...make that, "BY a wide margin."
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".

No problem mgm- This is the one you are referring to... https://www.amazon.com/Returns-Return-Forever/dp/B001GSV3DS/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1... I'll have to check it though I've not previously been a fan of Al DiMeola. Thanks for the comments. |
Anyone wants to talk Lucinda Williams is welcome here. Had the opportunity to hear her in a small local theatre not that long ago. Enjoyed the show (apart from the political opining). Her backing band (Buick 6) was very good. They opened and did a fine job supporting her. Subsequently got their recording, Plays Well With Others. Only have the original release version of Sweet Old World - not the recent reissue - but as with West, some very strong song writing on it...Pineola, a favorite. Unsuffer Me and Words are two other favorites from West. She is a very good lyricist (literary talent must be a heritable trait ;-) |
Jazz Pistols - Superstring Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet Track 2, "House Full of Bullets" (some sad relevancy to the national situation).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2q9ML4iknE |
Yellowjackets - Timeline A solid, engrossing album; get to the end, start it over again. Not sure why it rated only 3 stars in The All Music Guide Track 8, Like Elvin... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0azalnK66E @jafant If you want Bruford/Towner/Gomez "If Summer Had Its Ghosts", prices on Amazon are a bit much at $50-$55 for the CD. There's a mint-rated copy on Discogs from a 100% rated seller in Italy. The price is about half that of Amazon though shipping is a chunk. Sometimes you can negotiate, however. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2254169?ev=rb |

Last night... The Music of Eric von Essen Vol. III Musicians include Nels Cline and Alan Pasqua. A couple favorites of mine. Track 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP49DcV8ZyM&index=7&list=PLz6yWjo4w0urYwLg14dXFrqWiG25CfeIa&... |
Rory Gallagher - Tattoo Track 4 - They Don't Make Them Like You Anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycyh6ZdJkZg No they don't and that's a shame. RIP William Rory Gallagher 2 March 1948 – 14 June 1995 |
@bluewolf - Thanks for the entry. I have liked Metheny’s work but haven’t kept up. Did not know this release (as is true of much of his discography after The Pat Metheny Group sort of dissolved). The Amazon Editorial Review has interesting background on it. https://www.amazon.com/Whats-All-About-Pat-Metheny/dp/B004ZN8MH6 |
The Finn Brothers - Finn (1995) More great music from Neil and Tim. Very much in the style of Crowded House with production by Tchad Blake. Not new, but new to me. Missed this one but who's worrying about 22 years. Better late than never. Track 2 - Eyes of the World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM86uotm8Ms |
Lars Danielsson - Liberetto Full album... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N3EyPj3hcU Great example track (Track 11 - Driven to Daylight)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agotLGhv1aA Neil Cowley Trio - Spacebound Apes Hubris Major (Track 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8p73taDd-0 |

Esbjorn Svensson Trio (E.S.T.) - Strange Place for Snow Track 4 - Behind the Yashmak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY1wMO7rPDU |
Danny Norbury - Light in August Speak, Memory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQY0q6mLyng (actually from NB's first EP release, "Dusk" which has been included on the Flau re-release of Light in August) The title track, Light in August... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayjJ653HnP8 |
Michael Brecker - Two Blocks from the Edge E.S.T. - A Strange Place for Snow The Message (track 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bh0hR3MEM4 |
Glad you liked them, @jafant - The Haines was purchased as a 3 CD "box". His music seems a hybrid of neoclassical/modern composition and ambient. The Danny Norbury (if your comment extends back to that posting) is more purely neoclassical, though A Closer Listen called it ambient. I disagree. It’s available at Bandcamp as download or CD from Flau who reissued it with some extra tracks from Norbury’s EP, Dusk. Two Blocks from the Edge is another well done studio recording from Michael Brecker as band leader. Compared to Tales from the Hudson, however, I think Brecker’s solos on Two Blocks are more rambling and less focused...but who am I to criticize such an excellent musician. What I really enjoy on Two Blocks is Joey Calderazzo’s piano (he’s also on Tales). Finally, E.S.T. - if you haven’t spent time exploring this trio’s music, you will be rewarded if you do. Esbjorn Svensson is a fine, fine pianist and his (their) compositions cover a range of styles. Check this one out...a live, extended version of the previously posted studio version of Behind the Yashmak. Stand up bass during the intro could be louder. Ear buds will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY1wMO7rPDU |
This early evening... Steve Winwood, "About Time" Track 9 here, Horizon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuk716kqX_k |
Thanks for checking in, @teo_audio Post some of your preferred listening when you get a chance...doesn't have to be a CD but digital (any format) as preferred here. So, I was unaware of Hinterland. Don't follow William Orbit obsessively but do like electronica. Turns out Hinterland is #4 in WO's Strange Cargo-as-alias series. Here's track #1: Million Town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc4P8eGGeII |
Thanks to teo_audio for mentioning it. Listening to Hinterland this evening. For me, it might be the best of the 4 Strange Cargo albums William Orbit has put out. Check out, "The Name of the Wave" (crank it up)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbTGqzYKXyE |
Another early evening entry... Takuya Kuroda, "Zigzagger" Good Day Bad Habit (track 9) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ4tn7dij-8 |

From last night: Joe Henderson - Inner Urge Recorded in 1964, this has aged well over the intervening 54 years and sounds very fresh to these ears. McCoy Tyner’s piano work is excellent and Elvin Jones drumming contributes to a high level of energy. Track 3, El Barrio, here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVT1_8ZmDY |
Steve Winwood - About Time Track 2, Cigano (For the Gypsies) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB_ZarpEZTs Album cover: https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F71... |

Dave Meniketti - On the Blue Side Track 4 is a really solid take on Loan Me A Dime... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6socdUHZD50 (Thanks, Nutty) |
Worth enduring the occasional bad sound. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac 1968-70. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8v_OC3zWCM |
This Will Destroy You - S/T 10th anniversary re-issue (on Tidal) Thanks to my friend Pokey77 for the recommendation. They Move On Tracks of Never-Ending Light (track 6) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp2xrgojTxo |
Listening again to Lars Danielsson’s, Liberetto. Track 1, Yerevan, has a Jon Hassell-like sound courtesy of Arve Henriksen; not exactly typical of the rest of the album but very enjoyable none the less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1YQ5WfJuEI |
