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

An album I very much like but it's also one of those that I find replaying in the back of my mind for days afterwards.

(1971)

Meddle, the one that really got me into 'Floyd... It's been a bit of a while since playing it and the mood is upon me. 

Curiously, earlier this evening I played the Reverber/ation disc from the Floyd Early Years box, which features an extended BBC session of Meddle-era stuff. Excellent.

If I'm totally honest, and it'll probably get me banned, Meddle was the last PF album I really loved. I liked DSOTM and WYWH a lot (and thereafter it all started to dwindle for me), but by then they'd lost that psychedelic gleam in their eye.

Bob Dylan

Blood On The Tracks - 24bit 96kHz Wave

My favorite Bob Dylan album.

Edward

Mine too. I just wish it were possible to get hold of the New York sessions version of this album. Some tracks can be heard on YouTube, If you've not heard them, it's worth checking out. Quite refreshing (and not the same as those on the official bootleg album).

Thanks for recommending the "New York Sessions" i will listen to them tomorrow as it is to late tonight.

Edward

Those who like the original will also like this one....

E.S.T. Symphony - Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra ... and soloists

This really does work - the recording's very good and the arrangements add something to the already excellent originals. Good stuff.

Fred Simon - Dreamhouse

OK, this is a bit of a Forum cliche by now, but I love this album. Back when I worked and had more to worry about for a Monday morning than what walk to take and whether I should take the cat to the vet, this album never failed to calm and bolster me on a Sunday evening, ready to help repel the hordes of undead who would be assailing my poor understaffed and tragically misunderstood IT Department the next week (and all subsequent weeks).

Fred, if you still haunt these pages, thank you - the CD has paid for itself a thousand times over and is a testimony to the restorative powers of music.

Is this the 'lost' album - recorded in the early 70s and not released until now? I have a few Terry and the Prates albums which I like (with John Cipollina). How do you find this one?
Clive

Hi Clive yes it is the lost album. Not sure why WB never released it at the time. I quite enjoy the album though in places it does sound dated.

The New York Sessions are highly recommended. It has been rumoured for sometime that they may come out as part of the Bootleg Series but we will just have to wait and see.

From 1993:

Egberto Gismonti: piano, guitar, flute
Nando Carneiro: synthesizers, guitar, caxixi
Zeca Assumpção: bass, rainwood

The Very Best Of Cheryl Crow. On CD from 2003. From earlier this evening at loudish volume while my wife was making carrot cake and I was preparing grilled salmon served on delicately toasted ciabatta with a habanero, pineapple, and green onion salsa. If it all sounds good, it was.

I don't have Floyd's full monty Early Years box rather the two disc box Cre/ation, which is excellent. Those BBC sessions you mention are very good if they are the ones I'm thinking of circa 71-72, one with the John Peel another as Radio 1? I only have it on a bootleg (with surprisingly good SQ) but they are great, highly enjoyable performances, I might just give it a two hour spin tonight!

(29th January 2017)

This runs to nearly two hours so just playing the first hour. Early initial thoughts are that the first track is reminiscent of Blade Runner lets hope it continues in that vein.
