@gakerty, I have my copy of "BSOTS" in house in my pile of lps waiting for listening. Been on a buying binge lately, got quite a few waiting. An oldie but goodie...looking through my records and this one just stood out... Dan Folgerberg & Tim Weisberg "Twin Sons of Different Mothers". Although this was released in 1978, my copy is obviously a re-issue with a bar-code, it sounds very good. Nice warm analog sound. Good to hear again! |
Yesterday: Hendrix-- Both Sides of the Sky This album rocks, with a mix of hard grooves/blues and fully fleshed out songs, and Hendrix at top form. Sound quality is excellent, quite "warm" on my system, yet dynamic. On another note, three days ago I got what I thought was this Hendrix album, excitedly opened it and... it was some Judas Priest live album. That was a major buzzkill! Some at Amazon must have grabbed from the "JU" shelf, not "JI" All good now. Porcupine Tree-- Lightbulb Sun. I haven't met a Porcupine Tree album I didn't like. This one starts out a bit mellow, then builds to proggy/hard goodness, albeit not the level of Fear of a Blank Planet. As with everything Steven Wilson, the production is superb, being clean, balanced, with great instrument separation and non overdone highs... Need to relisten tonight. |
@slaw - Have you seen Shovels and Rope live? Awesome stuff. I’ve been fortunate to see them a few times, in small venues, up close and personal. Some of my favorite live shows. I’ve always left feel they put everything out there and were completely spent when they walked off the stage. You might not know it by listening to their studio albums, but there live show ROCK! |
Yesterday: Dave Holland-- Aziza. Funky, spacey, somewhat quirky grooves. This grew on me bigtime. Julian Lage-- Modern Lore. Not as brilliant as his Arclight, and more subdued and spaceous, but with plenty of great guitarplaying and writing. Nils Lofgren- Night after Night. Used record score! ~5$ for this double live album. Fun, poppy, with some guitar wizardry. It's a keeper. |
Just getting around to my bonus record - Brewer and Shipley - "ST11261". I'm almost completely unfamiliar with these guys. Honestly, had no idea what to expect. But I like it! Not bad at all and the sound quality is really good. Not the kind of music I was listening to in 1974 when it was released. But I like it in 2018. |
Tonights mixup... Christopher Cross - Christopher Cross Hangin' Out with Henry Mancini The Rolling Stones - Some Girls (MFSL) [this is by far one of my favorite albums to drop the needle on; especially this pressing] Nick Drake - Pink Moon (2013 Reissue) [this pressing has a lot of crackle and pop to it; still an amazing album to listen to] |
USPS just showed up with a nice package...... Listening to my newly acquired copy of Roger McGuinn - "Back From Rio". I really like this record. I've had it on CD since it was released in 1990 or so. But the vinyl LP is better in every way..... Up Next - The bonus record that came with "back from Rio". Brewer and Shipley - "ST11261". I have no idea what to expect. Never heard this record and I'm unfamiliar with the artist, only knowing their hit "One Toke Over the Line", which is not on this record..... |
