Rush 'Permanent Waves' LP
For all of the great albums that they made, most contain a weak spot. The older I get I reckon that PW has the most evenly high standard and so is probably the one I'd vote as their best.
Working from home today for the first time in a while, haven't had much time to listen to music lately with end of H1 being manic with work. Kicking off with this:
CamelPhat - Dark Matter (2020)
Awesome album this, with a whole host of collaborations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter_(CamelPhat_album

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothing Aristotle
Thought I'd do a bit of Rennaissance this morning, with this from 1995:
A few minutes in I just wasn't feeling it (probably because it was overplayed back then), but as it went on it got betterStill not what it was though, and it's not the music's fault, just that I'm thirty years older and I'm preferring 'real' instruments these days.
Superb mix though, one of the very best![]()

Roger Glover 'Elements' LP
A random purchase from back in the '70s when I was into Deep Purple. Glover borrows the Munich Phil and Simon Phillips and, partnered by Martin Birch, goes for symphonic light rock. It didn't chart anywhere to my knowledge but it's better than it has any right to be. In fact I think I'll spin it again...
