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:

I love Ansermet's "The Three Wonders".
Great album.

These three always seemed to work as a trilogy for me. I know a lot of people don't like 'Stormwatch' but rounds off the other two nicely for me. The death of John Glascock weighs heavily on the album, every song, apart from the instrumental 'Warm Sporran' is an elegy to something, all about time passing and loss. 'Heavy Horses' is probably my favourite of the three though.
Now back to something electronic, and what must be most played album of the last few months.
Arc (Ian Boddy and Mark Shreeve) 'Arcturus'.
Ello everyone,
Three whole days off, weather not great so I'm going to have to stay in and enjoy some tunes.....sigh 
....after my sons 5th Birthday party this afternoon, well done wife timing it with the footy...luv ya!!!!
EJ,
Another 12 years old, recently discovered, masterpiece on ECM. Alexei Lubimov shines playing Russian piano pieces (Stravinsky's Serenade and piano sonatas by the other three composers).
Can only be played loud ... on vinyl
On Vinyl:-
To be followed by Lisa Smirnova's disc:
Paul Desmond alto sax
Gerry Mulligan baryton sax
John Beal and Wendell Marshall bass
Connie Kay and Mel Lewis drums
Sucumed to the hype and bought the record.
She's not funky enuf for me.
