[mikeymad]

Variations on a Melancholy Theme
Brad Mehldau, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
2021

The Theme:

 

 

[TMoney]

Halsey - If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power

Halsey + Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross producing? Yes, please!

[Dusty Chalk]

Same.  I first heard about that record in this wonderful article:
https://ew.com/music/trent-reznor-danny-elfman-big-mess-interview/

It starts out with some ridiculous mutual back-slapping, but seems sincere in their mutual admiration.

But then it gets interesting...

(stinger noise)

[Dusty Chalk]

Neal Morse Band, Innocence & Danger 

They’re doing a prog, as the kids say.

I am a big Spock's Beard fan from back in the day when it was fronted by Neal. I didn't follow him into his solo work (well I got the first album). It went too Christian for me. I had not heard of the Neal Mores Band project. I will add it to my list. thx

Just watching Tim Henson do Tim Henson things for 8+ minutes. 

(btw - lead player for Polyphia)

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeah, he's amazing.  Thanks for that, will queue it up to watch later.

The last Transatlantic album is probably a better starting point.  I enjoyed this album a lot, but I'm not the biggest NMB fan.  It's definitely got some great ensemble playing.

And I totally agree with you on the Christian thing, but I have a friend who's really into them, so I tolerate it.  And it's like extreme metal like early Opeth -- I hate harsh vocals.  HATE.  But the music is so good, that I put up with it.

I listened to those two yesterday. I was expecting more of the Variations. The second disc in the Mingus set is brutal.

Considering to listening to this one

No idea who this girl is, I am not very fond of previous Reznor or Ross output despite the good accolades, yet still curious.

Needless to say, this has been in heavy rotation with me, too. Right in my wheelhouse.

Charade
Henry Mancini
1963

Opening:

 

 

[TMoney]

Chvrches - Screen Violence

Very solid 4th album from a band that at this point knows who they are and confidently embraces it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing them live assuming the tour comes through San Francisco in December and isn't derailed by COVID.

[Torpedo]

Yesterday I listened to

Super db - Ecoute Ca 

I found this album due to a recommendation in the weekend newspaper. They said it's some mix of Earth, Wind & Fire, Supertramp, Steely Dan and other late 70's bands. What could go wrong? It's available at most streaming platforms

 

Now just finished 

ZZ Top - Eliminator 

It's a pity Odesli isn't including links to Qobuz as well
