I have enjoyed Mogwai since the day they kicked off with Young Team twenty years ago. Their new one is a solid album but has yet to grab me in the way their earlier albums always did. More spins required, obviously. 

 

Steve,

Stick with it it gets better with each spin.

Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the cradle.

From allmusic.com

Lindsey Buckingham quit Fleetwood Mac after the release of their Tango in the Night album in 1987 and spent the subsequent five years working on his first post-Mac solo album, Out of the Cradle. Perhaps because he was now focused on his solo career, Buckingham reined in the experimental style of his first two albums, producing more conventional, accessible material, much of it similar to his later work with Fleetwood Mac. The inventiveness this time was heard largely in Buckingham's electro-acoustic guitar style, which combined the power of a rock guitarist with the delicacy and precision of a classical nylon-string player. Perhaps the biggest difference from his previous solo work, however, was that Buckingham actually wrote a group of songs that were about something, not just riffs full of aural tricks. Unfortunately, Buckingham had never fully established himself in the public mind as a separate entity apart from Fleetwood Mac, so taking eight years between solo albums made Out of the Cradlea tough sell. Which means that, although this is his most listenable solo album to date, not many people heard it.

Thanks all for the kind wishes. However I am back home again without the operation. There was a long operation and 3 emergency cases, which had priority I will be forced to challenge my nerves a second time on coming Friday...

Great! Get back into your music for another week Bert

UK first press on Factory, 1980. Because after making The Greatest Debut Album Of All Time™ they followed it up with omething almost as good...

(Released today)

Giving The Horrors latest release a whirl on Tidal, this is sounding well up to their usually form which is very good indeed.

Thanks Dave I will. I really got into the last few tracks and let's face it Mogwai don't do bad albums. 

Cheers 

I fancied a bit of old Rog. So, why not his new (well, last) one on vinyl?

Fancied a listen to Ms Krall before dinner.

Big John Patton - Got a good thing goin'

One of those classic Blue Note records. And with Grant Green you know it's good.

A stunning album.

(2002)

Simon Posford in Hallucinogen guise going all dub over some of his original tracks, nice? Of course! 

Entertainment through pain, as they say. TG's 'greatest hits' on 2012 vinyl. Why? You gotta love the Gristle...

Another mention/recommendation from JEROEN20 and taking Michel out for another spin.....

Sorry to hear that but good luck again for next week.

Very relaxing especially with a large glass of Mendip Pimms (Thatcher's, Ice and a slice)

Jeff Wayne, War Of The Worlds. WAV CD Rip.

When I asked my 16yo Son to choose an album I did not expect this. Good choice as it is with Richard Burton, not the later version with Laim Neeason that left me cold.

I've never listened to this before, three singers who are masters of their craft, one or two tracks are a bit too country for me, but overall a joy to hear.

Planxty in their short-lived reunion in the early years of the century. I was lucky enough to catch them in a London gig in 2005(?), one of the finest gigs if my life. This album catches a lot of the brilliance, some of Ireland's finest traditional musicians, long time friends, playing beautifully.
