Me too, two listens so far. More to like than Yellow House I think.

Also Lightning Seeds: Four Winds and Patrick Watson: Wooden Arms.

A bunch of target CDs:

Van Dyke Parks - Jump!

I bought Jump on vinyl when it came out in the 80s - fantastic vinyl sound, if you'd rather go that route. Don't know what the CD's like. Possibly my favourite of VDP's albums.

Recently bought the Ry Cooder UFO 2-CD set which has remastered versions of some of his best work (the whole catalogue would have been good, but never mind).

Levon Helm's Dirt Farmer - superb stuff from a survivor.

Anne Briggs - The Time Has Come - one of the best folk LPs of the early 70s, stunningly remastered and repackaged by Sony.

Kathy Dalton - In My Own Time - ditto (indie label).

Mary Hampton - My Mother's Children

Spirit of Joy - Polydor anthology 1967-74 ish - includes some great rarities.

GRAHAM COXON : The Spinning Top (2009).

Listen to this ex-Blur guitarist ! Always quality...

PATRICK WATSON : Wooden Arms (2009)

This album has its personal sound.
I think this is really musical art among the hundreds of new releases.

Paul

Thoroughly recommended. Quite accessible, but still very interesting, especially with the combination of instruments that make up this Quartet.

It has intrigued me, and parts are excellent. Some tracks remind me of Thomas Dolby.

Have you read the Pitchforkmedia review? I think it is fair to say they did not like it... 3.3/10!

CD - a second hand copy of Burned and Frozen from Radio Massacre International

Vinyl - The Decemberists - Hazards of Love

Just got this , can't believe I don't have it already . Very nice .

Got this as well .

Further explorations of Shostakovich. I'm really looking forward to symphony no. 5 which from what I've heard so far is pretty dark. The idea of dark classical music, as opposed to merely sad or mournful, is thrilling.

Gergiev's interpretation of no. 7 will mark the first time I've listened to a different interpretation of a piece I already own and am pretty familiar with. I'm excited to compare them.

Tommy Flanagan Trio - The Complete "Overseas"

I just listened to No.7 yesterday at a friend's house, amazing - will have to get it asap.

Another nice addition .
