Take Ten by Paul Desmond (1963) https://album.link/t5m4fcv3fkmcw Example: What do you after Take Five? Take Ten, of course. Lovely set of tracks - with Gene Cherico, Connie Kay, and Jim Hall on the team. Album was not on my radar until now.

^^ Very cool - I have had this on the top of my queue for about a week and I have listened to it a couple of times. A Walk Across the Rooftops by The Blue Nile (1984) https://open.qobuz.com/album/hzszuzspagdab Example: An Amazing sounding Album. Some backstory if one does not know. Linn (Scottish Electronics fame) was wanting to test out their new recording console, and brought in The Blue Nile for their first release. (LKH 1) - they did well.

job your love, y'all

Happy autumn everybody...

Famous Blue Raincoat. Songs of Leonard Cohen by Jennifer Warnes (1986) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0826663104905 Example: Very well recorded Jennifer.

It always 1969 (nice) in Alaska. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice

Hand Cannot Erase by Steven Wilson (2015) https://open.qobuz.com/album/gq9emxrfbaxdb Example: So a friend shared a list of top 25 audiophile albums. Most would be what you would expect, but there were a few I didn't know, so I gave them a listen. This is a good prog album. Audiophile? No. But very good. I have heard a few things from Wilson, I will be checking out a few more.

Within my PLOWED whisky group we have an annual gathering called Ardbeggeddon (which some know about). It takes place in an undisclosed location. Many years ago this became known as "Dick Cheney's Secret Bunker" as a joke for posting purposes. I have proposed to the group that the location should be changed to "Dick Cheney's Crypt".

35 minute in and I don't even have a dishwasher (well... me, but still) But I will share with friends/family that have struggles with dishwasher performance.

Why is this the first time I am hearing about - Kobe Beef Bacon? Who been slacking on updating the Bacon thread!!?? Come on people - we are living a society here...

Speaking of: Released on Wednesday. Chopin: 24 Préludes, Ballade No. 4 & Piano Sonata No. 2 by Eric Lu (2025) https://album.link/hj55qbvfbjcp4 Example: Winner on Warner. Good recording, and performance is top notch. Looking forward to seeing how he grows.

ICONOCLASTS by Anna von Hausswolff (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/vrn194ll38ouc Example: Released today (happy ween). I have seen a few posts from way back, but never made it to my queue. Good stuff, some complex compositions and mixes of genres and styles.

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 in D Minor, Op. 47 by Howard Mitchell (1959) https://album.link/trxprptjq5zr7 Example: Noise floor is a little high (hiss), but it made up for by getting very loud and being a great performance.

Todd is kind of Analyst...

Maybe I didn't give them a fair shake back in the day...
