mikeymad Posted November 5 Report Posted November 5 Famous Blue Raincoat. Songs of Leonard Cohen by Jennifer Warnes (1986) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0826663104905 Example: Very well recorded Jennifer. 5
robm321 Posted November 8 Report Posted November 8 (edited) 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. Edited November 8 by robm321 5

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) 1

mikeymad Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Report Posted Friday at 11:40 PM Non Fiction - Piano Concerto in Four Movements by Hania Rani (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/xnmzga8qy8r2a 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. 4

They do have an EP entitled, Retrospective II Rarities, but it's only 20 minutes. 6 hours ago, philodox said: Working through my FLAC catalog and doing a little hunt and peck for some of my favourites.

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 Edited Saturday at 03:37 AM by philodox
HiWire Posted Sunday at 09:14 PM Report Posted Sunday at 09:14 PM Paul Buchanan - Mid Air (2012) Singer of The Blue Nile, his first solo album 3
mikeymad Posted Sunday at 09:58 PM Report Posted Sunday at 09:58 PM (edited) ^^ 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.

HiWire Posted Sunday at 10:24 PM Report Posted Sunday at 10:24 PM (edited) 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).

mikeymad Posted 19 hours ago Report Posted 19 hours ago 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. 3
robm321 Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Physical CD Mahler was right to transcribe this quartet into a symphony (Death and The Maiden). Its been a favorite CD of mine for years. 1
