On CD:-
Just caught up watching Luther from BBC1 last night - liked the Titles music so thought I would give this another spin.
I am still not really captivated by it.

VA: Crazy for Gerswin
The all time classic
Thank you, Voltaire, for this comment !!!
I feel the same. Being a PM "fan" and concert goer, I just fail ti understand what this is about. Other than a nice experiment. If you see the video, it looks and sounds appealing. Listening to the CD is - uhm - like a wax museum ? Or like thee recordings where they play old paper rolls that move The piano keys ? Whatever… This whole Orchestrion thing Is nothing compared to real musicians that understand their job.

I have to be honest and say that I am struggling a bit with this album. I fully appreciate the technical boundries that PM is exploring and I like the resulting music but the sound just seems so dead to me, dynamically flatlined. Having read a few interviews with PM I suspect that is the sound he was going for or have I missed the point?
Haven't played this one for a while but it is on CD

Drowning in 80/81, myself. Sorry, if I can't keep the pace of some posters, here, that manage to listen to (full ?) 20 CD's an evening. I prefer to enjoy 
Have fun with 2nd half of football, Adrian.
Cheers

The concert I saw of this was fine but I was not wowed by it. I missed all the humans of a band and am looking forward to seeing him with the Pat metheny Group in July - I think that will be a much better experience. The Orchestrion is good 3 star stuff but not 5 star.
I am playing side 4 of 80/81 right now during half time of the football. What classic music and what a line up.
Uniquely good recording of Bach's Goldberg variations by Pierre Hantaï

Hope we can put this thought to bed soon, congrats Spurs.
