CD albums that are truly 10/10

[Havana]

Didn't have to - they all moved away....

[isuckedmandelsonslemons]

Yeah, they moved. Something about the noise . . .

June Tabor 'A Quiet Eye'

Leonard Cohen 'Ten New Songs'

Curtiss Mayfield 'New World Order'

Shpongle 'Are You Shpongled'

Kate Bush 'Aerial'

Gobeil 'La mechanique des ruptures' (just try and find a copy of that one!)


All these CDs are beautifully recorded and sounding superb on my system.

Just given The Leonard Cohen a listen. I'd forgotten how brilliantly recorded it is. Defo five stars.

Perhaps not to everyone's taste but Chris de Burgh's Moonfleet & Other Stories is very well produced. Good album too if you like concept albums with a little narrative...

[Sonority]

A few more from my shelves.











Been playing some of these today - great to mooch around at times.

If i had to put one of theres in i'd pick more songs about food and buildings.

This is a public service announcement.

If you haven't got The Healer by John Lee Hooker, just buy it.

I am forever in debt to whoever recommended it. Total class. Stunning recording.
