Prokofiev - Piano sonatas.

For some reason I decided a long time ago that Prokofiev isn't my kind of music. Hence, I completly ignored his music. The last six month I started listening to his music again and discovered that I like his music. 

I could never have any bad thoughts about his music after hearing his March 'Love for Three Oranges' at a very early age:

Good One. Have you listened to this one?

Stevie Wonder - Songs in The Key of Life

Wiki tells me this was the last record of the three that comprise his 'Classic phase', the other two having had mentions here recently. Who am I to argue?!

Sides 1 and 4 are on one record, 2 and 3 on the other. Always baffled me.

I'd guess it's for auto changers. You set up to play 1 then 2, then flip both records for 3 and 4.

Good read:

I've seen this mentioned quite a few times lately by some of the regulars so it was duly ordered. Got back from a few days away and it was waiting for me. Ripped and copied across to the Melco so it's time for listen 

Aimee Mann - Mental Illness

Give it a few plays, James. Being one of those who has recommended this album on a few occasions I'd be interested to hear what you think.

CD - Warner Bros 1978 : )

37 minutes short but sweet album.

Becomes a 1 hour 15 minute version by playing it twice : )

Of all the live discs that I've played so far from the 22 disc box set, this is my current favourite. Some superb guitar playing from Mr Hillage and great sound quality too. This one really cooks. I think they must have been having fun at this show.

Love the Bix Beirderbecke covers & "Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now".........

As usual, Radio Paradise this morning followed by:

BNQT - Volume 1. Is it just me or is this a dog's breakfast of styles?

Feist - Pleasure. Finding it hard to warm to this one.

Inna de Yard - The Soul Of Jamaica.

Beautifully done acoustic Roots Reggae compilation ............. highly recommended .................. and, ............. it's there on Tidal. 

Enjoyed this one a lot while cooking dinner.  Great shout Dave.  Cheers N.

His best album from 67.

Saw this mentioned on the forum earlier so ordered the vinyl version yesterday, so was a bit surprised that it arrived today, so giving it a listen. All excellent so far!

Original vinyl

Why? Time for something lively! Spurs beat Man U and Lewis won the Spanish GP. What's not to like?

A nice one by Bill Evans.

If you like Memphis soul ala Al Green try this. Great album from a 75 year old veteran.

Starts off with a fabulous version of the old Nickel and a Nail written by Van the Man and made famous by OV Wright.

Tom Waits and Crystal Gale - One from the Heart, always amazes me how much this pairing works and I have worn out my first copy, so it's good there are a couple in reserve
