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

U2 - October

Howard

Schumann, Frauenliebe - Juliana Banse & Graham Johnson. Beautiful music, beautiful girl!!!

EW

Eric Bibb - A Ship Called Love. Usual high quality (in all respects) on this disc

G.F.Händel - Suites for Harpsichord - Edgar Krapp on LP

followed by

Soul of Things - Tomasz Stanko on CD

Bartok String Quartets: Takács Quartet.

At last, a recording where they're played properly! Exciting and profound, just as it should be!! The recorded sound is a little overblown, but never mind.

EW

Stevie Wonder - a Time to Love

It's Franz Ferdinand Saturday here ;-)

Enjoy the weekend!
Bostjan

Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate – In the heart of the moon

Faithless - Forever Faithless.

Tangerine Dream - Stratosphere
it makes a perfect backround while I'm trying to solve a differential equation of higher order... I can just see the Laplace transforms forming in my head in the rithm of music
Just perfect!

Bostjan

Dave Holland Quintet - Extended Play

In fact the album title isn't all bad, because I just came home from a concert with the Dave Holland Quintet, and this is some kind of a follow-up...

cheers
Stefan

The Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson - classic trio of Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown. Perfect for this time of night.

Tam - BTW new member of family working beautifully after frustrating three week wait for re-capped items to be returned.

Nic

U2 - Boy

Omar Sosa - Ballads. Compilation of tunes from 1997-2000, excellent stuff and very unlike Mulatos. Anastasia even provides vocal support on one track, but really this is comtemplative piano playing ably supported.

John Lee Hooker: the Healer

Dave Holland: Selected Recordings

Liszt, Annees de Pelerinage I & II: Brendel.

Beethoven Quartet in C minor, opus 18/4. Rose Quartet. A style not used today, but none the worse for that. On Biddulph.

Fredrik

Siegfried/Krauss, Act 3 (was listening to the ROH/Pappano on Radio 3 but got fed up and decided to listen to it done properly).


regards,

Tam

Joe Jackson: Summer in the City & Night and Day II next.

X ray spex - germ free adolescence.
Rolling stones - let it bleed
John thorogood -greatest hits: thirty years of rock.
Gregory issacs cool ruler - the definitive collection.
Morcheeba - big calm,
too many mention really, its all good!

regards

It's a Sunday morning, and I'm listening to Eileen Farrell's Torch Songs.

Steve

PS My system always sounds best on Sunday mornings - I call it the Sunday morning upgrade.

My new record cleaning machine has inspired me to trawl though records I haven't played for a long while. Bugger digital, this is it man, amazingly fresh and alive.

This mornings playlist was The Beatles 1967-70 compilation, From Every Stage, a live Joan Baez double from 1975 (the political protest songs are dated, but still excellent)and Joni Mitchell's Blue, a timeless classic.

After this afternoon's compulsory shopping expedition I plan to move on to Vivaldi and Schubert, plus a few others.

Jeez you've been on a spending spree lately Bazz - trying to live up to senior member status are we? First the Supercap, then the room tuning stuff, now a record cleaner and next, the consensus is that you'll be getting a 252.

What's the record cleaner and how did you get it?

Steve

quote:

the consensus is that you'll be getting a 252.

Consensus of whom? You sound like my conscience Steve, but that cannot be, it passed away years ago.

The record cleaning machine is a KAB EV1. I crapped on about it at some length in a recent thread of that title. In summary, forget the wheel, forget penicillin, this is without doubt the defining moment in human creation, the outstanding invention of all time.

It cleans records ok too

Bazz

I'm thinking of getting a Powerigle, which makes me a total failure as anyone's conscience! I'm not sure if DIY is the best way to go now.

Anyway, time to clam up or get smacked for straying off this thread.
