Adrian,
What do you think?
I love both discs.

I really like it. Nothing like a Nick Cave album. It has that lovely atmospheric feel to it that I so like and find in a lot of other music I like listening to - ECM, Electronic, Contemporary, Soundtrack etc etc. Great for chilling out to or sitting in a darkened room.

It's a great double-sided listen. Might boomkat be able to sell you a download now all the vinyls have gone? Does that mean you won't be checking out Four Tet's new album coming soon? Also, if rumours are to be believed, Burial is remixing the whole new forthcoming Massive Attack LP, Heligo land...

I think Moth/Wolf Club was supposed to be vinyl only when I looked before, but I might have to check again.

Though I'd like to hear it, I expect I'll pass on the Four Tet, and yeah, I read about the Burial/Massive Attack thing in the paper a couple of months ago - I think it's definitely happening as the article was an interview with Rob and G, though they said it might take a while. Any Massive Attack album is essential really (only a couple of weeks to wait), but I wouldn't be surprised if Burial's take on it isn't better than the album proper. We'll see.

I am really getting into this.

It has really grown on me the last few weeks.

The Swell Season on KCRW

I am playing this again, but this time on my main rig. This is superb, quality music and the recording of that music is top notch on CD. A beautiful, passionate voice with lovely, lyrical piano.

That just rolled off into the kitchen and is now in the bloody bin

How do you roll an LP off a table?

Richard,
Is it the new 2010 180g vinyl pressing?

Yes, just arrived yesterday along with David Crosby and Stephen Stills solo albums. Incidentally, I just popped a question for you on the last vinyl bought thread

Please let me know what you think of them.
Do you have the original vinyl copies?

I haven't got the original vinyl, so I can't compare with that but I do have remastered CDs of each one. The David Crosby and the Crosby, Stills and Nash cds are excellent and, although I hardly play cds since getting the Radikal, I'm not sure that the vinyl re-isuues are that much better. On the other hand, Stephen Stills sounds a lot better on vinyl than CD

Agree.

Saw this in the local RECORD shop today so thought I would see what it was all about

It's on Spotify if you want to sneak a listen Very 60's feel to it. Goodness knows what the film was like with this kind of music.
