One of my favourite 'Tull albums Dave.

Dave Brubeck. This is in my opinion one of his best CD's from his later period. Also great sound quality.

1989 - Vinyl - U.K. First Pressing...

Marillion

Brave - Tidal HiFi

I have to fess up to being more than an occassional lover of rock or metal combined with a full symphony orchestra ever since Deep Purple went with Malcolm Arnold and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in '69, to me it seems a natural fit. Thirty years later in 1999 later Metallica released S&M with the SFSO which is no doubt an influence on why some modern rock/metal bands get their ideas.

Sibelius Violin Concerto - Zimmermann/Helsinki 24/96 flac (HRA). 1st listen, good sound.

Marillion

Marbles In The Park - 24bit 96kHz Wave

Another brilliant album from Marillion.

Ed Sheeran, Divide, another excellent album from the ginger genius.  So gutted I couldn't get tickets for him for my lad.  Tidal via Audirvana/Hugo

Music Matters 2017 reissue of the 1964 Blue Note release.

Chilling out with a Glenlivet and Madeleine

Madeleine Peyroux - Half the Perfect World

If one record could be singled out as a watershed moment of the '90s and a defining work of contemporary Macedonian music and culture, this would be it. This record really broke new barriers and set new standards. Before The Rain was Milcho Manchevski's debut movie, which won a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in 1994 and was one of the front-runners for that year's Oscar for a foreign film. The movie tells the story of a burned out photographer returning from the war in Bosnia. Unfolding in three parts, Before The Rain explores the uncompromising nature of war which serves as a warning and a premonition; the director recognized the same seeds of violence in his home country, which eventually (several years later) led to the conflict that he dreaded.

I shall give this MP album a go.

That single malt stuff is so smooth, it can get you as chilled as a newt. I speak from experience!

The superb Melody Gardot - i like all of her albums but i think this just edges out in front (for me). When she starts to sing on 'Baby I'm A Fool' i'm somewhere else entirely 

Melody Gardot - My One And Only Thrill

Thanks for the reminder. Just ordered this for £14.80 on Vinyl from the big south american river and with Prime delivery I should be enjoying this tomorrow evening
