swt61 Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 I'm on the lookout for Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, as well as any Leon Russell albums in vinyl or CD.
Torpedo Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 He even recorded a Vol IV Hank Wilson tribute. Vol II is in YouTube Music. Hank Wilson's Back would be Vol. 1 1 1
mikeymad Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Scriabin: Le Poème de l'extase, Piano Concerto, Prometheus by Vladimir Ashkenazy / Maazel (1971) https://album.link/i/1452378193 Example: I really pulled this for the Ashkenazy Concerto work. But was captivated by the Maazel, Le Poème de l'extase piece. I thought that this was a Decca release, and then discovered it was. But also London. There is a whole history there that I will let you research. 2
mikeymad Posted October 20 Report Posted October 20 Jump Up Calypso by Harry Belafonte (1961) https://album.link/i/1087856305 Example: Did I recently watch Beetlejuice?... may be... But regardless, a really good and fun album. It has Jump in the Line, but his voice on Kingston Market is so good. 4
HiWire Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 (edited) Yes - 90125 A perennial favorite... either my hearing is getting worse, better, or I've turned the volume up (long overdue haircut?)... it's more compelling than ever. The 2004 expanded and remastered CD. Edited October 22 by HiWire 3
mikeymad Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 I still listen to Hearts turned up pretty loud. Me: Wood II Brian Bromberg (2006) https://album.link/i/339937931 Example: Good for testing and listening... 2
HiWire Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 (edited) I underestimated the remaster's volume - I do think they turned it up, but there is no trace of clipping or distortion - Hearts got really loud in the end, as it should! And Brian Bromberg covers Earth, Wind and Fire's Shining Star on Wood II. Edited October 23 by HiWire 1
Grahame Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 Dua Luipa: Tiny Desk Concert. Brat. Or not quite, apparently. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/is-dua-luipa-brat-as-the-kids-dU6aho7vS2qQXs_LWZYdqw#0 Interestingly, adjacent in the algo feed was this. I wasn't sure if they were a real J-Pop band, or just an AI retro-futuristic generated version like this How would I tell? Can you? Are the extensive production credits a clue, or just a by product?
mikeymad Posted October 26 Report Posted October 26 Demon Days by Gorillaz (2005) https://album.link/i/850571319 Example: Just chilln 3
mikeymad Posted October 26 Report Posted October 26 Live at Max's Kansas City by The Velvet Underground (1972) https://album.link/i/1070716468 Example: Good recording? no.. It was after all recorded on a cassette. But a great snapshot in time.. 3
mikeymad Posted October 27 Report Posted October 27 (Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise? by Art Of Noise (1984) https://album.link/i/1364593455 Example: So my friend sent me an DM this morning asking what was my favorite Art of Noise song was, with hers being the Example. So I had to think about it, and I just had to ask myself, (Who's Afraid Of) The Art Of Noise?, and listen to the album again. While Beat Box (Diversion 1) is very very good, there are two things I like a little bit more from this album, the classic - Close (To The Edit), and the just lovely - Moments in Love. But when I thought of a fav, it was not from this album, it was on the In Visible Silence (1986) album. Which I have posted here several times before. When I thought of Art of Noise, this tune was first in line. A lot of my musical influences are packed into this 4:30 minute song from my teen years. 3
robm321 Posted October 29 Report Posted October 29 New Release, New artist to me. This is good. Already looking forward to listening again. ex. 2 1
mikeymad Posted October 30 Report Posted October 30 watched to this. I was intrigued, little bit of Amy Lee sound with some Tori Amos for me. With that I listened to the more recent album She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She by Chelsea Wolfe (2024) https://album.link/i/1711265605 It was not what I was expecting - more on the Trip-hop side. Not bad, just not what I was expecting coming off the hunting Tiny Desk show. Apparently, they have very diverse albums, new artist to myself. So I think I will have to check out their early works. 2 1
skullguise Posted October 31 Report Posted October 31 ^^^ Yes, definitely check out her earlier stuff. @Dusty Chalk would likely have even more recommendation specifics.... 1
Hopstretch Posted November 1 Report Posted November 1 The Cure did a live stream from London tonight of their new album, which is ... fine, honestly. But after playing that, they then spent another 2+ hours blistering through their back catalog and it was something else! Robert Smith still in great voice, the band tight, A++ live sound mixing. This 80s kid highly recommends! The retrospective starts about an hour in after the first intermission. 6 1
mikeymad Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Written In The Stars by Bill Charlap Trio (2000) https://album.link/i/723534675 Some 2000 jazzy jazz on Blue Note? - you bet. Mastered by Ric Wilson, and yup, sounds good... Mostly standards, but has a lot of weight to the tracks.
mikeymad Posted November 3 Report Posted November 3 Chiaroscuro by Darol Anger (1985) https://album.link/i/1201476217 Example: I came across a clip of Darol playing with Britney Haas the other day. And I was like I know Darol, I use to listen to him back in the 80's. I still have several Windom Hill LPs. So this is the stuff I listened to in the 80's along with Animotion (look that one up kids).
mikeymad Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 Because reasons: Sinatra At The Sands by Frank Sinatra (1966) https://album.link/i/1440842924 Example: And words for Mr. Jones RIP 4

jose Posted November 6 Report Posted November 6 (edited) Portico Quartet "Monumen" Edited November 6 by jose 3
mikeymad Posted November 6 Report Posted November 6 Don't know why I needed to listen to this today... Destroyer by Kiss (1976) https://album.link/i/1440854205 Example: So there was that... 3
mikeymad Posted November 7 Report Posted November 7 Juju Jubilee by Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey & His Inter Reformers Band (1985) https://album.link/i/1565283299 Example: What I really needed.
