What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Cibelle - The shine of dried electric leaves. Keep coming back to this even if it isn't exactly easy listnening - peculiar voice and lots of odd percussive noises, including the kitchen sink. A Brazilian Björk according to some reviews, more like a melting pot of Brazil and London to my mind. Isn't it great when music challenges you?

Huw,

You are right, though for some reasons I find myself looking recently more for simplicity and calm than challenge in the music. I guess it all depends on what mood you are in.

I tend to agree, but at the moment my brain is being stretched quite hard at work and I almost need a counterweight pull to retain equilibrium. Once it is attained, then I seek something soothing and calm, just about to spin Lisa Ekdahl's first album which is as close to unadulterated sunshine as it gets - not for the music per se, but the associated memories.

Dear Friends,

Book two of the 48 Preludes and Fugues - The Well Tempered Clavier - by Bach. Walcha's later reading, and very beautiful it is. More reflective and quieter than the earlier set, and a perfect contrast. The two readings are rather similar in outward style, but the effect of this later traversal is calmer, and, I think, rather touchingly beautiful. I can't say that the late recording eclipses the old one, but they run as a perfect compliment to each other. Yes, this wonderful music making...

The inner feeling is very moving - so calm and reassuring - in a world so full of change and strain.

Hi,

Oregon - "Prime"

pretty good and recommendable album...

Christian

Messiaen - Catalogue D'Oiseaux, books 1-3, Peter Hill at the piano.

The best of Badi Assad on Chesky - can't help but feel that virtuosity outweighs emotion. That said, the virtuosity is wondrous.



even if it wakes a desire to hear some low down dirty blues

hmhh, wondering why the Helium Tears don't do it for some of you folks with (in other CD's) similar tastes. Maybe, will give it another spin, later (after I have had the master's hands on my system, today...)

cheers

Perfect picture for the day. Started grey and ended the same way. It has been a while since I listened to this album.

Regards,

Peter,

I noticed 40 tracks on Best of Acoustics. I hope you have less than that in shirts to iron...

Good night,

Jotas driving the Briks without losing marbles!

This has got to be one of the worst recording available on a CD.

A compilation of a runway music. Pretty fun.
New Power Generation: Get Wild

Down tempo chil.
Charles Webster: Ready
A low level listening where Jotas excel. ( poor things had enough abuse for the evening )

Earlier:

Even earlier:
