There's something in good singers and musicians that only blossoms with age.

Not sure Willie blossoms this much, but giving it a shot this morning.

A Symphonic Celebration - Music from the Studio Ghibli Films of Hayao Miyazaki

A Symphonic Celebration - Music from the Studio Ghibli Films of Hayao Miyazaki
by Joe Hisaishi (2023)

https://album.link/i/1680459073

Example:

A good set of recordings by DG of the great Joe Hisaishi. I normally don't prefer mixing various works from various movies. But for the most part this works. It mostly groups them together by movie. And of course the recording standards are very high.

Makes me want to watch some movies.

...to console myself for not being able to make it to the show tonight, despite being offered by Aly herself to put me on the guest list.

(whimper)

Also new Dustin O'Halloran album, 1001 on DG -- quite good!

Also, new 36 album, Trance Anthems for a Sunken Generation -- sublime!

Also ambient playlist by 36 -- 27 hours of quite good!

Beethoven for Three: Symphonies Nos. 2 and 5

Beethoven for Three: Symphonies Nos. 2 and 5
by Yo-Yo Ma (2022)

https://album.link/i/1590901485

Example:

I thought I would put this on as a light listen - and holy smokes is it good. This was the first one released in the B43 series (2022). And the arrangement and performance of the 2nd symphony is shockingly good to me. And well done on Sony's part for the recording.  I liked the one that was released this year (posted a bit ago), but not like this. Third listen this week and it is only Tuesday. It may become a staple in my queue.

Sonder

Sonder
by TesseracT (2018)

https://album.link/i/1341084087

Example:

Really found their sound in this one. The tracks come on hard, and you are rewarded with multiple listenings (I think I am one my 5th round). Looking forward to the recent releases.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY
by Taylor Swift (2024)

Example:

Yes the 2 hour version. It is a good collection of songs. Not a complex album, but it is all focused on lyrics. And there are lines that hit hard. As I have said before, I am not the audience for this, but I completely get it. The fans are richly rewarded by pulling apart the lyrics. And there are catchy hooks in there. And 31 tracks - crazy amount of work.

Polaris

Polaris
by TesseracT (2015)

https://album.link/i/1015037591

Example:

I listened to the albums a bit out of order I realize, this is stepping back to 2015. It is good, but it does not stand out and isn't as cohesive as Sonder (above). But playing is at a high level, and still great to listen to. I think that they have broken out of the Tool sound in the more recent works. A worthy album. It may need a relisten, if I can get Sonder out of the top of my queue for a day.
