Worryingly it was my daughter that introduced me to them though they also get a fair amount of play on Radio Paradise, but have really grown on me.
Decamped to the garden and playing this on the Charge 5. 31° inside still is feckin' mental !Quote:

Soundtrack to a film I know nothing about but a good album so far.

She has a new album due in the autumn - doesn’t seem 5 minutes since her debut - frighteningly Philarmonics is now 16 years old!
All windows open and multi fans here, too but falling glacial slow. Now 29.8.Quote:

Their first and best album imv. If it weren't for that awful "whistling" that comes on the first and last tracks that makes my ears bleed, it would be perfect.Quote:

The cover puts me right off, but I would be interested in your impressions.Quote:

First impressions are very sort of Jazzy Prog / Canterbury scene - think King Crimson / early ELP meets Camembert Electrique era Gong. Enjoying it !
New release Friday.

Tried that and it is, most certainly, not for me. Uh uh, no siree.Quote:

Yello '1980-1985 The New Mix In One Go'
Must confess I like this for its production more than its music. It sounds like a million dollars.
Until I play them, I can't remember which CDs/Tracks are Melody Gardot or are they Madeleine Peyroux? I appear to have 4 Madeleine and 3 Melody CDs, but can't remember the last time I played either - added to the list to spin later!
There is, IMO, only one Madeleine Payroux CD worth having - her first, and by far her best.
When you see her performing, she is so nervous it is embarrassing to watch. A great pity.
Never heard of her, but imo all of Melody Gardot's are worth having.Quote:

Oops! 'Careless Love; was Medeleine Peyroux's second CD. Her first was 'Dreamland', released in 1996.Quote:

It was this CD that bought Peyroux to the world's attention; no doubt helped by her covers of songs by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and W.C. Handy.
Janelle Monáe - The Archandroid (2010)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...549fb1d276.jpg
Despite the French name, absolutely nothing like Melody Gardot or Madeleine Peyroux, and doubtful to anyone else’s taste, but I loved this album when it was released but not heard it for a long time.

Now playing Madeleine Peyroux's third release:
Bare Bones
Decca, Rounder Records 6132732 (2009)
Not as good as 'Careless Love', too much "easy listening" - at times it is downright soporific.
Will give Infectious Grooves ago next, Tidal describes them as a “funk-metal supergroup” which sounds interesting!

Not heard anything by Janelle Monáe, but I did like her in the the 2016 film 'Hidden Figures'. :)Quote:
