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

2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
The original released version not the one that came later.
Cyril, Paralyzed on CD. First Listen
I absolutely love their first album "Gone Through Years" a concept album loosely based on H.G. Wells The Time Machine.
This is a change of sound, becoming more Bluesy/Jazzy. Each track has its own story and works well. I'm looking forward to a few more spins of this one.
THE NECKS - Elemental

Listening to this Podcast, after seeing Two mesmerising concerts in Brighton & London this week. Interesting background to their 30 year existence.

Denis,
I didn't realise they were still going.
Where did they play in Brighton ?
My cd5i spinning this right now:
Active child - Mercy
Billy Ocean - Here You Are / The Best Of.
Heard "Red Light Spells Danger" on Forever FM t'other night.
Prompted much off key singing from your truly, so .................... this dropped through the letterbox this morning.
A few pence at the Rainforest.

Ordered it

Didn't know that was out, either. Have just ordered one from the long river.
Nipping back to the 80s for a while...
Sade - Diamond Life
The more I grow familiar with the opera, the more I enjoy it. It's tempting to regard the work as Bellini-in-progress, looking at Rossini for inspiration, but by itself, it must rank with the best works of the period in entertainment value. Performance and production are excellent.
Cheers

Force Of Progress, Calculated Risk on CD.
Instrumental Prog with Keyboards galore, a bit of fun this one.

Something very disturbingly wrong with her legs in that picture ?
Alison Moyet - Alf.
Some more '80's vibe from Alison.
The very first CD ever purchased.

Its a classic.
She was signed for the record breaking sum of £8 million when she went solo.
Her record company got there money back with that album and some.
Her new album is meant to be really good.
I've not heard it yet.

Can't see anything wrong with Ms Krall's legs myself.
