What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

Really enjoyed this HiRes LSO Live Rachmaninov Symphony 3 earlier.

I'm still not convinced that HiRes always delivers an improvement over CD rips, but this has terrific sonics. I recently heard this work played live by the Bournemouth SO and there's so much going on in the scoring of this work with, in particular, a huge group of percussionists playing a wide range of instruments. This recording really separates them all and each one starts and stops very naturally as opposed to just sounding and then fading, or being overwhelmed by the rest of the orchestra. Great Gergiev performance too.

The Bennie Maupin Ensemble: Penumbra

Another excellent album not played for a very long time. I am so lucky that the discs don't come with an expiration date..

Good call, Larry.  Always overlooked album by the Stones and Time Waits for No One is a fantastic track.

Funny that you mention "Time Waits for No One" that's the reason I put it on. For some strange reason I love that song.

Talking Heads. Stop Making Sense. On the original Sire CD from 1984. Great soundtrack, have yet to see the movie.

Starting with Part One of Two from this rather fine double album, the opener sounding like something a modern day Simon & Garfunkel might undertake.

Melvins. Stoner Witch. On CD from 1994. Shaking out the cob webs late on a Saturday night.

Always loved listening to his shows on radio, a truly inspirational figure for me.

From my brothers collection.

Also from my bruv.

Starting this morning with bach. Inventions and partita on violin.

Joe, its worth watching the movie - its superb, esp on a good system (was lucky enough to see and hear it demo'd at an AV show). The opening track as David Byrne introduces Psycho Killer is still one of the coolest stage entrances because of its simplicity. And then there's the suit...

All the Roadrunning - 16bit 44.1kHz Wave

First album on a cold Sunday morning.

Bach's Brandenburg concertos conducted by Benjamin Britten. This was recorded in 1969. However, the sound quality is very good. Also the interpretation by Benjamin Britten of the concertos is very enjoyable.

This 1971 UK Elektra 'butterfly label' issue of the classic 1968 LP.

ALEXIS KORNER (1972 The Accidental Band..

The 'accidental' of the title is effectively how Snape was formed, during a USA tour of collective bands, including Humble Pie & King Crimson. Thus the band is also known as "The Accidental Band".
