David Sylvian – Secrets Of The Beehive (Virgin 1987)
Still sounds fresh. Solid. |
+1 for "Secrets of the beehive"
Wooden Wand & The Vanishing Voice / Buck dharma
This pair of bands is very different. Vanishing Voice is just plain weird & Wooden Wand is almost alt. country. How they got together to complete at least two albums is beyond me (maybe I'll google it sometime). Anyway, this release is even weirder than "Gipsy Freedom" from them, but I enjoy it nonetheless :-) |
Stones - Hot Rocks, yellow vinyl RSD 2021 version. R.I.P. Charlie |
Let it Bleed - 2003 Reissue |
Marvin Gaye "What's Goin On" This still fits with the times. Some things just never seem to change.
Tania Maria "Forbidden Colors" It was someone here that advised me on this one after I had listed that I had listened to another of her albums (which I have had since it was released in the mid 80s). The music is wonderful and this is a superb production of SQ. Audiophile quality, and I got it for $4 and it looks as though it has never been played. Best deal of the year for me.
The Moody Blues "To Our Children's Children's Children"
The Moody Blues "In Search of the Lost Chord"
I wish these albums sounded as good as the Tania Maria album. But the music is to my liking and they still sound pretty good. I saw the Moody Blues 3 times, I'm quite the fan. |

That's great news Jim! Working your way up to a pirouette? |
thanks Greg….just thinking about that hurts….
the kitchen is also now within unrefueled combat radius…. |
streaming Beehive - very nice |
Congrats Jim. Keep up the progress and get well, 100%.
PT is a bitch, but it absolutely necessary to regain your mobility and strength. |
|
Jim,
Glad you are healing up well!
Brian,
I couldn't agree more. Toth on his own is much different... even handed & civilized for the most part. When he gets with "Vanishing Voice" it is more of a free for all. I do like it however.

Play grading my other copy of 10CC eponymous. What a great debut! |
Soular Energy
and earlier
The Great Kai & JJ |
Streaming Secrets of the Beehive. Was never on the same page as bands like Japan but this guys solo work (totally unknown to me) seems really nice. This record features Ryuichi Sakamoto, who I’ve become very interested lately. Wow, thanks Brian for posting this record. Really fine album. |
thanks Time !
10 CC sounds great….. |
Streaming:
David Sylvian
Dead Bees on a Cake
features Bill Frisell, Kenny Wheeler, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Excellent!

The four 12AX7 Dynaco/Telefunken’s arrived today for the Hagerman Trumpet. Very nice indeed. Played an LP a few minutes with the Gold Lion’s I had in, then installed the Dynaco/Tele’s. Nice improvement right out of the gate in comparison. Silky smooth, airy, and detailed with an open stage. The Gold Lion’s sounded a bit grainy in comparison. And they sounded pretty darn good.
Nice.
Thanks @noromance for the help. |
Matthew Barber & Jill Barber – The Family Album (Outside Music 2016)

Joe Turner – The Boss Of The Blues Sings Kansas City Jazz (Atlantic 1956)
|
@noromance is the valve man ! |
|
Joe Williams And Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, The Jazz Orchestra – Presenting.. S/T (Solid State 1968)
Joe’s got a voice not unlike Sinatra but with more bass. Gem.
Interestingly, they use "solid state equipment throughout" (and Tele U-47 mics.) You can tell. Tight and fast and somewhat dry with some grain. No depth with a flat wall of sound. |
Jim, if I could cash in the tubes I have knocking around..!
|
Richards Piano Quartet : Martinů - Piano Quartet No. 1 & Chausson - Piano Quartet In A Major Op. 30. With Nona Liddell violin, Jean Stewart viola, & Bernard Richards cello. L'Oiseau-Lyre 1970, UK release. Pretty nice.
|
Thomas Dolby – Aliens Ate My Buick (EMI-Manhattan 1988)
So I generally play this on the Spendors/REL S3 rig. So tonight I heard so much more from this album on the main ESL system. Blown away. |
