A friend has just given me a most remarkable record - it's called 'Audience of One' and is by someone called Oren Ambarchi. It's a bit soundscape, but also quite melodic, very experimental but not in a for the sake of it sort of way. There are four sides and each side is a track (ah, just noticed that isn't quite true).

Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters. lullaby and the Ceaseless Road (CD). Picked up at HMV in Manchester today.
Another excellent album from Percy. Still coming up with new ideas. I wasn't very fussed on either Raising Sand or the Band of Joy and would have welcomed a further album from the Strange Sensations. I bought this on the back of seeing his Glastonbury performance on the BBC, which I thoroughly enjoyed and as his backing band are pretty much the Strange Sensations, this is perhaps just what I was looking for.
I love the production/mastering on this too nice job by Robert and Bob Ludwig; it sounded ace on the cans earlier.
Quiet Sun - Mainstream..
Here also spinnning the new one by Robert Plant. Promising start have to say!

Today I borrowed a couple of Frank Zappa CDs from my next door neighbour. I can't say I knew any of his stuff, so it was time to educate myself.
So, this morning I had a listen to Chunga's Revenge.
Now, I'm listening to Hot Rats.
I reckon I'll be buying copies of both albums.
I also listened to Vittorio Grigolo's "The Romantic Hero".
So quite an eclectic mix of music today :)
I guess it's been more than 15 years from the previous listening :)

Tyrannosaurus Rex - Prophets Seers Sages The Angels Of The Age

1968
Regal Zonophone Records
One of the first albums I ever bought! A great album, must give it a spin again sometime. At the time I didn't appreciate what a contribution Steve Peregrin Took's backing vocals made. Managed to see them live a couple of times, post Took, with Mickey Finn, but prior to their becoming T. Rex.Quote:

The UME releases are taken from the best quality and lowest generation masters available to the Zappa family, and they have the original mixes of the material.

Rush - Power Windows (LP, Polygram Holland 1985)
I really like Rush's 80's work, much easier to take in than the shouty rock of the 70's. There are, of course, exceptions!
Actually, it's the first time I have heard it. It's been on my wish list for some time and I saw a secondhand copy of the CD when out shopping yesterday.Quote:
