Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[AJSki2fly]

A classic to test out your systems capabilities and set up in more ways than one, huge dynamics, big bass, lots of drums, very fast leading edge percussion, complex rhythms and multilayered mix on several tracks, and by the way its damn good......

Heard it on its release - thought it was crap then, and still do. Sorry.

Apology not necessary, we like what we like

Similarly, I won't be apologising for this one, though I probably should. Came in a disgusting shade of green/yellow, I used to have a Fiat Punto this colour.

Richard Hawley – Hollow Meadows
Label: Setanta – SETLP174, Parlophone – 5033281011170
Format: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Blue transparent

I've been meaning to investigate Richard Hawley for a good while now. A few months ago I picked up a disc of his in a charity shop - don't remember the title, but I was disappointed. He was singing with orchestral backing; whereas I was expecting to hear him play guitar.

No doubt I chose a bad example, so does the album you cite have him playing guitar- I feel I ought to give him a second chance.

More 'out there' music, at least the vinyl's black this time...

Hi Barry, try "Lady's Bridge', or if you want phsycadealic then it has to be 'Standing At The Edge of The Sky' a stunning album IMHO
