Yes, I am going from light classical music to very heavy progressive metal music. The only things I don't like are country music and hip hop....
Early 1980s vinyl:
A + | WAV
(1973)
B.I.L.L. - Spielwiese 2
This is Bell (Jah Wobble et al.), Irmler (Faust), Liebezeit, Lippok (To Rococo Rot) in a typically mixed bag of krauty goodness, all tied together by Jaki's imaginative drumming.
I am starting to enjoy the music of Gerry Mulligan more and more...
On CD:-
Elbow - The Take Off And Landing Of Everything

I was wondering what to listen to first - this'll do nicely
1971 - Vinyl - Uk first pressing...
A + | WAV
(1982)
Seeing what your playing Tony and my first thought was Elkie Brooks, so on she goes.
Bruce Hornsby a great musician and pianist. Started out as a pop / rock musician but is influenced by both Jazz and Classical music which can be heard during his live performances. This CD is a good example of that.
1993 - Vinyl - U.K. First pressing...
The first track, about 7/7, never fails to elicit an emotional response and take me back to that day.
CD: Lovely stuff... but you knew I'd say that, wouldn't I?

Original vinyl
Why? Criminally under-rated trio's one and only release. I saw them support The Quireboys (who were cr*p) at the Hammersmith Odeon and bought the LP at the first opportunity.

I See You - The xx
Very much enjoying giving this their latest album, a listen...
Now available as Hi-Res on Qobuz
A + | WAV
(1966)
Very well recorded (double album ) with good SQ, I'm settling down with a decent malt, Sinatra and Count Bassie for what was one of those classic recordings that captured a great night in Vegas.
First play for this mono album, from the superb The Rolling Stones In Mono vinyl box set:
just watching Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and the music reminded me that I hadn't listened to this in a while.....

Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger
Not heard any of this gentleman's stuff before today but listened to this tonight on Tidal and very much enjoyed it.
Nice recommendation, James.
Cheers
