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.

On Vinyl. Great collection another one of the secondhand bargains today absolutely mint condition sound quality is excellent. I'm ashamed to say I have never owned any of their stuff before the Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac. Will put that right over the next year.

Monteverdi's eighth book of madrigals (1638), arguably his greatest achievement and spanning three discs. As good as they generally are, Alessandrini and his band are without peers in this music.

Bach's violin sonatas, in unadorned but lively HIP performances from 1974 that haven't aged at all.

My favourite Stones album.............

Joining the steam train geekery, I can only assume the art director saw the term 'Atlantic Engine' and thought it would be relevant to an East Coast American train. Atlantic is a term used for steam engines with a 4.6.0 wheel arrangement, and the Jubilee's had that.

 

Er, I'm sorry to continue this off-thread but, just to be pedantic, an Atlantic locomotive has a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement...

Yes, it's a great album! I'll dig out Because of the Times later, I haven't listened to it for some time.

Actually:-

Atlantics have 4-4-2 wheel arrangement

Pacifics  have 4-6-2.

At least applied to LNER locos.

There again I find all Bowie to be unbearable to listen to, regardless of format.....
