"...rather odd in places....". Well, that’s certainly one way to describe it! :-) Quirky and captivating to me. They create a whole world in the mysterious Mr. Blint’s "attic". It’s quite the tour de force just for promoting their invention, "The Gizmo". I grew up at the tail end of radio as "visual" entertainment. Consequences reminds me of some of those old shows. Have to hand it to G&C for prescience. Climate change, whatever the cause, wasn’t much talked about back then. Not to mention, the "weaponization" of weather! "Look at that cloud! Is it one of ours or one of theirs?" http://www.suppertime.co.uk/blint/ |
Today and everyday, Lucinda Williams' album West, containing the two best love songs I've heard in years, "Where Is My Love?" and "West". Exquisite beauty. |

The copy is excellent, rather odd in places though.
So Consequences part 3 ... Godley & Creme

Chronologically working my way through Coltrane. Today (so far) My Favorite Things, Africa/Brass, Ole (in order of recording dates). |
Pink Floyd, "Animals" (remastered) |

Hope your copy is good and that you enjoy it! |
Onwards
Consequences part 2 ... Godley & Creme |
I am afraid I have to blame Ghosthouse for this next one!
Consequences part 1... Godley & Creme.
Not on Tidal or Deezer so had to go and buy the box set vinyl from eBay!
Different...... |
And now for today’s purchase.
An astronomical 99 cents......
And it is near flawless, not a scratch and no ticks or noise at all besides the noise that is supposed to be there!
The Dream of the Blue Turtles ... Sting.
Vinyl |
Sacred Blood, Divine Lies ... Magnum.
180GM vinyl Steamhammer records.
Have to admit my Gold note ph10 phono does sound a lot better through the Ayre AX7E than it did through the Lyngdorf 2170.
More " analog" |
Red Elephant / More Songs From Spaghetti Westerns |
Just arrived today.
Sleepwalking .... Magnum.
On cassette, a Sweden first pressing for Polydor.
To my knowledge the vinyl version was released on Music For Nations label.
Odd......
Even though it is not one of my fave albums of theirs I have to say the sq on this tape is sublime. |

Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe
A very enjoyable album of 9 covers + 3 originals. The exception that proves what is too often the rule about covers...that is to say, these are actually worth listening to. Joe owns 'em like he wrote 'em. Everything sounds fresh. SQ is very good. Love the little bit of reverb they put on his guitar during the blistering solo starting around 3 minutes into the title track. Another album that deserves to be heard cranked UP. Turn it to 11, Nigel. |

Thanks for dropping that very thorough musical perspective! The Carpenters disc’(s) I spun didn’t have "Superstar" on them so I had to go find it. Wonderful song! There actually my wife’s collection. A beautiful voice and tragic story. Though only Redbook and not the best recordings, but her voice sounds amazing on the Forest Signatures!
Re Toto, I really like a lot of their music. Hydra has some great songs also. "Mama" "White Sister". And I agree, Toto IV was snappy!
I’m all over the map today. Right now, Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight

Gosh, I like Karen’t voice, Nutty. Back when they were on the radio all the time, 2/3rds of a lifetime ago, I really looked down on what they did. Looking back, what did I know? Get past the cultural baggage of the day...they knew how to pick some great songs. Did you realize "Superstar" (one of my favorites done by them) was written by Leon Russell along with Bonnie and Delaney Bramlett. Who knew!? Just read that in Wikipedia. Your other pick there, Toto...more excellent musicianship and song writing. Toto IV is one of their best I think. Less middle of the road and not as mainstream commercial as The Carpenters, perhaps (a good thing!) - but not Captain Beefheart either. Had some money making legs on it. But right this minute, Mr. Satriani is entertaining an audience of one. Just completed Crystal Planet and now Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards is up. Track 4 here...Sounds good LOUD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zjKYJHQnQ |

grevory_57, jafant,
I also enjoy Sting’s solo efforts post Police. I encourage you to listen to some of Andy Summers solo projects. ghosthouse turned me into a fan of his work.
The Last Dance of Mr. X and Earth + Sky are very good recordings.
Today I binged on Jeff Lynne's ELO. Everything I could find in the rack.

I decided to get Janis Joplin's The Pearl Sessions cd. I was surprised to see the liner notes with studio info about setting up the recorder.
I wanted to compare cd mastering vs a budget Hits disc.
Just using a budget system (under $500) pieced together from cl finds.

Agreed - gregory_57
after The Police disbanded, the general public was unsure what would become of the individual members? Sting gave us music lovers an incredible debut/solo album. Happy Listening! |
