October 1991
I don’t usually care for MTT’s conducting but this recording is quite good.
On vinyl. Absolutely brilliant. His Bobness at his best.

What is it about Rush that you like?

Phil.
Probably not, my daughter's in her 20s and she and some of her friends are really into prog.
I don’t like all Rush’s albums, but really like 2112, Cares of Steel and Power Window. I don’t like all genesis albums but really like Trick of the tale.
Some good modern prog out there.
This is one of my fav prog tracks, but I feel it’s definitely send up.
[@mention:1566878603970055], Thank you for your YouTube recommendations which I have listened to and enjoyed playing from my iPad into nDAC. My offspring don’t have time from work and parenting to explore music much. Something to look forward to with grandchildren!

Donald Byrd - Free Form
Definitely my favourite from Donald, but then check out that line-up.
Was in one of my local record stores yesterday, and this was playing.
Had never heard of Khruangbin, but found myself totally grooving to this, their latest release entitled “Con Todo El Mundo”. The pressing is ok, but nothing special. But the music is intriguing! Described on Allmusic as...
“...inspired by Thai rock and funk from the '60s and '70s -- sounds most easily available to Western ears via releases like the Thai Beat a Go-Go compilations or anything issued by ZudRangMa Records. The group also draw from the bass pressure of vintage dub reggae, the free-spirited haziness of California psychedelia, and the gritty passion of '70s soul, with hints of Iranian pop, Afrobeat, Spaghetti Western film scores, and countless other styles.”
To my ears, it is wonderful chill-out music - interesting, melodic guitar-led instrumentals, with some ethereal background vocals.
I also that this, along with their debut album, are both available via Tidal. To quote forum member Ken: enjoy!
