Following Steve’s inspiration I started the day with the original version of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, and for some reason this then popped in my head.

Som great tracks and excerpts from the movie, but scarily over 30 years old now!
The only track that comes to my mind is "You never can tell".Quote:

Probably the most inaccessible Album that I own, but well worth the effort.
Good one there Dom. I bought a copy simply for "No Mule's Fool", which wasn't on any of their stand alone LPs in the UK.

System up and running again eh, Mart... How's the Linn compared to the Krell? Still keeping the magic? I've got a few metres of 40 year-old Linn K20 speaker cable going free if you want :)
Not so sure actually - I think it's lacking bass compared to previously but it's three weeks since I last listened.Quote:

There would be no doubt if you had connected the speakers out of phase - there would be no stereo image.
For me it has been the first two Santana LPs.

One of the girls at the school concert sang “Gravity” by Sarah Bareilles, a beautiful song which closes her debut album “Little Voice” from 2007 and I’ve not played this in at least a decade, so here we go. :)

A face that only a mother could love but, I apologise not, because it is the best put together compilation Album of the era / genre, imo.
This and the next album are two of the most underrated albums of their time in my opinion.
First this great album from Peter Grant, a superb collection of songs with great orchestration and Peters phenomenal vocals, with phrasing to rival the very best by which I mean the governor, Francis Albert Sinatra !
Tracklist
1. Joanna
2. Walk Away
3. The Best Is Yet To Come
4. The Windmills Of Your Mind
5. Spooky
6. The Fool On The Hill
7. The Girl From Ipanema
8. We've Only Just Begun
9. I Saw Her Standing There
10. The More I See You
11. You're The First, The Last, My Everything
12. Didn't We
13. On Days Like These
14. All The Way
Bonus Track
15. Modern Way

Peter Grant began singing at the age of six and played at working men's clubs from the age of 12. He grew up in Guiseley, north-west of Leeds, West Yorkshire, and was a pupil at Guiseley High School.
His first album New Vintage was released in April 2006, and entered at No. 8 on the UK Albums Chart, largely thanks to his chat show appearances with Michael Parkinson, Davina McCall and GMTV, where he made his TV debut.

Two excellent and underrated albums there Idle.
I have her first two (?) albums. Don't hear anything about her these days - what is she up to?Quote:

Originally bought this because it has three tracks with Kirsty Hawkshaw on vocals (Opus III and many other collaborations). Not played in years, it’s great if you like Techno/Trance. Frenchman Samuel Paquet released a follow up Pop Model in 2010 which is also good but then seems to have disappeared.
Not a big Queen fan, but I do like this album. Plus it's got my favourite Queen track Now I'm Here.Quote:

Awesome album. But I didn't have to kill her.
