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

You seem to be having a bit of a John Mayer night Stu - what's his music like? Should I buy some?

Thanks.

I wouldn't :-) It's mostly bland (except Try)  - sorry Stu.....

Paul Badura-Skoda: Schubert Piano Sonata No.14

I like everything about this,

great tunes,

the way he plays,

the sound engineering,

and the vinyl quality is fabulous too.

Wish all piano music on LP was this good : )

Hi Apye! Glad you like it. Mr Fitzsimmons is wonderful......... His last album Gold In The Shadow is pretty good too. Probably not alround as this one. I don't think there is a duff track on the whole thing. In fact the whole album melds into one perfect picture.

First play, on CD:-

John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar

A simply cracking album from beginning to end. 

Thanks to J.N. for the prod.

I'd never come across his music before but thought i'd give it a go after hearing him talking on R2. Lovely album.

A long time no hear, on CD:-

I don't care what others think, I love their stuff.

On CD:-

On Vinyl

Evidence that Brahms could weave a  good tune in his chamber music (as opposed to a dense mass of ideas): the andante of the first sextet is one of his finest melodies. I'm new to the Nash Ensemble, love their tone and sensibilities in this music.

Cheers,

Kevin Figes - 4 Sided Triangle [No image available]

Very impressive. Bit funky, bit John Schofield in the guitar and excellent overall.

I wish they'd re-release this on vinyl or CD or hi-resolution download, but AAC is better than nothing courtesy of iTunes store - great album.  

Marconi Union - Different Colours. Enjoying this from what I have heard so far. Electronics, ambient, chill out, downbeat, post rock with some jazz tinges.
