What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Blake Mills - Heigh Ho.
Think of a left field combination of Ry Cooder and Randy Newman is the best I can manage.
It's available on Tidal, so have a bash, you might like it.
Alison Krauss - Windy City
On CD
Got the house to myself so it's volume up and this on the Melco
N.W.A - Straight Outta Compton

Similarly blessed this evening, so ................... this.
Massive Attack - Mezzanine.
I know it's not big, and it's not clever to post this one, yet again, but it ain't arf good though, innit ......... LOUD, though.
Good idea Dave - i've got Mezzanine up next

Playing this as it was mentioned in dispatches this morning and because I've just heard that they have a new album coming out in Autumn this year which is good news.
Commenting on his fourth opus in 2014, Duda said: “These are very dark and intense compositions but very melodious too. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever written, if not the best one”.
"It's often like the best film music... distinctly dramatic, verging on gothic from the opening eerie noises... honours the Pink Floyd branches of the Porcupine Tree" - Prog Magazine (UK)
"In nine pieces he creates a soundscape that has no equal. With this album he recommends himself for a collaboration with Steven Wilson. A collaboration at eyelevel." 9/10 - Eclipsed, Album of the Month (DE)
"Impressive as all the Lunatic Soul albums have been, this is almost certainly Duda’s most impressive offering to date." - Echoes and Dust (UK)
Playing now as I am also looking forward to the new album.
AC / DC - The Razor's Edge.
Last one this evening before SWMBO returns, and the loudness wars begin! 
Haven't played this since it came out in 2013
1989 - This album reflects a a very messy point of the band and Mark E's careers. Then again, it would not be The Fall if everything ran smooth, would it?
Started this morning with Cantata Nos. 147.
Now listening to Angelika Kirchschlager.
European vinyl, still sounding great 36 years later.
Concerto for Violin & Cello in A major, RV 546:
Bill Charlap - "All Through The Night" (1998) with Peter Washington and Kenny Washington. have this in my "Haim folder" so I guess that is how I originally saw this on this thread.
Benny Green Trio - "Testifyin' : Live At The Village Vanguard" (1992) rhythm section is Christian McBride-bass; Carl Allen-dums.
Listening to the Modena concert. Great music.
Laura Marling - Semper Femina. Released today - first listen. Quite impressed, very nice sounding album. Great double bass sound. Tidal.
