What are you listening to Part the Third

Famous Blue Raincoat. Songs of Leonard Cohen
by Jennifer Warnes (1986)

Example:

Very well recorded Jennifer.

Sometimes I like to listen to silly music

Superb sound quality, especially for a live show. Barber isn't the only star of the show. The band is amazing, especially on Black Magic Woman. 

The guitar solo on that song is like some Allan Holdsworth shit, the percussion kicks in and none of it is lost in the crowd who show appreciation. 

Ex.

Oh, interesting (that that exists).  By sheer coincidence, I was listening to this yesterday (an EP of Alice Sara Ott playing his music on piano):

That's great. Thanks.

Not surprisingly there's also a Retrospective I set also, but that came and went before I knew and seems difficult to find. I only have Apple Music and Spotify services at the moment, but someone on Spotify created a playlist with tracks from both sets - Johann Johannsson Retrospective...  

There's also the Last and First Men film (2 LP set)

Not an Example - but a mini doc:

Released Yesterday. A pretty serious work.  It will be interesting to see how this settles for my in the future.

Thanks!  I'll have to do the same with Tidal (cancelled my Spotify subscription and renewed my Tidal near the start of the boycott).  They do have an EP entitled, Retrospective II Rarities, but it's only 20 minutes.

Oh hai, WB.  Archive, nice.  (I'm still a big fan.)

And yeah, I need to listen to that Hania Rani.

Qobuz exists. Just sayin.

Great album.  They're a cool band too, if I remember correctly each of their albums is in a complete different genre.  I'm a Trip Hop guy, so Londinium is a gem, but I think their other albums are decent as well. (just completely different)

And thanks buddy

Paul Buchanan - Mid Air (2012)

Singer of The Blue Nile, his first solo album

[mikeymad]

^^ 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.

Yes, I was just listening to Hats (1989) and I wanted to see if the band members had done anything else since then. I've been listening to A Walk Across the Rooftops a few times in the last few weeks, since I first got it in the summer.

I think the Blue Nile is basically broken up. Their 3rd and 4th albums, Peace at Last and High, didn't garner the same level of critical and popular recognition, so maybe it's best to leave it at that (from the sound of Moore's last interviews about the band, it seems to be a bitter ending, at least on his part).
