    great track


    Godfather again






  • New FADs "Amplifier".
    I seem to be feeling happy ATM. Despit the drizzle. :-)
  • What a delight it is that evolution has bestowed such a joy in the perception of all these bangs and crashes, and jingle-jangles and vocalisations!

    Air Liquide "If There was no Gravity".

    Could do without the prattling on for the first minute or so, but otherwise, excellent.
    Rising High Records have put out some cracking ambient tunes over the years...


  • I've gone all Rising High chill out.
    This one "School of Fish" by Dreamfish was my favourite meditation / stoned track at college back in the early 90s.
    B-)
    I remember that when the bass rumbles in at around 13:20 I would get these cool body rushes...
    @-)


  • I really like the clean, organic-type sounds that Mix Master Morris is able to generate, this time as The Irresistable Force ("Sky High").
    The quality and textures of the sounds in his tracks seems to have as much of an impact on me as the rhythms / melodies / arrangements do... Just love the soaring patches, ripples and squelches in this...


  • PLAY LOUD!

    Hey Chris

    REM where good once and that track is one of my fav's here are some more



    BTW thanks i'd forgotten the 10,000 Maniacs

    Let's have some Grandaddy




    Was that originally a Springsteen song? Then Patti did a really nice thing with it.


  • Document is my favourite REM album by a light year :)

    That is also the only Grandaddy album I like all the way through.

    Top choice for Prince RIP, can't do better than that.

    ....but for now...






  • But I always have to return to something a little, erm, rockier!

    Downloaded and burned a CD of Pitch Black last night and had a little play this morning. I only have small standmount speakers but the quantity of the lowest bass they could muster was fun! Enough to reverberate around the house.
    I'd love to hear that on some speakers than can dig deep and move serious amounts of air.
    :D
  • Yes pretty cool bass tester.

    BIG change of tempo now, I do enjoy some snippets from the British folk outfits and one of the most enjoyable for me is Bellowhead. As I've just found out they're on their farewell tour I've been having my own farewell listen.








  • Craig Taborn Trio - Chants

    One of my albums of the decade so far. Maybe my album of the decade. Takes the piano trio somewhere it hasn't been before.

    The first track:

    A pecularity of mine is that I find piano music to brash for my auditory pleasure, prefering instead the harpsichord. Those supposedly in the know say it's a less expressive instrument than the piano but I beg (dare?) to differ.



    It has of course been used to great effect in modern music, plays out at 4 mins...



    ...and of course the intro to...



    A modern sonata, I particularly like the third piece starting at 5:50



    There are also some very modern horrors commited on the H as well, maybe just beyond my own sense of melody.


  • Too brash for your metal-hardened ears, Chris???? :-)
  • Sorry Dave, you'll need to speak up, what was that?
    :-S
  • Lumen Drones - Lumen Drones

    and

    Louis Sclavis - Napolis Walls
  • The Icicle Works. Apart from their two better known hits here's two at either end of their spectrum.






  • Some friends went to see them in Brighton this week. Last night? 
  • Yes same here, that's what inspired a listening session
    ;)
  • You saw them in Brighton?
  • Eaah gringo, what you sayin' tio?

    No, friends went, apparently it was a really good show too.
  • Ah. I understand. I thought you weren't anywhere near Brighton.
  • Iro Haarla - Vespers

    then

    Harriet Tubman - Ascension. Where the IQ DAC shows its weaknesses :-(
  • Mano Dibango "African Battle"
    Very "Friday" :-D

  • Ah'm shakin ma booty!
  • Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk

    This could be my favourite album of Monk solo pieces - I tend to prefer him with a band.

    Solo Monk was described by Tom Waits recently as '...astronaut music from Bedlam' :-)


  • Captain Beefheart - Doc at the Radar Station
  • After dipping into:

    The Rolling Stones - Exile on Mainstreet

    (I don't know why, really, I don't much like it)

    Frank Zappa - The Yellow Shark

    because I'm feeling confused this morning.
  • Nothing! A fiddle too far on my work rig and have jiggered it
    :(

    Hopefully a dodgy/damaged solder joint somewhere.
  • Oh poop, Chris.

    I hope it's nothing too serious.
  • Recommended by Chuck D on Twitter:

  • And Gilles Peterson noticed this and RT'ed it:



    Listening to it now.
  • Randy Weston - Uhuru Afrika/Highlife
  • McCoy Tyner - 44th Street Suite

    Looks like a jazz piano morning shaping up here ;-)
  • You can't have a jazz piano day(!) without the great man:
