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:
This is a super new album. An ambient/electronica/classical hybrid. Imgur is fine here by the way.
Bandcamp 16/44 file. Because I love it!
Men At Work - Cargo.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic.
An original UK ABC/Probe Issue. I'm sure quite a number of Naim forum members have a copy of this at home. This one is showing its age a bit in places - it has been much played over the years - but it still sounds really good. I have a few copies of this one, which is probably my favourite album from the Dan. The original US issue may be better still, but my old US 2nd issue sounded flat and despite looking good, was a bit "wooshy". I wonder whether we'll ever see a top drawer vinyl reissue. I have read that maybe the tapes have had it. Maybe it will have to come from the '80s digital remasters. Or perhaps Mr Fagan will surprise us...
The Rolling Stones - Shine A Light, a live set from '06 recorded at the Beacon Theater in New York with a smattering of guests.
Bob the Builder posted:Pete Townsend & Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix - Vinyl 1st press Polydor 1977.
One of my very, very favourite records.....
I'll second that 
Eric Clapton
Unplugged [Expanded & Remastered 2013] CD Rip
Edward
Santana - Moonflower, why? because I wanted to hear the live version of "Soul Sacrifice" that incorporates a rather nifty drum interlude from the two percussionists and drummer.

Boz Scaggs - A Fool to Care
Streaming on NAS........... a recent arrival, now ripped to NAS and taking it out for a spin. Love the album after listening to it on TIDAL, and Boz is sounding mighty fine right now!
Now Playing...........
Rickie Lee ones - The Evening of My Best Day
Streaming on NAS........... recent arrival in the mail, now ripped to NAS and taking out for a spin. This is one fantastic album, lots of guests with great music and lyrics!
John Mellencamp. Self-titled fifteenth studio album. On HDCD from 1998. An album that shows a lot of artistic growth since the days of Jack & Diane.
Pearl Jam. Vitalogy. An fresh meld of grunge, alternative and rock music with an avant-garde signature.
Now Playing......
Stefano Bollani Quintet - Joy In Spite of Everything
Stefano Bollani (piano), Jesper Bodilsen (double bass), Morten Lund (drums), Mark Turner (tenor saxophone) and Bill Frisell (guitar).
Streaming on NAS......... Love this album, lots of joy, starting with the opening track 'Easy Healing' and love Bill Frisell's guitar interaction with Stefano's piano on the opening track as well. The interplay between the whole quintet is fantastic!
Bonnie Raitt. Luck Of The Draw. Digipak CD from 1991. An album heavy on the production side, the faster rock tracks engage. The slower ballads too pensive.
