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

A + 3 | WAV

(1970 | 1994 remaster)

Why? Because I had another one of those "looking for someone" moments! 

1989 - Double vinyl - geman pressing...

Thanks to Hook for the thumbs up on this one the other day.

Arrived today. Superb album. Had to order it after a listen on Tidal. 

Running this album the first time after buying it...

Loreena McKennitt - The Visit

Kraftwerk - Computer World and The Man Machine

CD rips.

Agnes Milewski  -  "Seven Demons"  (2017)  8 song ep release, chamber pop

A + 3 | WAV

(1976 | 1994)

One thing leads to another and in this case its another excellent Definitive Edition remaster of this Genesis album which holds great memories for me. 

   Doyle Bramhall II - Rich Man.

   A quality, soul drenched, bluesy offering from Mr. Bramhall, long time sideman for Eric Clapton, among others.

Haven't heard this in years (literally). Frightening to think that this remarkable debut album was released more than a decade ago. UK first press vinyl:

One sassy lady who could really boogie. 

Sunn o))) & Boris, Altar

Really superb album. The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep) is just a beautiful, uncanny track.

Alex Cornish  -  "Hang On The Word"  (2017)

1st run, interesting pianist in this trio...

Looking forward to the follow-up album from Thumpermonkey's, Rael Jones

Steve, please try and grab an original Virgin/Chrysalis CD (or download of)  of A Trick of the Tail. I believe it was mastered by Barry Diament.  It is simply one of the best sounding discs that I own. Superb. Trust me, I'm a doctor....... 

Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Calling

   Duke Garwood - Heavy Love.

   An atmospheric, hypnotic, late night album ........... this really grooves along ............... one for fans of Otis Taylor, and Mark Lanegan.

Thanks Woy, just because you're a doctor I'm going to seek one of those originals out! Having said that the DE remasters are not too shabby!

I have both and I very much prefer the Definitive Edition Remaster from 1994.

Better than either of these, however, is the original pink hatter vinyl.

A very dynamic trio - I like it...

This should be this evening's listening sorted out.

I promised myself a listen to this after Kevin-W posted earlier this afternoon.  Much as I like Mac Mark II, listening to The Green Manalishi, Oh Well, Man of the World etc I'm powerfully reminded of just how cool I thought the original Mac was. I can just about recall a TOTP performance of Man of the World which left a big impression on me.   

Last one for today another superb album from the Black family.

LP  -  "Lost On You"  (2017)

   Eric Bibb - Migration Blues.

   More quality easy blues from the ever reliable Mr. Bibb.

   Only playing this since it's his current album, but you could choose blindfold from his back catalogue .............. they're all top notch.
