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 like them

On CD:-
The Gathering - Disclosure
Hi Dave,
What do you think of "How To Measure A Planet", or is it to soon to say?
I'm frustrated at not being able to play Disclosure on Vinyl or the Bonus LP at the moment. Having to wait for my Arkiv to be re-tipped at the end of Oct

Hi Denis,
It's a bit early yet, only played it once, but it sounds pretty good.
I am enjoying Disclosure, especially Heroes For Ghosts and Gemini I. It should sound great on vinyl.

On CD, some Texas blues and boogie:-
Vinyl. Vertigo 1972.
I bought this album about 5 years ago in a market in Torquay for very little knowing it was worth quite a bit. The vinyl and cover are mint. I never played it until today, mainly because I thought it would be rubbish. After all Vangelis and Demis Roussous are not my favourite artists. However this album is a psychedelic rock revelation. It's very good indeed. A very pleasant surprise.

This is the first CD i ever purchased to play on a then brand new yamaha x5 cd player (1988 i think ) still sounds great. Though a lot better on my Naim cd player .
Worth a listen, if not just for the Surfin USA cover version.

Cat Power - Sun

I love this album. It must be 12 months since Stu first posted telling us what a fantastic album it was. He was not wrong it still sounds fantastic and it has become one of my all time favourites.
