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

ELP - B.S.S. and Tarkus, things are looking up.

H

Lux Feminae - after a long weekend with a couple of nice blokes, there has to be some "female light":



Before: The super lovely "Ninna Nanna", written by Arvo Pärt, sung by Figueras, too. Yummie !

cheers
Stefan

Catching up on some recent vinyl arrivals:

Christine Collister - Love. Definitely worth the duplication, much better than CD



Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne, Natania Davrath on Quiex 200g vinyl. Have to be honest, doesn't seem to sound as good as the original pressing that I have, but much less surface noise across the 4 sides. Need to A / B when I have more time to determine whether this is really true.



Finally, Midnight Blue - Classic Records pressing. This could be expensive.

Bought this box set today (very, very cheap) and been listening to a couple of the symphonies. Sounds great (dramatic music)!

Best Regards
Fredrik

Just had a great evening listening to some old seventies rock.

Bad company - shooting star
Thin lizzy - Jail break
Acdc - (live in Munich) 2003.
Uriah Heep - Abominog (80's)
T rex - Slider
Lynard skynard - The essential collection
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock

Statas Quo next!

Goodnight.

Huw,

I always knew you were a man of taste, have you got many Kenny Burrell records? I could recommend a few others if you are interested.

Nic

Peter Gabreil - Plays Live

Nic, yes I have a couple. I just wanted to see whether the Classic records pressing were really worth €37.50 a pop. Sadly for my wallet, yes.

Haim,
Solo Monk is excellent, but I prefer his solo Riverside sides - Thelonious himself & Alone in San Francisco

huw

The Hotel Child - Ingrid Lucia and the Flying Neutrinos.
A new artist to me, but excellently recorded, nice late night jazz.

Chris N

More good music.
Marcia Ball - Presumed Innocent.

Jimi Hendrix - Live @A Hall Times "freebie"

Rush - Moving Pictures
ELP - Pictures at an Exhibition
ELP - Tarkus all vinyl.

E.S.T. - Tuesday Wonderland. Hmm - need to listen to this a bit more. Will be interesting to see how it translates into a live set, have to wait 'til November for that.



Gabriela y Rodrigo - eponymous - great to listen to whilst doing the ironing. Big fun!



Currently Peter Gabriel - So. A great pop album.

Beethoven's symphonies no. 4 and no .7 conducted by the mighty Furtwangler in 1943 with the Berlin PO. Powerful stuff! . It is from a set containing all the Beethoven wartime symphonies by Furtwangler.

Metallica- Load

This is the CD that first got me into metallica. It's amazing how many changes a band goes through.

The Charlatans - Between 10th and 11th

Thanks foir pointing me to the wonderful Annouar Brahem. He's a magician !

cheers
Stefan

Dear Rubio,

Furtwangler's wartime recordings with the VPO are amongst the finest he ever made. It was a tragedy that the tapes made their way back to Moscow and only really saw the light of day recently.

DG has two boxes of all these recordings. I have the first and as well as the Beethoven symphonies is also includes extraordinary readings of the violin concerto and the Schubert great C major symphony.

regards, Tam
