What are you streaming tonight?

Yann Tiersen - Portrait, Qobuz Hi-Res.  Never heard of him before, it came up in the New Releases as "Alternative Indie", but it's more classical with a touch of alternative?  I like it.

Pulse ( live) .... Pink Floyd.

One my way back to the airport to escape and return home.... for one day!

Qobuz

The Later Years .... Pink Floyd.

Qobuz hires

Celestial ... Rob Halford.
Sort of Christmas feel in a metalized way.

This is my source for new music. Just a brilliant radio station. Only reason I like living in my current location since I get them on FM.

Check out the DJ lists for 2019. DJ's program their own music like back in the day.

Uber, TBH I was doing a lot of stuff on my computer and didn't listen closely to the Melody Gardot album, so I was not fully involved.  Having said that, I liked what I heard.  

What do you think of that Melody Garrot album Greg?
And yes agreed on that Who album.

Melody Gardot - Live in Paris
The Who - Who  I really like this!  They sound grown up, not in a stodgy old way, but in a reflective way.  

Lung Dart - slouching towards Meridian

Well WTH do Rolling Stone know.....
😂😂😂😂

@uberwaltz - Thanks. I'll check it out, but it didn't make the "50 best of 2019" list from RollingStone. I love me some Van.........

reubent.

I was pretty impressed with Three Chords and the truth by Van Morrison

Read the "50 Best Albums of 2019" article in RollingStone mag. Trying to find any gems. On Spotify, Started at # 1 - Ariana Grande and I'm up to # 5 - Vampire Weekend, not a single gem yet, IMHO. I know Springsteen's - "Western Stars" is somewhere on the list, so it won't be a skunk, but looks like very few memorable moments in 2019.

Anyone got any recommendations for any memorable music from 2019?

Eye of The Hurricane ... The Alarm.

Qobuz

n80
fortunately only using the airport.......
actually working in Aberdeen.

KIWANUKA - Michael Kiwanuka

@uberwaltz : "On the plane to Fayetteville NC."
Condolences.  ;-) They used to call it Fayett-nam. They still might.

Love and other Obsessions ... Spyro Gyra.

Qobuz

Love at First Sting ... Scorpions.

On the plane to Fayetteville NC.

I’ll Be Here At Closing Time

J.D. Souther

Universe ... Edge of Paradise.

Qobuz

Berlina Philhammnick Digital Concert Hall through Oppo105D.

Leon Bridges - Good Thing. Amazon Music. Trying to like this album but just not feeling it.

Coming Home, his previous album, is a masterpiece. Disappointed in this album.

He seemed to leave his roots and his strengths. I have no problem with him trying new stuff but I hope he finds his way back to the basics.

The Later Years ... Pink Floyd.

Qobuz

1999 ( super deluxe edition) ... Prince.

Qobuz

Harry Nilsson - Losst And Founnd, Qobuz 

Vacation time so streaming only for five days.
Thought this was apt.....

Celestial .... Rob Halford.

Steve Miller Band - Bingo.  Steve gets back to the electric blues and R&B.  And just discovered Samantha Fish.


Pandora 

Contact from the Underworld of Redboy ... Robbie Robertson

Qobuz

Great stuff Bossound.
Thank you indeed

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Fatback Band Live in TokyoTidal CD resolution
Amazing recording. Captures spirit and sound of live performance. Texture and color of all the instruments and vocals in the band jumps out in high fidelity. Interesting guitar riff and horn fills and solos. And. of course, fundamental, funky groove.

Roberta Flack & Donny HathawayQoboz HiRes Studio Edition
Beautiful, poignant duets. Art rather than pop. Surprised that there was a market for music that does not appear to have a commercial intent- except perhaps for Where is the Love. Album sold a million copies. Appears that listeners back then had more sophisticated ears than today.

You should really like Sinematic,I was deeply impressed last night.
Very well recorded and some great songs.
Enjoy!

Added Sinematic ... Robbie Robertson.

without hearing it. Love RR’s music. Thanks.

Charles Bradley is also a great artist. A shame he died just as he became known.

Charles Bradley - Black Velvet

This might qualify as a guilty pleasure...

Nasty Cherry - Season 1

So you may notice I have been streaming on Qobuz a lot recently again.
This I believe is down to Ayre.
My EX8 gets automatic updates over the internet.
Two days ago I saw the firmware had been updated.
WOW!
The streaming has took off in clarity and air.
TBH it did a similar update maybe 2 months ago and the same thing that it was the streaming aspect that had a noticeable improvement.
But this update appears to be something else.
The 24/96 albums I was listening to last night were just incredible.
Of course it could also be the new Omega Plus mats AND the extra eCards lying on ic and speaker cables......
Whatever I am having a blast and with being off this week it will continue.

The latest Disco Biscuits run! Incredible playing!   All shows up on youtube!
