   Free - Live!

   Catching up on a backlog of CD ripping, as my HDX returned home today, fully re-Naimed, and this version of the album,

   with extra tracks, is well worth getting hold of, even if you already have the original.

   The track "Moonshine" is, as they say, "worth the price of admission alone".

    It's there on Tidal, so I urge any Free fans to have a listen.

One of the best bands I ever saw live and also one of the worst. Go figure.

Possibly my fav band of all time. I must have played this album thousands of times over the years.

She doesn’t do the dreamy Noctures, but does interesting phrasing etc..., I have to listen this another time...

Camerata trio - Bach: Goldberg variations

Bach's Goldberg variations wonderfully played by the Camerata string trio.

Annebeth Webb (violin), Jeroen Woudstra (viola) and Honorine Schaeffer (violoncello).

Bach’s suites for unaccompanied cello, transcribed for viola and played by the always wonderful Kim Kashkashian, on a new release from ECM.

Sounding superb on my Cd5si - Hi-Line - NAIT 5si and Neat Motive SX2 speakers - urging me to keep cranking that volume as each track rolls out.  A great Compo here.

Massive Attack - Protection

A low groove to get the day going.

Mehldau & Rossy trio - When I fall in love

Posted on: 19 October 2018 by Stephen Tate

Another great Compo - See You - being favourite track, the resolution and dynamics are simply stunning.

Posted on: 19 October 2018 by Kevin-W

Not their best album by any means, and there's no Alan Rankine... but hell, Billy Mackenzie's still there. UK first press vinyl.

Just got this through the post, an oldie but still great 80s electronic music and I can't wait to give it a spin.

Wynton Kelly trio - Full view

Impressionism with Joni.

It's hard to believe that this album was released 38 years ago! I recall seeing a broadcast of the concert. Was it the whole film or just a song or two on the OGWT? I cannot remember exactly, but I was hooked and have been ever since. There is so much feeling here. All the musicians seemed to give their best and more - a firm favourite album for me.

Impressionism definitely. Joni paints pictures with her songs, better than anyone, at least the equal of Dylan

Playing on Vinyl - Great mixed album by Drum and Bass Godfather Goldie. Featuring artists on his Metalheadz Label

Ry Cooder - The Prodigal Son

Streaming on NAS.........  a mention from ALANP prompted me to take this fantastic album out for another spin!  Helping wake up this sleepy head this Friday morning...........

Giving this a whirl, another great Compo through the post today. I can't seem to stop buying music at the minute and being a real sucker for Compilations at the moment, Good 'O' is what I say

Love the bonus tracks, but prefer the sound quality of the 2016 Remaster. Solution - buy both!
