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

Neil Young. Harvest (1972). On HDCD from 2000. I'm enjoying another evening of dedicated HP listening. Starting with something old and familiar, one of Neil's best.

The B-52's. Time Capsule: Songs For A Future Generation. On HDCD from 1998. Progressive art pop. Tight, fast, punctual. Music that's as original and creative as it is good. Hopefully future generations will appreciate it.

Suzanne Vega. 99.9 F°. On CD from 1992. The song-writing, music, vocals, instrumentation, and SQ - everything about this album is brilliant.

Steely Dan. Everything Must Go. On CD from 2003. First listen. All the expected SQ, pretty much on par with the other post-original Dan CD I have "Two Against Nature". I prefer the band's original stuff from 1980 and before.

On CD:-

Nosound - Scintilla

Started with something elegant this morning...

Now turning it a bit up..

Thin Lizzy - Nightlfe

Hi Ewemon

Saw her live a little while ago, so I've been waiting for this new release. How do you think it compares to her last LP?

Nigel

Jan Willem de Vriend & The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven Symphonies 2 & 3

Normally not so into jazz violin, but this sounds rather special...

Gimme Shelter: Kaleidoscopic Funk Collision. Good compilation with a standout version of Gimme Shelter by Merry Clayton, backup singer on the Stones' version.

Not allowed to comment Nigel.

Sons of Kemet - Your Queen is a Reptile

First listen, but it will take a few more. No idea as to how to describe what I'm listening to other than I believe jazz is involved. 

Escalators and falling up them initially springs to mind but not every track which is a bonus.

I will persist.

CD....The Departed 2006 American crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese and written by William Monahan. 

Been meaning to play this EP since April when Paul Jones did his last radio blues show. I still like his 'Watermelon Man' !

Maybe a bit too early in the day to put this on ??

Nice Jazz  with a lot of xylophone - Got this in a goody bag at a dealer - Naim  event  a few years - Playing on Compact Disc on The Naim Label

Had to follow EP up with this one - 55 years ago !?

Now Playing.......

Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Awase

Nik Bärtsch  (piano), Sha  (bass clarinet, alto saxophone), Thomy Jordi  (bass) and Kaspar Rast  (drums).

Streaming on NAS........ waking up this Sunday morning with this precision groove quartet, wonderful music to sit with a cup of coffee and let the music flow........  sounding fantastic this morning!

You dont need me to shout about this one.
