David Soul-ST Side 2 SQ* Jerry Vale-Sings The Great Love Songs Side 1 The Stan Getz Quartet-The Dolphin(CJ-158) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Marilyn Mc Coo & Billy Davis-I Hope We Get To Love In Time Side A Steely Dan-Katy Lied(ABC 1st press) Side B SQ* Johnny Lytle-Swing' At The Gate Side 2 Don Williams-The Best Of Volume III Side 1 SQ* Blood Sweat And Tears-Brand New Day Side A SQ Audiophile 5/8 albums have not been previously played as I push forward. SQ* "Katy Lied" much has been said about the SQ errors but still excellent and strongest of the near misses. BS&T edges out Getz with a demo level recording. |
Shelly West-Red Hot Side 2 Kansas-Two For The Show Side 3 SQ* Steely Dan-Gaucho Side B Audiophile Aquarian Dream-Chance To Dance Side 1 Beethoven-Artur Rubinstein(LSC 2733) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Natalie Cole-Don't Look Back Side 1 SQ* Cal Tjader/Carmen McRae-Heatwave(CJ 189) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Bob James-Touchdown(Japanese/ Master Sound 76) Side B SQ Audiophile 6/8 have not been previously played. Gaucho has been played/posted 6 times making it my most played album since April 2020. Touchdown edges out Heatwave for the SQ crown, both have demo level SQ. Kansas an overlooked live "classic rock" album that hangs with the best.

Been all over the vinyl map. To get my writing juices flowing, I started out listening to Fallen Trees by Lubomyr Melnyk, Ukrainian composer and pianist who delves into "continuous-music". Then I slipped over to Ornette Coleman’s Science Fiction, which transcended the Free Jazz genre he created to something even freer, filled with poetry, song, overdubs and his squawky alto sax. From there, I went to Mr. Heartbreak by the great Laurie Anderson, who always creates these special song landscapes. Aguirre came next from Popol Vuh, the German electronic ensemble who made some of these 1972 tracks for Werner Herzog’s "Aguirre, The Wrath of God." Then it was Kamasi Washington’s Harmony of Difference, a jazz EP of the warmest resonance built on a jazz ensemble, a full orchestra and a gospel choir to boot! A completely unlikely segueway to Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn who let their banjos Echo in the Valley and across my room with great neo-folk elegance. What’s on my list for later tonight? Takk... by Sigur Rós.... and then maybe some Sonny Rollins, his 1991 release Here’s To The People, which finally came to on top-notch vinyl in 2015. The late Roy Hargrove plays trumpet on this album and it is the sweetest sound. |
Always wanted to get into Syd's solo stuff @noromance . Which album do you recommend? |
@slaw This is the only one I have. It’s an acquired taste but very unique. It’s an NM original and worth quite a bit. |
