What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Masaaki Suzuki - Brandenburg Concertos
If you like the Duke, I would suggest this is one for you. Powerful swing in action.
On the Music on Vinyl label - repro is very good.
Liam Gallagher, As You Were. To my surprise, and despite him being a total prat, this is an excellent album and well worth a listen. Flac via Audirana/Hugo
Fink - Resurgam.
Up there with his best, but then, has Fink ever released a less than great album?
Trying to get familiar with the choons, as we're off to see him in Manchester next month.
Now Playing.......
Tom Adams - Silence
Good Morning. Start the day with some 'Silence.'
Now Playing.......
Tracy Chapman - Matters of The Heart
Contining on with some Friday Morning music, and picking up the pace at bit ...... Bang Bang Bang
Some further sampling, interesting....
Staying with the Monk theme...
1973 - vinyl - UK first pressing...
Recorded in Berlin 2015 and produced by Andreas Neubronner. Three major compositions of keyboard variations masterfully played by Levit. Listening to the Beethoven now…stunning!
Fink - Sort Of Revolution.
Well, they do say one good thing leads to another, so ....................... more Fink.
He's a bit good, innit? ................... oh, and as a bonus, all of his music is beautifully recorded.
Now Playing.......
Lorrie Morgan - Greatest Hits
Time for some Friday morning country music, some steel guitar and twang.......

'Cos, when you get right down to it ...................twang's the thang!
Coldplay - "Live 2012" (2012)
Frappage - Silver Eye
'Why?' is impossible.
1973 - vinyl - UK first pressing...
Mozart - Clarinet Quintet & Oboe Quartet - vinyl
These sound amazingly good. Hard to beat the quality of Deutsche Grammophon. Gradually getting back into music after my robotic prostatectomy surgery 23 days ago.
Really glad I bought the 4m SL speaker cable as the demo 5m does not sound as good. Probably should have gone for 3.5m which Naim say is the Optimum length and would just have reached. Why pay more for reduced SQ.
Phil
Good album..
Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - "Dark Night Of The Soul" (2010)
Sun Ra - Reflections in Blue. Qobuz 16/44.1. Rec. 1986, rel. 1987. I thought of playing this one when I posted in the Sun Ra thread. A fun one.
First play, on vinyl...
Anyone here familiar with the music of Al Petteway?
I’ve just discovered this lovely album via Radio Paradise - and ordered a copy.
John.
Death Cab For Cutie - "Narrow Stairs" (2008)
The eponymous Suzanne Vega record.
It's that time on a Friday.
I saw these guys a few weeks ago at the Tramshed in Cardiff.
It was a fantastic gig.
