Haven't played it in so long and for me it doesn't wear well.

Another one of those albums that I haven't played in years

Art Pepper - Darn that Dream, RealTime CD rip. Good band, recording and playing - a bit less than 3 months  before Art's passing.

Now listening to W.A.S.P the Crimson Idol, not sure if it's my kind of music...

How did you get on with "The Crimson Idol"? I love it! (but then, I'm a W.A.S.P fan )

For something a bit different from 'regular' W.A.S.P, try "KFD" - good & noisy (or a wall of noise, depending on your point of view... )!

I have to say it was better than I expected, but not so much my thing, I like more challenging heavy music...

(1977)

Via Hi-Res Tidal Masters, their second album released eight years after their debut.

A byproduct of his work as jazz pianist, ok, but not so engaging as his other work...

On CD:-

Delaney & Bonnie - To Bonnie From Delaney

Posted on: 18 January 2017 by joerand

Little Richard. Rock 'n' Roll Legends. On CD from 2008. Twenty fantastic tracks from 1955-59. If you're into the roots of rock this is quintessential listening.

(1982)

More CSN on Tidal Masters because I often forget how very good they could be.

Transit Kings - Living In A Giant Candle Winking At God

This morning's walkies (weather sunny, very cold, cheerful) music: Transit Kings are (were?) a side project of Alex Paterson and friends (Jimmy Cauty co-writes much of it). The music is somewhere between house and trip hop and is predictably sampledelic (for example the video mixes plainchant with one of former Looney Tunes-turned-electronic pioneer Raymond Scott's jingles (included as a postscript).

More boomtastic:

This and the follow up album of remixes, Early Bath are both terrific. 

 

That Raymond Scott piece:

This is a really fine piano trio album with nice contrasts between calm and intensity. There is a new one just released which I'll get round to in a day or two.

I like the new one, it's good - in a way it's better than this one...

I've been listening to a lot of his work of late. This really is a fitting finale.
