What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Random Acts of Happiness (CD ripped to hard drive) A live recording. Great music, performances and sound quality.

Tony Williams - Civilization. 2nd track here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jkT_w14QEo Anthony Tillmon Williams - Not just a superb drummer but an excellent composer as well judging by this 1987 post-fusion, return to acoustic jazz album. Not a bad track on it. |

@piouser Thanks for posting. Welcome. @geoffkait Thanks for the heads up. I’m guessing "crazy" as in crazy good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V5Zt1te57A&list=OLAK5uy_nTQVGekvNKwt7pm7AZ9c29JdBg5NlublU |
Bill Bruford's Earthworks - The Sound of Surprise (2001). Track 5 - Half-life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4tFODM4B80 |
U - there were a couple of Elektric band "iterations". EotB is EB I If you’ve not tried it, Paint The World is EB II. Both recordings very good...music and SQ-wise. Paint the World a little "fresher" sounding. I like both of these much more than anything from his Return to Forever catalog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_Corea_Elektric_Band |
Ha! You likes what you likes and no reason to apologize. With the exception of just about all of his R2F output, I like Chick Corea's music a LOT. He is an incredibly talented and prolific artist. But R2F? Not so much. It's those SYNTHS! Got a strong "past the expiration date" smell to me. (though I do like some electronica...e.g., Jarre, Fort Romeau). Not a lot of Chick's synth on those 2 Elektric Band albums. More acoustic piano. |

@facten Thanks for posting the Steve Kahn album names. Typing in The Blue Man connected to the Steve Kahn you intended. SK is new to me. After your previous posting, when I searched on Tidal for Steve Kahn, all that came up was a kind of alt-country, singer songwriter guy with a pretty wordy delivery. Enjoying jazz and instrumentals a whole lot more these days. So, thanks again. Have Patchwork playing now. Just started it. |
Thanks for the input, Doug. I’ll be looking for that one on Tidal. Reading about it on the AllMusic guide right now. Realized belatedly I’d probably seen the Steve Kahn name associated with Steely Dan. Some interesting recollections here: http://www.stevekhan.com/gaucho_steelydan_reflections.htm Kahn's got a monster list of credits! |
Doh! Too funny. No problem @facten Even after finding the right guy and reading a couple of extended interviews with him (about Steely Dan's Aja and Gaucho), I STILL overlooked the correct spelling of his name (h before a vs after). Dyslexia strikes again. Anyway, thanks for following up. Appreciate you adding Steve Khan to my little store of music knowledge. |

@facten - Luther Allison. Yow. It has been donkey's years since.... Got to renew the acquaintance. THANKS for the reminder. Meanwhile, here at la maison de quatre chats fous... Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet. Track 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2q9ML4iknE |
@facten @mswobo You are right...just like mswobo, I never saw Luther but thanks to your suggestions here spent some time with his Luther's Blues. Couldn't find Live in Chicago on Tidal. Luther's Blues is itself a solid album...good songs and good playing. I was impressed with his rhythm section... especially piano and drums. Thanks for contributing. |
Case in point, Rory Gallagher "Deuce" (1971) Track 8 "There’s A Light" has some great guitar work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfySWRzc_8k |
just b - Welcome aboard. Gosh 2014. Notec deserves all the credit for the Steven R. Smith recommendations. But thanks for the reminder. Found "A Sketchbook of Endings" on Tidal. Trying it out. Great guitar tone and textures. Love instrumentals (prefer 'em). Not seeing your recommendations on Tidal. Will check Spotify. Good to see full listing of his discography on BandCamp. |
Hey Nutty. Haven’t heard any BBD in a long time. Tonight though, some A.A. Bondy... American Hearts and Believers From Believers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGqGSfr09dY |
A haphazard bit of catching up and some belated greetings... @tuzarupa - welcome. Saw your post (posts?) mentioning Tommy Flanagan. I love his economical and elegant style. Truly a "less is more" player. Underrated compared to his more "flash" contemporaries. @justmetoo - welcome. Noted the comment about "classic" jazz in your Coltrane/Blue Train post. Sounds much like my own reaction and persistence with the genre. Thumbs up for Brecker’s Tales from the Hudson. I like his first half a dozen recordings where he’s group leader including the self-titled, Don’t Try This At Home, Now You See It, Two Blocks from the Edge, Time Is Of The Essence. @jafant - Yeah...Neil’s Zuma. Might well be the favorite album by him. @artemus_5 - GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. Don’t care what the critics thought about ’em or about the current stiffs that won’t vote them into the RRHofShame. Maybe that’s a badge of honor. Inside Looking Out, Heartbreaker, Mean Mistreater, Closer to Home...50 years old and still sounding good. Okay, so it ain’t Lerner and Loewe. (Let’s not talk about where they went later on with that string of forgettable radio hits but bills to pay and gotta eat, I guess). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klPsjR6Y53U @nutty - as ever, glad to see all you posted. |
