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:
I've been listening to this one a lot in recent weeks - the new album from Tord Gustavsen Trio out Aug 31- as always the standard from this trio and ECM is superb.
Bought this a few years ago, must have played it once as I found one of our dead cat's hairs on one side.
Blue vinyl for heaven's sake - looks awful, sounds a bit harsh in all honesty, change of direction for the band with a few good tracks which were probably better realised live.

Etta James - Blues To The Bone.
I posted this a couple of days ago, and now that I've had the chance for a proper listen ............... WOW!
Old skool down and dirty blooze classics .................... highly recommended, and available from The River for not much at all.
It's there on yon Tidal thingy, and if you like blues, you owe it to yourself to have a listen.
Gave it a listen earlier today via Tidal, sounds great. Ordered a copy for my own from The River.
Van Morrison - Common One.
Devo - Are We Not Men? (1978). Original release marble vinyl. Why not, haven't played this in over 30 years and it's Friday night.
Vinyl released 1971 - It's no disgrace owning this album (Sorry) ???? Great stuff. ????
As the night goes on, neighbours away (hopefully), it gets louder and music gets louder...
A bit of classic Tom of a ffss pressing, superb:
Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson - Very Tall.
David Gilmour - David Gilmour (1978). Recent purchase, ripped and streaming. I have not heard this before now. First track is definitely Pink Floyd. More chilled than Devo 
. Released the same year as Devo - Are We Not Men, David stands the test of time. Devo? mmm no.

Adrian, I admire your consistency. I have already reached the point of saturation with so many ECM artists like keith Jarrett, Anuar Brahem, Charles Lloyd, Garbarek and Gustavsen that I just stick to the albums I already own and have no urge to expand the inventory.

Brilliant live band.
Now Playing........
Sting - Mercury Falling
Streaming on NAS.......... One of my favorite Sting albums, love how the songs blend together, then there is Dominic Miller on guitar, Brandford Marsalis on saxophone along with the Memphis Horns and a host of others, some fine tracks!
Vinyl released 1971 - Superb debut album from Croz. ????
UK first press vinyl, being given a spin for obvious reasons:
Playing on Vinyl - Very relaxing Vivaldi Lute piece - Perfect to get Saturday morning going with the music
Now available to stream also in TIDAL

Not released in the UK till 31/08 so you are fortunate to have had an early listen.
It's easy to play only new releases and neglect the classics…
[The Atlantic Years In Mono]
Vinyl released 1978 - Great album from a great artist sadly missed. ????
