LOOP - The World In Your Eyes
Me too. A recent purchase from a charity shop, somewhat the worse for wear and I don't know what has been nibbling the cover, perhaps a house rabbit? Playable with surprisingly little noise. (Still cannot make the images large).Quote:

Another couple if good ones there. :)
Quality album that. In the mid-late 90s Sasha and Digweed could do no wrong. My brother will still have this, I should try to scrounge it off him before he twigs that copies of this have some value these days. I know this because I've sought it out on occasion and it's never under 30 quid even for a ratty CD copy.
All of the Sasha / Digweed stuff is pure quality. I have many of the CD sets, including the rare early stuff. £30 is very good, pretty much all is far north of that.Quote:

I've given up on their vinyl output. Keep looking, some of their stuff goes for a lot more than that.Quote:

Got this filed under 'Jazz' since it's on ECM but I think really it is 'Ambient.' Still one of his best I think.
Agreed. Did well with this, bought it off a bloke at Maverick show a couple of years ago for a fiver. Like new, still has 'Back to Black' download voucher with it.Quote:

Peter Gabriel 4: Security. The one I play the most.
Agreed! :)Quote:

Well if you are looking for a best of collection of Steely Dan, I can recommend:
Steely Dan - 'The Definitive Collection'
It contains the track 'FM' which I think was mentioned by Pigmy Pony.
Thanks for that Barry. Many here regularly play Steely Dan Albums and I have never knowingly heard a track by them, so, this could be a very useful short cut to determine if I would like them.Quote:

Picked this up in Oxfam for 50p. it is a collection of pop, rock and jazz covers by a duo consisting of Luca Fattori (vogal and tape loops) and Tiziano Zanotti (double bass and tape loops). Sad to say I found it disappointing: the jazz numbers degenerated into not very good 'scat' singing, and the double bass dominated all of the tracks.
So back to Oxfam it goes.
For years I had a love/hate relationship with Steely Dan. Despite not knowing if I liked them or not, I continued to buy their LPs. Well a few years ago I decided I loved them after all!Quote:

Amazon's review says it contains all the hits, but fails to include 'Haitian Divorce'... It seems like all their 'best ofs' are missing something or other. This one seems pretty comprehensive though, and only £6.85 off Music Magpie over on the Ebay:Quote:

Playing through a modified Michell Argo HR (Tom Evans tweaked to Vibe Mk 1.5 with a Pulse 2 PSU) which has gained a very good indeed headphone amp.

Tunes are coming from a Panasonic USB DVD drive connected to a PI using an R-2R DAC HAT via Volumio.
Sounding very good indeed ��
I saw Wolf Alice do a couple of songs on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago. Lead singer had some presence, and I liked the music, though I wasn't expecting to. I'd decided to look into their music some more, then forgot. So thanks for the reminder :)
IMO this is probably the worse of all the Steely Dan cover artworks. Shame as the music is great.Quote:

Traditional Japanese percussion. It may look like ambient "elevator" music, or some sort of chillout disc, but it's not - quite the opposite in fact.

REN - Sick Boi
I read somewhere that Steely Dan shared your opinion of it. Great album though, I think I'll play it tomorrow.Quote:
