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

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:

Never thought it before I saw the above video just now (a cover of Animal Collective's 'My Girls') and read all the comments suggesting that Victoria Bergsman (Taken By Trees) looks like Eminem. My first thought was "yeah, right".... but she somehow does.

Nicnaim, there was a multi vinyl box set issued about two years ago on Purepleasure I think, (I will check) and it is very very lovely. It contains the two Pepper/Leviev lps and the rest of the sets they played. 'Blues for the Fisherman' is one of my favourite records so I am a little biased! The vinyl sets were released at about £100/120. Then last year, I think, a cd set was issed of the same, 3cd box I think, but only in the US. It cost about £35!  I am asuming it is as good but I honestly don't know. It is usually vinyl for me tho'.

James, many thanks for the info. Currently listening to my vinyl copy with new ears. Had a Linn Uphoric phono stage dropped off earlier on loan, so hearing things that I have not heard before. A set that I already loved has just got a whole lot better.  Tempted by the cd boxed set now!

 

Regards

Dino Saluzzi, bandoneon

Anja Lechner, cello

 

Ojos Negros is the first recording from this magical duo, and creates a richly lyrical dialogue that blurs the lines between folk music, jazz and tango. This is chamber music with Argentine traditions, presented through Saluzzi compositions and the beautiful old tango tune "Ojos negros" ("Black Eyes").

On Spotify, following Stu's recommendation. A mighty fine effort it is too. Although Derek is a keyboard man, (Dream Theatre, Black Country Communion), it has the feel of Jeff Beck of the 70s, (he did a track on a Jeff Beck tribute album),with guitar work , by Steve Lukather,Tony MacAlpine and others. Funky and Rocky too. Then I do like instrumentals.

You might want to try this one too Stu:-


 

Hrant Bedoyan with Derek on keys.

 

 

Derek seems to be big on tribute albums I have found him on not only jeff Beck , but Jethro Tull and ELP tribute albums.

Joe at his best - a criminally underrated artist IMO :-

Moby remixed Simple Minds' brilliant "Theme for Great Cities" exclusively for RSD and Virgin issued this 12". Sadly - on first listen at least - it's a bit disappointing.
