King Crimson - Lizard
I am just in the mood for this wonderful 'old' album, wonderful moog and synth' sounds that were revelatory at the time. From a fine sounding bog standard original EG label CD.
Kenny Wheeler - GNU HIGH
Great jazz by Kenny Wheeler and the Keith Jarrett trio.
So far no bad album from him...
Listening if it’s worthwhile to upgrade to the newly released high res version of Barenboim...
