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

First spin - Osborne's complete Harmonies poétiques et religieuses, some of Liszt's earliest poetic works. Except for "Funérailles", this cycle has remained largely unknown, probably due to the difficulty and introvert nature of these works - but for Liszt, it was his breakthrough as a serious, mature composer. 

Cheers,

Carry on....

Oohh, I like the Dr Feelgood. Do you know this clip?

Thanks!

With my new Acoustic room treatments. 

Thanks for the clip, I got the LP from a guy at work who brought me in a box of LP's he was throwing out! He knew I was into vinyl and let me have a look first.

I had never heard of Dr Feelgood, but he mentioned it was the best one in the box. I have to admit he ws right, great sounding mono recording and not too many pops and crackles after a clean on the moth RCM.

therhythmisodd is based in Sweden, the music is a progressive, rock'ish type of thing

Two years after the release of their debut album "From Nowhere to Eternity" the band now release "Raw Material".
The album shows the band's artistic growth, and fans will not be disappointed by the new material filled with intense and progressive nerve.

A Comment
"After many listens to "Subway," I can honestly that the track is amazing, and fits my musical tastes perfectly. The musicianship is top-notch, and I love the pounding bass...very reminiscent of John Wetton-era King Crimson. The bellowed vocals add a nice human feel to the track. The guitar is wild, reminding me of Robert Fripp-meets-Frank Zappa-meets-Tim Smith-meets-Jimi Hendrix. Jazz-fusion is one of my favorite genres, and that is very present in "Subway." And I definitely can't forget the powerful drums, bringing to mind Billy Cobham and Bill Bruford with a slight modern feel. The mid-section is great and sounds a bit like improvisation, which I love. I love how you guys manage to keep such a strong groove going for over 13 minutes; very nice indeed! Even the production quality is pretty good here. Congratulations on such a powerful piece of music!" Well done, Well done

My Comment

I'm buying.

Some good old Vinyl Blues to start Sunday off. 

Original Vinyl from 1975. Always loved this record and that has not changed right to this day.

When all sed & awk, this is a magnificent LP or CD or the Audio Codec of your choice.

A few years ago, Andreas Staier made a beautiful recording of the Goldberg variations on a huge harpsichord. The instrument's weighty sound is helped by the bold recording, which combined to give this version a somewhat coarse, dense texture - in a good, but controversial, way.
