Dear Haim!
The nation is closed on august.
So nobody will keep an eye on the situation.
This is the right moment for sharks!

Don't think i passing my days on my hammock in the veranda!
A moment of psychedelic stole the promise of restaurigs from my mouth.
So monday i'll start whitewash.
Then the garage roof.
Then railings.
Have to clean the car (the most orrible job between the others!)


And i have a lot of stuff to listen to!
Of course!

Gian,

I don' t buy that. In 24 days you can circle the world twice, do three NAIM upgrades and take your father to Lebanon to vecate the battlefields and send all those silly worriors back to their homes and families.

You will still have plenty of time left for good music like this.

Take care,

Haim

Gianluigi - I have been buying a lot of David Sylvian recently and am enjoying it (Dead Bees, Gone to Earth, Brilliant Trees, Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow, Blemish and Secrets of the Beehive).

Do you have any Japan recommendations? I was thinking Quiet Life and Tin Drum?

Adrian

Some good Italian jazz

Airto Mreira and the Gods of Jazz - Killer Bees

Half way and about 3/4 hours down (hard to believe). My wife picked up the kids from a party and one of the other mums said it took her husband a whole day to build theirs. Looks like next Saturday am is sorted.

Adrian

Here is one that keeps spinning and spinning.




Adrian - Hopefully you will sort it out next week. This kind of stuff is poorly manufactured these days.

Best regards,
Ron

The wonderful Secret Story from Pat Metheny. A truly beautiful album. Not so easy to get these days but new remastered version due out later this year on Nonesuch.

Just played Toto Bona Lokua

The very interesting Naked City - John Zorn

Sudanese Emmanuel Jal & Abdel Gadir Salim with "Ceasefire", a really good album from a country not normally associated with music.

Last night...... fine sultry R n B grooves of.....



Diccus

The Zutons - Tired of Hanging Around

Robert Wyatt "Cuckooland". I didn't get instantly hooked, but I didn't concentrate to listen to the lyrics which I think is an important part of this album.

Before breakfast.

Haim

Jordan-The Comeback, Prefab Sprout.

Earlier,



The Fall - A Past Gone Mad


Now



I keep coming back to this one from our recent Mozart acquisitions - Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 6, 17 & 21 / Géza Anda.

Dear Haim!
Three upgrades?
The only thing i did today was "tree upgrade"!

Anyway.....................23 more to go!

Dear SJB,

That Mozart is sublime.

If you are feeling brave have a look at my Edwin Fischer thread, new, here in in the Music Room, which is sadly being read but not replied to!

HMV dropped plans to record Fischer in the 21st in C Major, after the 1939-45 war intervened in the series. I think he might have had a wonderful recording in him. Schnabel made the recording Fischer probably should have done, and this lies in obscurity now as far as I know. I had it on an LP transfer, but it was very strange. The slow movement was very slow - too slow for its own good....

I have dicovered a new Mozart piece among these Fischer discs, The Rond in D, KV 382, which I have just been listening to again. And also, the Minuet (for piano solo) in G, KV 1. Mozart's number one catalogue piece! Very charming, both of them.

Hi Adrian!
Sylvian's album i love are: Brilliant trees, Secrets of the beehive and Gone to earth.
I got Blemish but i really can't get into that atmosphere.
I think that those three albums are hard to compare and to pass over.
Even Dead Bees is somehow retorical and too much "new age" in my point of view.
Snow Borne Sorrow is probably a kind of come back to origin but stay stairs under tracks like "September" or "Orpheus".

Japan was the strange fruit, the dark gemstone, oriental and electronic, ancient and modern at the same time.
I think you could get all of them.
"Gentlemen take polaroids" is very good!

Another album to buy i think is this:
