on this lovely sunny evening.

Just been thinking about getting that Ewen - is it an improvement on the 2001 version? Are the extras worth having?
Savage Garden,
Time for some more quality pop, all I need is a nice glass of wine to go with it.
Peter Gabriel - So (1986) vinyl. Picked this up today at the used shop. Sounds great and it's in good shape. My original copy went missing over the years.
Julian Lage trio - Bimhuis, July 2018
Nice guitar trio jazz.
Julian Lage: guitar
Jorge Roeder: double bass
Eric Doob: drums
Japanese CD. My favourite Floyd album (yes, I listen to the studio bit as well!)

1971 - vinyl - UK first pressing...
Prichard Thompson Band, Live at Rockpalast, Vinyl
I have this on CD/DVD, I’ve just noticed the vinyl was around, arrived today.. RT on great guitar form with a couple of fine backing bands, Pete Zorn wailing superbly on wind as well. 2 gigs from 1983/1984, reasonable SQ, excellent performances of a lot of his best songs from the period, and some fun R&R. Superb stuff.
Deacon Blue - Our Town :The Greatest Hits.
