That should blow a few cobwebs away 

LP - Decca / A Gama Records Limited Production © 1976 : )

This original vinyl pressing is hitting the spot : )

Played The Snow Goose earlier; my Music On Vinyl   copy doesn't really do it justice, too digital like listening to a CD, perhaps a fitting accolade to my organising attempt of a street snow shovel party this afternoon - i was the only one who turned up to shovel snow on our col-de-dac gradient, i got a fairly good job done [on my lonesome] but felt such a goose : (

Debs

A mixture of jazz and modern black music, will need a couple of turns to get my head around this one...

ECM like jazz, subtile and tuneful...

Stevee_S recommended this Gilmour album to me a few days ago and this is my first play. I like what I'm hearing.

Always thought that this was his best solo album.

I've been enjoying some great music from Matt Johnson over the last few days.

This one's getting a play tonight..

The The - Infected

  Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - Give The People What They Want.

  Some classic retro soul from Sharon and the boys ................. sadly missed.

An old classic of mine (oh, how enjoyable it was to see them on stage with that program...)

Trovesi / Coscia - Fugace

Mecano 

A special flavor with the snow outside:

For the people with an imperfect eyesight: Eddie Gomez, bass & Eliot Sigmund, drums

A fairly recent discovery for me courtesy of Stevee_S. A very pleasing blend of early ‘70s influences, Led Zep, Jethro Tull, Traffic... Not just a pastiche, they have their own sound, although the influences shine through on this album, having seen Percy a week ago a few wails sounded familiar. Really enjoyable music.

Sounds interesting. who plays ? And What  ?

This is the first Wolf People album. They play like the early 70s we’re still in vogue (and that’s in a good way) and playing rock music shouldn’t forget the fact that a good tune helps a lot.

On a personal level they remind me of that not quite rock, not quite prog, not quite folk band The Horslips. The place for the neutral to start is the rather excellent second album, Fain.

Thanks Gary, I’d missed the question to me. As you say, early 70s style in a good way, and I think The Fain was the first I listened to, available in Tidal and probably all the other streaming services. Good musicians with good songs. 

  Otis Taylor - White African.

  Last one of the evening, ............... some late night trance blues from Otis.

  Nighty night. 

Almost 34 years old but still one of my all time favourites

Now Playing......

Stephan Micus - Inland Sea

Stephan Micus (Balanzikom, Nyckelharpa, Chord and Bass Zithers, Shakuhachi, Voice, Steel String Guitar, and Genbri)

Streaming on TIDAL........   Going with a mention from SJUST earlier today, through the first three tracks and enjoying the music.

Note from the ECM Records website here:

Inland Sea is Stephan Micus’ 22nd solo album for ECM, each one taking his audience on musical journeys to far-flung places and unique sound worlds. For decades, he has been travelling, collecting and studying musical instruments from all over the world and creating new music for them. Micus often combines instruments from different cultures and continents that would never normally be played together, adapting and extending them, and rarely playing them in a traditional manner. The instruments then become a cast of characters that help tell the particular story of that album. While he plays nine different instruments on Inland Sea, the lead role belongs to the nyckelharpa – a keyed fiddle from Sweden, with an array of other instruments and vocals providing layers and textures throughout.
