Until the release of his last stunning album, this has been also my favourite LC. Time will tell whether You Want It Darker stays on top. And digital and all, I really love the Music On Vinyl release of Ten New Songs. A cracker, IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Giant Sand: Chore Of Enchantment A cracker of an album from Howe Gelb and co, one of their best. Sadly they disbanded not long back. Get your head in the sand. Taken from this excellent release titled The Sun Set Vol 1, which contains six of their albums: https://giantsandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-sun-set-vol-1 Edited November 13, 2016 by soundfan incorrect 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundfan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Giant Sand: Center Of The Universe Another excellent Giant Sand album. While their music is deeply infused with strains of country, folk jazz and blues, there is no obsession with rootsy authenticity. Giant Sand can be electric and acoustic, or noisy and chaotic. Having Joe Burns and John Convertino ( from Calexico) on a lot of their earlier albums certainly didn't hurt either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass13 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Spun Trainspotting & Radiohead. A moon shaped pool, last night which was awesome.. Album by Sigur Rós, ( )... is fantastic. ..have been stuck on this, as I've now played it twice over...maybe three times.. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundfan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I just purchased this 2 LP vinyl version on bandcamp, but the purchase allowed me to download a copy too. Wow, a stunning effort, and apart from Howe Gelb's charms, he has that great choir backing him, and the superb slide guitar from Fred Guignion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundscape Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 P/3 2@45rpm, although the first track sounds quite good at 33, until Beth's voice kicks in...doh 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've come here for a flogging. Not one iota of music listened too this weekend unless you count Friday evening as the weekend. I'm prepared for a bollocking. I have little to say in my defence. I do have this ready to listen though>> No idea what it is but looking forward to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blocked left ear makes the world sound like an underwater adventure. Alas, not good for audiophiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I've seen him on footpaths playing, to opening for Dave Matthews band and even his own gigs like The Palais. If I want to feel better I put on Follow The Sun and I feel better instantly.

soundfan Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Howe Gelb/A Band of Gypsies: Alegrias CD Continuing my Howe Gelb bent of recent times, Here he teams up with a band titled A Band of Gypsies who he came across while looking for Flamenco while in Spain. Also contains a couple of re-worked Giant Sand tunes. Tasty stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki65 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Nils Lofgren - acoustic live The vinyl arrived today, gave it a clean (not that it needed one) and giving it a spin now. VERY NICE recording. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hergest Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Rush-Grace Under Pressure. I remember first hearing this when I bought it on release in '84 and being disappointed comparing it to their previous 2 albums. There was no Spirit Of Radio or Tom Sawyer to draw me in but over the years this has grown on me to be one of my favourite Rush albums and each decent upgrade in my hifi has really brought out the sonic qualities of the album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEN MISTER Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 14 minutes ago, Hergest said: Rush-Grace Under Pressure. This and " SIGNALS" are a pair. These were also the two that got the knives out from the purists who resented the prominence of keyboards in the arrangements, conveniently forgetting what an inspired keyboard player Geddy was. I often wonder if they had not suffered this backlash, what subsequent albums may have sounded like. These two albums were the most richly orchestrated, and sonically impressive sets they did ( yes- more consistent than MOVING PICTURES".) I also suspect the problem with the later albums, with the chronic compression issues, stem from the rejection of the rich dynamics found here.

Hergest Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Horslips-Dancehall Sweethearts. This record features the oddest recording of any brass section you are likely to come across. On first listening you wonder what on earth is making that parping noise. Great lp non the less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
