Very bluesy and sort of dreamy too. Laid back and relaxing, very pleasant.

Nice Album
Even some female vocal leads on a couple of songs, very unusual for APP.

Has the PT box set arrived yet?
Yes, I have everything PT has ever released and ordered just to be complete. I really did not expect it sound as good as it does. Love it.
A new release with assortment of styles from the elder statesman(slash)badass.
Guest players include Esperanza Spalding, Ambrose Akinmusire - even Bruce Hornsby?
Nicely produced as well - no compression here.

Still.
It appears to be stuck in the machine.
or on repeat.
Getting past tack six is not easy.
So many influences on this album it's not true. From The Beach Boys to Porcupine Tree via Marillion and then rap??? Yes, PF and Steve Hackett are all in there too.
My wish list is going to be growing.
Ok - I like it.
Hi,

Overall I'd rather listen to Beach Boys, Marillion,Porcupine Tree,Yes , PF and Steve Hackett, but definitely no (C)rap.

A Brahms 1st that has been controversial since the day it was issued. I think it's one of the most considered, well thought through performances ever recorded.

Thanks reubs, I saw that one myself when I googled the Lapalux cover and just downloaded it - I thieved 'Cali's finest' from the press release on the Brainfeeder site, of course! Not sure how they ended releasing the last Martyn album, as it's not their usual kind of thing, though there's a couple more I'll have to investigate.
What's Thundercat's album like? I remember you posted it a few weeks back, and meant to ask you then.
