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".

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 |

swervedriver, raise--their (very good) latter releases are likened to shoegaze peers like my bloody valentine and ride, but this debut is much closer to the overamped roar of dinosaur jr. or the stooges. despite the frenzy, they have a great sense of loud/soft dynamics and a way with the big melodic hook. mind-frying stuff. |
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 |
@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 |
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 |
@nutty - I'm a big fan of Crack the Sky. One of my college roommates was from Weirton, WV where Crack the Sky formed. Otherwise, would have likely never heard of them. I think "Hot Razors in my Heart" is probably my favorite off of "White Music". How about this one: Crack the Sky - "Nuclear Apathy" from Safety in Numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8_aIHXWkH0 |
