Me too, first listen and 3/4 the way through - I think this could be a masterpiece!Quote:

Sounded decent on first listen but, I think you're right and it will be a real grower.Quote:

Yes, she is Dave's daughter . . . a very interested spin.
I like the singles. Thought from the cover it would be a bit Kate Bush but no.Quote:

That sounds interesting as well! About 10 new album releases today which I want to check out on Tidal, will add to the list!
Got halfway through the Boards of Canada again but then decided to play this - Inferno definitely had shades of Air and this album in particular?
Air - The Virgin Suicides (2000)

A decent release day today . . . Violet is edging towards the top at the moment for me, she's got some chops that's for sure.
You mentioned Kurt Vile - have only heard him with Courtney Barnett but enjoyed that, so is on the list!
Check out his earlier stuff as Kurt Vile and the Violators - that's how I came to him. He's done some great stuff with John Prine too. Don't know if you know John Prine, but this is beautifulQuote:

I'm a big John Prine fan, god bless him.
Stop it! [emoji6] At least these days “fishing” leads to streaming rather than buying the CD straight away! That one added, too!
(Currently on the Violet Grohl - the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree!)
Grant (Struth) was a big John Prine fan, God bless him too :)Quote:

I like her earlier albums, this is just as good, if not better. Very distinctive voice, if not dissimilar to Florence and the Machine’s Florence Welch, which again may be a good or bad thing depending on your taste!
I didn't know Grant was a John Prine fan, so here's to you Grant ... slŕinte
The Missing Years
John Prine
1991
https://static.qobuz.com/images/cove...becf4b_600.jpg
John was a master storyteller, one of the best songwriters who ever lived. I saw him twice and I've never seen anyone capture an audience quite like he could. You went in as part of the audience and left as John's friend - a truly amazing man.

1997 CD remaster from original tapes.
Nice :)Quote:

A classic, maybe the last classic rock album.Quote:

I'm still going through a lot of Miles Davis recordings: but am too lazy to post about them.

I often think the same about your posts Tim; but we are just a relatively narrow subset of each others tastes, so don't sweat it :)Quote:

LP1 - the legendary L.S.D
Sleep Token - Even in Arcadia (2025)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...188b4471a1.jpg
Could only manage 3 tracks, a bit too intense for late night listening when I’m tired!
So moved onto something much more sparse and laid back, but not too much.
Marian Hill - Sway (2015)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...593c2a4b0a.jpg
“Marian Hill is an American electronic music duo from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consisting of production artist Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol. They are best known for their unique blend of minimalist electronic beats, alternative R&B, synth-pop, and jazz-influenced structures.”
I don’t know All Them Witches, so that’s another voyage of discovery to embark upon!
They're good Alex, but don't expect what Nashville is typically known for ;)Quote:

I didn't know you liked LDR Alex. MartinT is a big fan as you might remember?
West
Lucinda Williams
https://static.qobuz.com/images/cove...858348_600.jpg
I do remember now you mention it. My daughter is a big fan, and she couldn’t believe I had her early CDs in the collection - so of course she snaffled them for herself! She is great, but like a lot of artists I have sort of lost touch with her output the last decade or so, added a load to Tidal to try and get up to date.Quote:

Radio Paradise just played She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult so now it has to be this - loud, so I can hear it in the garden (“no Sue, I’ve been weeding all day, not been sat in the living room listening to music at all, honest…!”)

A couple of earlier posts reminded me of this album, which I got a few years ago, but wasn't too keen on. Gets plenty of positive reviews, so I guess it's just me. Anyway, I thought I'd revisit, and no, I'm still not feeling it.

One of my favourite artists, but I think you need to see her live if your'e unsure - after that, well, it's normally different. London shows of hers always have an audience full of A-list musicians. She often has Stuart Mathis as her lead guitar, who's crazy good. I've seen her with Doug Pettibone too. Cars Wheels on a Gravel Road is what most people list as her best, but I like West more - Essence is good too. So if you don't know her, those two are a good place to start. If you don't like those, she's probably not for you.Quote:

Yup, it's a grower . . . I've played it 3 times now, might do 4 later on.Quote:

Anyone know Aynsley Lister? English Blues/rock guitarist and singer-songwriter - had never heard of him, but he’s playing Norwich Arts Centre on Wednesday (I always get their newsletter via email on a Sunday) so checking him out.
Impressed so far, he can certainly sing and play the geetar, and the tunes are catchy. This is his latest album, and tinged with Pandemic inspired songs I am guessing. Another guess is that there’s a new album incoming, hence the tour. Will definitely check out his other stuff.

Yup, seen him a couple of times at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne. I don't really play him though, but as a live show he's definitely worth seeing, or was, been over 10 years since I last caught him live. You should go Alex, he'll be good in NAC, that's his kind of venue. He used to be a bit more raw live, his records are a bit safe and MOR for me.Quote:
