Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

Anyway, links:

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
and I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

Dang, dang, da-da-dang, da-da, daa daa da- dadang. DADANG. DADANG etc.

This is an amazing sounding recording. The CD release is eons behind what can be extracted from the vinyl release.

Here is just one song from his LP, ripped from the 45 rpm multidisk release.. But you will need to put the www. infront of it, since I am not attempting to post a hotlink.

Handel arias and duets, by soprano Sandrine Piau and alto Sara Mingardo and excellent support from Concerto Italiano. Handel's operas lend themselves excellently for extracts - these are not bleeding chunks, but self-contained musical works especially when presented with the introductory recitatives as here.

Just been delivered, & the addition of Gavin Harrison has not detracted from the usual genius of the two more usual protagonists.

Prog metal, well mastered and recorded once again.

Not quiet the in your face impact of 'Office of Statistical Influence' but enjoying this a lot.
