What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

^I may still have that album. The local stereo shop had that in stock and used it all the time for demos. For some reason I thought it was a Linn Records pressing, but Discogs does not have that info. {30yo memory, not what it use to be}

Late last night:

Unwind

Unwind
Yasmin Williams

Example:

Very good tapping technique album. I like that Yasmin is not all about technique for me. A good balance of great playing and good themes.

Kyung Wha Chung, London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn
1995 (um - Nope - that is 1970 - this date must have been the remaster)

Example:

Not much to say about this. Chung (at 22), LSO with Previn on Decca. yup yup yup yup... :ian:

They're also two of my favourite violin concertos (well, top 13, anyway).  Will give it a listen.

Unrelated -- me, earlier:  The Church's new one, Hypnagogue -- as is typical, very very good.  They seem to spend more time creating their slightly mellow, slightly psychedelic art-rock (E.G. "Destination", Gold Afternoon Fix, Priest=Aura, Sometime Anywhere, &c.) than any kind of sequel to their biggest hit, the wistful ballad, "Under the Milky Way", for which I admire them.

Quaffable.

'Round About Midnight

'Round About Midnight
Miles Davis
1957

https://album.link/i/159135486

Example:

I had not listened to this in a while. Good to get back to it. And the Legacy Edition extends it to 1.5 hours of 1957 goodness.

It is funny to watch some reaction videos on the YTs of younger people listening to 70s music, shocked that the recording sounds good. Um, good recordings go way way way back. I digress - listen to more Miles folks.

Listening to more Miles is always advisable. However, your post is the second reminder that I want to watch Round Midnight again (for the many-th time). The first reminder was a Dexter Gordon picture on the wall at the Village Vanguard. Love that movie, Lady Francis.

^ this on TIDAL!! -- Will be working my way through that catalog.

Speaking of Streaming. I found out last night that BAND-MAID finally hit TIDAL as well. I have been waiting for this. They only have two albums so far. So I listened to both of them last night. 

Unseen World

and

Unleash

Unleash
BAND-MAID
2022

Example: Instrumental

As described by one reviewer, 'oh they can Play play'. I get caught up in their franetic playing and heavy hooks. I want to put their albums on repeat on an old computer so that it shows TIDAL to get the rest of the catalog.
