Record you spin on a rainy Saturday w/ family gone


Sitting here, flipping through my collection, on a rainy saturday wondering what vynil to load. Too overcast for the uplifting Beatles, too overcast for the mellow Pink Floyd. Would consider Hendrix or Neil Young...... Wondering what everyone listens to on days like these, oh the possabilities!

Try "Macalla" by Clannad. Years ago, listening to the opening track of this, on home-recorded tape, while driving through the Scottish Borders or Highlands it was like being engulfed in a vast natural cathedral which seemed like an extension of the song. Awe inspiring! There is also an incredible duet with Bono(U2) on the track "In a Lifetime".

Another for a rainy day is "Tales of Mystery & Imagination" by the Alan Parsons Project - especially the long piece entitled the "Fall of the House of Usher" which features a thunderstorm. Listen to this through good panel speakers/Stats and you'll be able to "see" the rain splattering the flagstones behind your loudspeakers - as well as the stuff outside :)
Enjoy.....
