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:

I bought this a bit later than everyone else but what a great album. Her voice is gorgeous and the production amazing.

On the vinyl (which sounds a lot better than the free cd that came with it).

 

Some wonderful bass on this album, and after some disapointment with my cd copy i've found that hearing this vinyl is hearing the music, and very good it is too : )

Continuing my Sinopoli Bruckner cycle with #9. Like most in this series, it is a doctored live recording (i.e. the live aspect is hardly noticeable, a good thing IMO). This is my first listen, but Sinopoli's trademark highlighting is again very noticeable, very cool. Sound quality is beyond excellent.

Just laid back and listening to the civil wars - Barton hollow, and nick Reilly - flying away. First heard the civil wars live at a pig spit roast event couple years ago, and nick Reilly seen doing the music journeyman thing in the French alps. Lovely music and great to reminisce. Great way to close of the week !!!!

funky, soulful, naively political agitprop lyrics, sung with heart, and boogieable

 

a beautiful swansong from marianne elliot said

Good? It's brilliant ... a classic. I adore that album. It is Delia Derbyshire & friends from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop ... Delia was a genius in my view though not the tidiest around her house, which is why she moved so often. David Vorhaus was also on the album and was a fine exponent of electronica. This is probably the best electronic music I've ever heard. Her solo outing Electrosonic is great as was her work on the Tomorrow People collection.
