 Is this the Andreas Meyer remastered version? If so, it’s a keeper!!!

Andreas Meyer is an excellent engineer. I've been following his work ever since Gould's Goldberg Variations remaster A State of Wonder.

Still not completely impressed, perhaps I should try it some more..

Interesting album now...

You are very brave. Better ask Florestan, Kuma and Max who is teaching composition for their input.

I know Haim - right? I have just noticed through the years that LB seems to be a very polarizing figure, and not sure what to make of it all. (My brother also had a music instructor at NYU who thought the NY Philharmonic was junk, and I do not know why.) And I am not very well-versed in the genre, so I figure let me tap into the knowledge base of those who are much more up to speed on it.

Bernstein was a great conductor! Surely it's Mahler that polarizes opinion? Personally I love #5, can't stand #1 (with it's children's song turned funeral march) and #8.

Now some Wayne Shorter

Angel Olsen  -  "Burn Your Fire For No Witness"  (2014)

It won't be your first cycle, it won't be your last but you gotta have this if you want to test your gear, great pianist great recording as well.

Nowt to be proud of, I suppose, but it's putting a grin on my face ............. Sparks, live from Radio 6 Music Festival.

Also available on BBC iPlayer.

On CD:-

The Temper Trap  -  "Thick As Thieves"  (2016)

Just bought some more of the guys - nice post rock

I've not played this Tori album for a while. It seems less intense than many of her other albums (well, for Tori).  

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment.

Having had a larf watching Sparks, mentioned above, my mind has taken me to this one ........ hints of Sparks, possibly?

The sound of his piano not so great as on the other solo album Sensor....

Keb' Mo' - Keb' Mo'.                                                                        Keb' Mo' - Suitcase.

Following all that Sparks hilarity, winding down with some relaxed blues.

Recommended late night listening for all, and the first one, additionally, is a great "test the system" album. 

Fink  -  "Fink's Sunday Night Blues Club, Volume 1"  (2017)
