R3 FM; Russian Orthodox service. Ignore the obvious religious horlicks; the music is wonderful. Very powerful solo voices.

1992 - Vinyl - UK first pressing...

 

I saw them play at the Brixton Acadamy mid 90's, They were Late, Very Loud, Very Very Angey then Pi$$ed off early, Brilliant.

I've never seen them live, but I did catch Tom Morello at a small venue in Vancouver a few years back. He's quite something.

And that image is quite something too. I think it's in Vietnam, but can't be certain. The ultimate, final protest by a Buddhist monk.

John Potter - Ambrose Field: Being Dufay

John Potter (tenore); Ambrose Field (compositore, elettronica live e in studio)

Continuation of the exploration of the ECM catalogue, streaming from TIDAL

On the third track and something quite peaceful and beautiful for a Sunday morning.......

Note from ECM website: British tenor John Potter and fellow countryman Ambrose Field, composer of electronic/digital music, offer a striking juxtaposition of Renaissance music and present-day technology: In seven interconnected pieces, vocal fragments from the songs and sacred works by Guillaume Dufay (1397–1474) soar beautifully above Ambrose Field’s vast and multi-faceted soundscapes. “Then as now, music was not forever fixed but lived and breathed through the imaginations of former musicians and their listeners”, writes Field in his liner notes for “Being Dufay”. Potter’s voice immerses itself with great ease in the allusively processed sounds. Amrose Field: “The fragments of original Dufay are always presented entirely unaltered, and serve as a reference point or cantus firmus within what is new. From that new perspective, I wanted to explore the limits of the electronic medium, and produce a new set of musical colours.”

Eagles 40th Anniversary edition.

Nicely done covers/originals album with Bonnie in fine voice & picking like a pro.

Santo Spirito Blues by Chris Rea on Tidal. Its an album I don't have and I am checking it out to se if I like it before I splash out. My verdict is its typical Rea, damn good stuff! Now when does Sound Knowledge in Marlborough open?

Sounding rather good this afternoon - Gorgeous voice and a fine recording too. 

Eva Cassidy - Nightbird

Got it and although its one of the best, my LP version is even better infact its just superb. I would like the 45rpm version but at the mo its too much for me. 

Now Playing.......

The Downland Project: - John Potter - Night Sessions 

John Potter (tenor), John Surman (saxophones, bass clarinet, percussion), Stephen Stubbs (lute), Maya Homburger (violin), Milos Valent (violin, viola), and Barry Guy (double bass) 

The ECM Catalogue exploration continues...

Streaming from TIDAL

Review from ISRAbox website found here:

English tenor John Potter's Dowland Project returns with the album Night Sessions, following In Darkness Let Me Dwell, Care-Charming Sleep and Romaria in a highly successful series. From its inception, The Dowland Project has drawn upon different musical traditions including those of 'early music' and improvisation. These "Night Sessions" emphasize the group's improvisational flexibility and resourcefulness, as the musicians create new music in the moment, sometimes with medieval poetry as inspirational reference and guide.

There are also a number of 'daytime' pieces worked up, Potter notes, from small amounts of notation: 'Menino Jesus á Lappa' is based on Portuguese pilgrim song fragments and 'Theoleptus 22' built around a Byzantine chant. Lute fantasias are taken from Dalza's Intabolatura de Lauto (Venice, 1508) and Attaignant's Tres breve et familiere introduction...a jouer toutes chansons (Paris, 1529). The oldest compositions are Can vei la lauzeta mover - a love song by the 12th century troubadour Bernart de Ventadorn, and Fumeux fume by the 14th century avant-gardist Solage.

Two incarnations of the Dowland Project are heard here, the original band with Potter, lutenist Stephen Stubbs and saxophonist John Surman joined by bassist Barry Guy and baroque violinist Maya Homburger, and the revised line-up with Milos Valent on violin and viola. The sessions were recorded in the wonderful acoustic of the church at the St Gerold monastery in the Austrian Alps.

It was indeed Vietnam Clive.

Charles our parakeet (picture on the profile) has been complaining of too many ECMs albums being played so we agreed about the next 10 to be non-Manfred's. This is a lovely vinyl from 1979 featuring Thomas Zehetmair the kid on Telefunken:

  Fink - Wheels Turn Beneath My Feet.

  Met up this afternoon with the folks I accompanied on Friday to see Fink in Manchester .......... everyone still talking about what a great

  gig it was, so ......................... this live album, which is beautifully recorded, and captures the live atmosphere wonderfully.

  Sorry for the Fink overload recently, I'll try to escape the present endless Fink loop, and think of something else to play! 

King Crimson - Lizard. Someone else posted this recently. I play this so infrequently that I couldn't even remember the title when I saw it posted here. I thought I'd give it a spin. This version is the 2001 Robert Fripp remaster, completely untouched by Steven Wilson.

Amazing how much energy flows through in this album, enjoyable. Hope this wasn’t the last tour @- otherwise I would hate myself for missing the last concert tour...

(1970)

Just fancied some early Stills. 

Carla Bley - 'Trios' after it was mentioned in the Kabin. Great sound even 16bit/44.1kHz.
