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:

Heavenly!
On Vinyl. Doom Folk is the only way I can describe it, very 70's sound, clean vocals reminds me of the times when you used to find something which you thought you were the only one who knew about it. Great record and on orange vinyl just to top it off.
Because sometimes it's not just until the fat lady sings...
On Vinyl Astra - The Weirding very much like Pink Floyd - Meddle in places
On Vinyl Porcupine Tree - Signify
On Vinyl
Because, implausibly, Gobbi somehow shades Callas - but why not, he's Figaro after all.
On Vinyl Stunning Vocals
iTunes , it seemed the right time for some PT:-
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream.
Japan 35DP
Red Vinyl.....Xmas pressie from my little sister.
A couple of King Crimson box sets, The Great Deceiver Live, and Frame by Frame.
I am looking to get the first four King Crimson albums on CD, but am not sure which issues to get. Are the Steve Wilson ones the best, the 30th Anniversary, or hunt for original and un-remastered releases?
I do like the sound of the the 30th Anniversay 'Red', which ublike so many other remasters actually sounds good, not compressed and brash.
Suggestions?

Jamie - I am really enjoying the 40th Anniversary series. They sound superb and lots of little extras. Plus they come with 24/96 versions as well should you want hi-res at some time in the future. To be honest, they are all I have been playing this week.....
Trailer Bride - Hope Is a Thing With Feathers
Streaming.
From The Complete Smiths box set. Remastered by Johnny Marr. He has done a fine job. The Smiths never sounded better in their misery!
Because it was a present and I was curious about the remastering. Happy bunny.
CD:-
We watched Princes Trust R&R concert from Albert Hall, a good reminder to listen to some Midge Ure.
"I'm the information: Cocaine powder"
Dance floor destroyer. What they call Gun Finger Music. Loved it when James Blake dropped it on Boiler Room live

Just about the best choon of the last couple of years, Hyph Mngo:
Cheers,

Endtroducing is my favourite album ever so nothing is ever going to touch that, but I do really dig that OPN release.

...and another thing, reubs... Thanks for recommending this OPN a few weeks back:
Some epic moments, and it almost reminds me of Endtroducing at times - the slow David Axelrod-style piano of the title track, for instance? Tks, CC
