Back from holiday only one way to start with my system again

Bert, 

very nice album! The base in "You look good to me" is so impressive.

Bert,

Whenever I get back from holiday or change something to the system, I take this album. It's great to listen at multiple aspects of your system. While it's not the best for testing, but I am so familiar with this one that it works.

I am not so into the fortepiano topic, but this albums is a good exception to the rule.

I am enjoying my first listen to Savoy Brown. Looking forward to exploring their other albums.

Twelve tracks. Go figure. Fab and funky grooves.

A fine mastering job by Glenn Meadows who did a similarly grand job on the 'Citizen Steely Dan' box set.

John.

Walter Becker apparently said it was a joke. A clerical error in your favour!

 Will be of interest for our Kevster..

Just adding to the Frappiness after Kevin's earlier boot.

September tomorrow.

Bought this today from HMV in Sheffield  to replace my snap, crackle & pop original. I have not been in HMV since the release of Blackstar, must say they have an awful lot of vinyl in stock, thought I had gone back to the late 80s before the death of vinyl! 

 

Yet sadly the quality is not a lot better, despite 180g.

Just finished

Agitation Free - Live in Tokyo

Gave this another spin this am, really enjoy this album!

Now Playing.....

Branford Marsalis - In My Solitude: Live at Grace Cathedral

Another album that I really enjoy! Outstanding.......

Following last night's Tom Lehrer live albums with Flanders & Swann live, extremely clever and witty songs, some satirical, some not, performed by two men who knew how to put on a great show, the intros are often nearly as funny as the songs. Ill Wind has stuck in my mind so much over the years that whenever I hear K.495 my brain adds the words to this over the rondo. (It's a song set to that Mozart Horn Concerto lamenting that Flanders's French Horn had been stolen.)

Her first and still my favourite alongside Tales of Us.

What a stunning collection of Tom Waits tracks while he was with Island Records

They also sort of morphed into Foghat.

A double live CD recorded on 30th January 2011 during their Missa Atropos tour at Dingwalls, Camden Town. A really good gig that I was lucky enough to trip over when I was back down in London. These are an excellent Norwegian prog' band should any forum members wish to "discover" them.

Brad Mehldau - Three pieces after Bach.

Talking Heads - 77

On vinyl. I'm supposed to be cooking. I can't tear myself away.

Now Playing.......

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Local dealer just dropped off a pair of used Ovator S-400 speakers and the first album is the HI-Res 192/24 recording of 'Kind of Blue' and it sounds sweet...... or perhaps I should say it sounds sweeter.

WAV Rip of Blackwater by Altan, my favourite Irish traditional band. This is a poignant album, their first after the early death of their founder and flautist Frankie Kennedy, as ever with Altan the musicianship is superb and the interpretations are musical and lovely. The final two pieces, the traditional Blackwaterside and A Song for Frankie (written by his widow Mairead, the violinist and singer of the band) are as poignant and elegiac as any music in my collection.
