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".
+1 I love Brian Auger - he plays so well. Like Herbie Hancock, Chester Thompson and Booker T - sense of timing, feel and swing is impeccable. The Trinity Sessions with Julie Driscoll is also fantastic - this was in his younger days....
Going to continue in same vein with some more good ol Brit rock,n,roll.
Homewreckers and Heartbreakers .... The Quireboys.
One of the best live high energy rock,n,roll shows I ever saw was a double header of The Quireboys and The Dogs at The infamous Boat Club in Nottingham. One of the small clubs Led Zep got their start in!
N - Is Donati new to you or were you already up on him?
In This Life has great sonics. Not the most melodic thing I've ever listened to but it is interesting. Might be one of those things that rewards time invested.
No problem, of course, U. I certainly can't make a steady diet of this stuff. re old age and listening preferences, I expect I know what you mean. I'm also guessing I'm a few years up on you!
Glad you liked the CAB Live On Sunset, N. Reading credits got me interested in what other work Virgil Donati had been involved with. Quite a lot as it turns out. A couple of things that might bear further listening. You two being bigger fans of metal than I...figured I'd suggest these, tho' perhaps you already know 'em....
Virgil Donati - In This Life Just started it. Track 4 now. Lots of heavy metal riffing, scales and deep bass. Crazy complex time signatures. Instrumental (so far). Very good sound quality.
Icefish - Human Hardware Sampled it briefly last night. Has vocals. Dunno if it is any good. The musicianship seems of a high order. That doesn't mean the songs are any good. Some of the same personnel as on In This Life.
Not a weak track in the entire thing...it just builds, strength on strength, track after track. Has held up to repeated listening over many months now. Another solid recommendation from the Nut man.
