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

Playing on Compact Disc on Naxos - Rousing Bach Cantatas

I am a great lover of English classical music and I just found this on vinyl for 99p in my local charity shop. It is one that has several pieces on it that I don't know. A few more listens needed but some lovely stuff here I think.

Dead Can Dance - Dionysus. 24-bit/44.1kHz FLAC.

This is an interesting melting pot of influences. First listen, so just taking it in. On this wet autumn morning it's filling the office with a most welcome exotic far away sound.

Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass) 

A very early best of compilation of 'Stones hits. This and the UK variant are both very fine albums, when you look at these hits up to '66 it encapsulates the music flavour of the 60's for those of us lucky and old enough to have experienced the revolution.

Tracklist

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction	3:45
The Last Time	3:35
As Tears Go By	2:45
Time Is On My Side	2:50
It's All Over Now	3:20
Tell Me	3:47
19th Nervous Breakdown	3:50
Heart Of Stone	2:49
Get Off My Cloud	2:52
Not Fade Away	1:48
Good Times, Bad Times	2:28
Play With Fire	2:15

super classic stones album, have an original vinyl copy

Playing on Compact Disc - Great house album from 1990 from New Yorkers Deelite

Cliff Martinez - Drive Soundtrack. CD rip. 

Martinez’s 80s retro synth work dominates, but there’s also contrasting Kavinsky and College tracks included on the score of this (superb) Winding Refn movie.

  Buddy Guy - Blues Singer.

  Buddy's album was recorded as a tribute to the late, great, John Lee Hooker, and with B.B. King and Eric Clapton, among others,

  on board, it's a great listen, and is highly recommended.

  Posted here a couple of weeks ago by ALANP ................ great shout, mate.

December 1981

Playing on Cassette on TDK SA - X C60 - Always great hearing Dave Gilmours first solo album from 1978

Neal Casal - Circles Around the Sun - Interludes for the Dead This has been a real grower on me and I really like it.

Currently much prefer it to the current mega box by the Dead - The Complete Pacific North West 1973/74 which for me is extremely disappointing.

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed the album. 

Jools Holland and Friends - Small World Big Band, the first of three similar albums ,each track featuring a guest, either vocally or instrumentally.

Playing on Cassette on Maxell UL -S C90 - A great debut double album from Stephen Stills and friends

On CD:-

Rosanne Cash - She Remembers Everything

Going in with some Boston this evening. The usual goings on of trying not to get caught out 'air guitaring' by SWMBO - such a homely album.

On 24/96 via a blu-ray disc. Molten guitar playing.

Paul McCartney - Egypt Station, taking a break from the "white album" and getting my Fabs fix through this album 

Saw this one posted & praised I think a few weeks ago - thanks - enjoyed it this afternoon !

1972 - vinyl - UK first pressing...

Can’t get away from that mammoth number one hit but the rest of the album ain’t bad either. 

(2007)

Raising Sand

Plant 'n Krauss making great music together on this fine album with a lovely fusion of voices and styles.

Can’t wait to hear this new version. The album does ramble a bit but that doesn’t detract from its magnificence.

Mind you, I still have an “altered consciousness” experience etched deeply - 46 years ago my flat mate and I had just agreed that Troutmask Replica, in our current condition, would probably render us permanently insane if we carried on playing it (Dachau Blues did for us). He retired to his bedroom to try and pull together what was left of his mind, while I tried kill or cure by putting Electric Ladyland on headphones.

 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) was like a feather tickling various parts of my brain. Exquisite, though I hear it somewhat more prosaically these days ????
