On topic...

Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall

The DVD-A of Red 40th Anniversary edition. Red and Starless in 5.1 are incredibly good. Lots more to discover.

At the moment: Take Love Easy x Sophie Milman

Quite possibly my fav Stranglers album. I can never quite put my finger on why I like this band so much, but I love everything from Rattus to Feline...

I'm weird, because I came in on Dreamtime and Aural Sculpture, so those two are my favorites (with Dreamtime taking the slight lead). "Too Precious" is easily my favorite track by them. I love that ensemble break.

Oh, and yay on ELO and Talk Talk.

Sounds like rain- Phil Sheeran

Pulp - His 'n' Hers

Tears For Fears -- Songs From The Big Chair

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark -- The Pacific Age

DEVO -- Q. Are We Not Men? A. We Are DEVO

Harmonia - Musik Von Harmonia Japanese Polydor K.K. CD with OBI and Japanese insert. Got it for $10 online. As far as I am concerned this is the best sounding version on CD, although I never heard original long OOP 1992 Brain CD, but it should have the same original tapes transfer as Polydor K.K.

Nirvana - Live at Reading

Jackie McLean -- Strange Blues

The Decemberists - Hazards of Love

Jackie McLean -- New Soil

Just got a pile of Todd Rundgren in this morning... shouldn't be starting with this but I am:

Todd Rundgren - Faithful (1976)

Er...... wow, side two of this is fucking epic! I really should have started somewhere else in this pile, the rest can't possibly be as good....

Side one very interesting as I'm generally not a covers fan (notable exception - Adrian Belew's take on The Wilburys' "Not Alone Anymore" appearing on his 1990 effort _Young Lions_; blows the original out of the fucking water!) but these are quite "faithful" and interesting to listen to.

Peter Gabriel -- So

Rodrigo y Gabriela x Rodrigo y Gabriela

Ixtapa commands attention and interesting interpretation of Stairway to Heaven

The Greg Hatza Organization - Stand Up and Be Counted

Callas: Mad Scenes & Bel Canto

Volcano Choir - Unmap

Peter Gabriel -- So

I see the Vinyl thing is progressing

Jack Johnson -- Sleep Through The Static
