For a RHCP album, great sound!
watched "Up In Smoke" so many times that Low Rider became a bit of a Dessert Island Disc. :DQuote:

Especially now I have the turntable going straight to the amplifier via a Tisbury Passive pre-amp.
Cat Stevens - Mona Bone Jakon on vinyl. Great 1970 Album, has the single Katmandu on it featuring a very young Peter Gabriel on Flute!
Been meaning to dig this out for a couple of days now..
War: Low Rider. '87 12" single ( has to be said tho that the A side remix is a little naff....

Mike Oldfield's Wonderland....Mike Oldfield.....Virgin Records Benelux Copy .....A 1981 complilation of Mike's career up till this date...At this point his major works were complete and he was heading for a change of direction. These tracks encompass the time that Tom Newman recards as Mike's goldern era , which was for Mike a very painful time mentally .....Strangely enough Mike produced some of his best works at this time and never really recaptured that creativity again.
This complilation is quite interesting as it appears to feature a few minor remixes !

Attic Thoughts......Bo Hansson.......Sire.......US Copy This is a "much off the beaten track" record from 1974.....Hanssen is best known for his album of works inpired by "Lord Of The Rings" and even that is not mainstream. Bo Hanssen is a multi instrumentalist who favours largely instrumental work of the progressive rock nature. His Nordic origins are reflected in his work giving it a somewhat stark projrction of his themes. There is ice and smow in his approach to the ideas that he wishes to put across to the listener even though the titles of the tracks do not directly show this. The music is largely guitat keyboards and drums .His style is to use his keyboards in a gentle but cold way to busk around the themes that have been suggested to him whilst meditating in his attic on various ideas. An interesting listen but not compulsive. It improves with repeated listening but, it is not much more than an interesting listen.:)

Windham Hill Records Sampler '89.......Various Artists.........Windham Hill Records ....UK Pressing The Windham Hill samplers make an excellent entry point to this delightful world of New Age Music. Essentually a fussion of jazz, classical and modern instrumental work, these recordings are a cult thing. Sadly the genre never really took off but, it did boast some excellent music and some well known artists. Windham Hill represents the US movement and was centred around a recoding studio located in California.......The brain child of William Ackerman it became a base for like minded musicians to explore the path already built by modern jazz and classical musicians and extend it with a more organic and creative kind of music which would be the basis for a new direction music for mindfulness and meditation which reflects the seasons and the feel of nature.........:)
Excellent way of presenting your current spins! Appreciated!Quote:

Marillion - Seasons End (LP, 1989)
First LP without Fish, and to me it is not Marillion but rather just any good progressive rock band. There are some really nice songs though, Berlin for one...
Thank you!:)
Remember buying that when it came out.. fireball, was probably my fav of theirs. Not heard it for years. Think it was a matt gatefold, possibly textured?
Prefer 'In rock' but there's not much in itQuote:

...and what a listen it is. Been trying to get a copy at a decent price for 4 months and it arrived yesterday (Mint). :)
The Mars Volta are very difficult to categorise, you will either love or hate them. They are certainly thought provoking. Some I suspect will consider them pretentious or execessive. if anyone asked me who I would compare them with then I would answer "A modern King Crimson".
The Bedlam of Goliath is their 4th album, which I came across by chance and is my entry point to them, I have been told that their first De-Loused at the Comotorium is the best to start with, but I like a challenge. Bedlam is certianly a challenging listen, with lots of cross rhythms in places, with soaring hi and lows from the vocals. The dynamics of the music stretch the hi-fi big time. After a listen through once I would say the songs paint a picture of what the band say they experienced when on tour playing around with a ouija board purchased in a junk shop in Jerusalem. Whether true or just a clever bit of publicity the songs and feel of the music are certainly menacing in places and paint a vivid and intense frightening feeling of fear and control.
if you like a challenge and interesting music, get your pennies out.
Thanks for the heads up Adrian, I'll give that a go.
Great choice Adrian, and very nice write up!Quote:

I have, and like, most of The Mars Volta albums but find it difficult to name a favorite. I see them as "listen through" works though.
The SQ i find lacking, however.

nice one... i am quite keen on Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. got some on my streaming of amazon.
Aye Grant (you son of a bitch :)) they are good!
First time I heard the song (on Radio Paradise) I thought it was George Ezra? Kinda similar sounding?
Kinda tripped over them by accident from my Tidal subscription, wondering if i was the last guy on earth to find out about them! :)
As always a trendsetter ;)Quote:

Pitch Black - Filtered Senses
Recent Pitch Black album. Bass junkie stuff. The last minute and a half of Pixel Dust has some insane bass - if you have full range speakers at volume it will leave you thinking WTF? You will need genuine LF extension to understand it though. My 2nd system misses it entirely.

Both the above for £1 each, needed a good clean, both in pretty good condition, a little surface noise but a good listen.

Picked up this at the same time, needed a clean but is in excellent condition sounds like new, and whats more amazing music, worth hunting a copy of this out if you like aspects of Indian music.
