Aimee Mann - Lost In Space
Streaming on TIDAL....... It's Friday, end of the week, end go the year, "Lost In Space"
Strange but I can’t find this on Tidal, I have full subscription for for Aimee Mann I only get three albums: Mental Illness, Charmer and Whatever
am I missing something ?
When I do a search on Aimee Mann the following albums appear: Mental Illness, Charmer, @#%&*! Smilers, One More Drifter, The Forgotten Arm, Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Lost in Space, Bachelor # 2, I'm With Stupid, and Whatever.
In the listing when doing the search mine only lists three but when you select "Show All Albums >" it will list them all.
Thanks. I don’t get a ‘show more’ option for Aimee Mann
oh well
Just did a Tidal search for Aimee Mann and I get the same result as DWootton i.e. Just the three albums and no sign of 'Lost In Space' and I have the full fat HiFi subscription for Tidal. I wonder why we are being short changed in the UK, if it is a regional difference.

2003 - Tidal...
Also listening to this now, sounds as a nice compliment concert. Can’t publish myself due to ongoing imgur problems. Seems less key a repeat we have will all publishing services they work for a while fine and then we need to switch again, frustrating....
Charlie Haden has played a sequence of evenings in Montreal with people that had been influential company in his career, and it was a sequence of special evenings, without exception. Geri Allen and Paut Motian playing with him on this one. I bow and say Thank you !
On original vinyl
Why? I've just finished reading Andrew O'Neill's excellent "A History Of Heavy Metal" and it reminded I haven't had a good thrash for ages.

Giving my new Swiss Army Knife (NAC N272) a good workout...
Very impressed so far.

I had to finish off the year with at least something from Walter Becker, this one a lovely sounding SACD rip. Imgur continues to be overwhelmed (or whatever) so this is just a stock image nabbed from Amazon

BTW, there's a UK 2CD special version with the second CD containing five songs from her performing live in Paris. It's rather nice, if you can find it.

Tord Gustavsen Trio - Being There
Tord Gustavsen (piano), Harald Johnson (double-bass), and Jarle Vespestad (drums).
Streaming on TIDAL......... Enjoy Tord's piano playing quite a bit and his albums I have found to be fantastic!
Note on ECM Records here:
Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen views “Being There” as the third instalment of a trilogy that began with “Changing Places” (recorded 2001 and 2002) and continued with “The Ground” (recorded 2004). On “Being There” the music’s priorities are maintained. The album’s title is borrowed from a tune on “The Ground”, intentionally stressing the continuity of the music, and also underlining its working concept, characterized by Gustavsen as “being acutely present, aware and focused in the fullness of the moment. The group has a definite direction or sound, but there are still many nuances to explore.” Gustavsen’s clearly-delineated melodies define a large part of the group’s sonic identity, but so does the manner in which the trio approaches them. Technical flamboyance has almost no role to play in Gustavsen’s sound-world: restraint is one of the music’s hallmarks. “On the one hand”, he notes, “this is a matter of discipline, but it’s a discipline inspired by a love of spaces, not by some anorectic minimalist ideology. It’s about ‘loving every note’ – to phrase it as a slogan – or about trying to play what you’d actually like to hear rather than what you think you ought to play.” This ‘holding back’ allows room for other musical developments to flower naturally, one of which has been the drifting of Jarle Vespestad’s drums towards the centre of the sound: the drums are, as Gustavsen says, a crucial component of the music. If this has been a tendency of performances in the live setting almost from the beginning, it is especially evident on “Being There”.here
