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:

Nelson Mass, the Mass for "Troubled Times"....
tpia,
This the 1962 King's College performance, correct?

...and in the same vein....this has been a winter staple this year...
And finally....
This is a superb line up of musicians. I have played this a few times this week and it is very good, but giving it a proper run through now on the big rig.
Now Stu, this is available with added snap, crackle and pop.
Funny, I never got into "Tarantella" but am keen to hear this. I've also added the Yaron Herman Trio CD to my wish list - thanks for the reminder. Nice 5 star review of the new Andy Shephard in yesterday's garden, so no doubt that will find its way into my basket ere long.

First spin of the day.
Porcupine Tree - On The Sunday Of Life.......Because it's Sunday....Real Head Music
John Talabot, fin.
Hi reubs, Have you heard this yet?
(I just got distracted by pictures of Paris Hilton etc when I googled it, ha.)
I know they've done a remix or two for John Talabot, and like his, their album is excellent. Still waiting for mine to arrive (think the release might have been put back?) though their label put the first disc on SoundCloud a week or so ago: http://drownedinsound.com/news...f-titled-debut-album
It took a few listens to get into, but now I'm loving it.
Recently on Spotify:-
Fourth play since lunchtime. Wonderful, very glad I took the plunge of £10 spent in HMV this morning.

Really like this, like going to another world
Sarah McLachlan "Afterglow Live"
Couturier's quartet perfectly captures the spirit and imagery of Tarkovsky's films. Highly recommended.
Suzanne Vega "Close-up Vol. 1: Love Songs"
Adam Cohen - Like a Man.
totally loving this CD - echoes of his Dad's early work in a very, very good way. A well constructed and, at times amusing observation of love and maleness. G
Sting "Brand New Day"
Warming up for tonight's show at the Komedia in Brighton - superb venue with a superb sound system and of course wonderful music from solo Hackett and his Genesis days. Also his birthday today, so should be an good occasion. See some of you forum chaps down there :-)
A couple from earlier. Both 70's RCA Victor pressings.
Also on the black stuff.
Not exactly easy listening, but a compelling CD of piano and violin duets.
