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

Goldfrapp, Will and Alison's newie, Silver Eye, on clear vinyl:

Keb' Mo' - Suitcase.

Mo' laid back blues from Keb' ........ (sorry!).

John Coltrane - Impressions on vinyl

This LP is coming alive at last after a period when the music was not coming out. Maybe the Loricraft PRC4 has worked its magic, or maybe the 300DR. 

Wikipedia says about his 1962-65 period Despite a more polished approach in the studio, in concert the quartet continued to balance "standards" and its own more exploratory and challenging music, as can be heard on the Impressions (recorded 1961–63), Live at Birdland and Newport '63 (both recorded 1963). Impressions consists of two extended jams including the title track along with "Dear Old Stockholm", "After the Rain" and a blues. Coltrane later said he enjoyed having a "balanced catalogue."

A vinyl reissue from about 2001. A proper prog banger, and by far and away their best album. IMO of course.

A great contemplative unwinding album. No heroics from Peterson for a nice change.

A change of tack to this very easy to listen to album and her fine voice.

Working today (well, it's a Bank Holiday and it's pissing down). I alays find the Dead most conducive to work, so listening to this four-disc set. Phil's bass is awesome on this one.

Totally agree. It's like you can listen on a sublimial level which allows the mind to focus on the work at hand.

LP2...

Big Big Train - Grimspound, on vinyl...

On original thin vinyl...brilliant!  

Steven Wilson - Cover Version, on vinyl...

Back to some work, accompanied by Frank and Nelson Riddle interpreting some of the greatest American songs ever created. From that fabulous CD box set Masterworks, in excellent sound quality and with 10 bonus tracks:

I've only had this album a few days but have been playing it a lot and am liking it more and more.  Yet another terrific discovery I've gained from this thread.   

Really liking this girl - This album is getting a lot of sofa time. Another great forum recommendation 

Sarah Jarosz - Follow Me Down

From a fine jazz club voice (Melody Gardot) to a wonderful bluegrass voice.

Sticking with female voices and this one is fun.

Wow, I played this in the last few weeks, I'd have bet I was the only person on the forum who had it or had listened to it in years. As a friend of mine once said after a bottle of claret and listening to this, "Ah, Das ist Berlin". (Given he was born in Florida and brought up in London, albeit of German parentage, a bit pretentious which is probably why it stuck with me.)

I've got that - it's a super album.
