Hard to believe they're still squeezing cash out of it, but the less obviously 80s remixes of the Gilmour-era stuff are actually worth a listen.

Disagree.  The post-Waters stuffs is more Pink Floyd than Final Cut or even THE WALL.

I'm confused. It's more PINK FLOYD but less worth a listen?

since i just bought tickets to see sleep...

Sleep - Sleep's Holy Mountain

 

It comes out that this is one of the very few recorded performances by Django Reinhardt. Got to it from this talented guitarist YT channel

More Pink?  Or more Floyd?  Oh by the way.....

I actually like some of this stuff, I lost interest in the Roger Waters "takeover" albums.......

I've also been listening to some of their acoustic tracks on Tidal scattered in their various EPs. The acoustic stuff is great. Really makes me wish they would release an entire album of acoustic takes.

I've always been a sucker for when they cut it loose. The old Dalton Bros. bit has always been a favorite of mine.

Again, I disagree.  The Waters takeover albums * are certainly compelling listens, but I much prefer the post-Waters albums.

 I forget who, but someone called them Waters solo albums with Pink Floyd as the backing band.

* Thanks for that, going to call them that from now on.

Except for the Middle, More and DSOTM, I also prefer post-water albums. 

Moreover, I think that "David Gilmour" for being simpler is better album (more enjoyable) than Animals, The Wall or The Final Cut.

For those who find Zu Audios demo music at audio shows at least as interesting as their gear, they just issued their albums of the year. Usually alt-heavy, but always worth a try. Starting them and thought you may be interested too.  

Gary Numan with the Skaparis Orchestra, When the Sky Came Down: Live at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester  in Master quality on Tidal 

Enrico Rava & Joe Lovano - Roma

To me one of the best jazz releases in 2019. It's available on Tidal and they have that MQA shit as well. 

I love Joe.

I'll check it out today.

Lollers 

No seriously, I definitely will give it a listen if you think that highly of the music.

Really digging the Sweet-ness of Honeymoon Disease (and maybe a little bit of Blue Oyster Cult, less the mystical shit).  Check out "Calling You":

...or the singles, "Electric Eel" (last track), "Doin It Again" (first track), or "Four Stroke Woman" (right after "Calling You")

I heart this so much, the ONLY holiday album I can listen to almost any time.....

I need to hear that one. Thanks for pointing it out Antonio!

Oh, unholy carp, they have the entirety of Max Richter's Sleep in Master on Tidal.

Good night, my friends, see you in the morning.

Checking this out today and its a lot better than I thought it would be!

Been digging the Nuggets from the Moon YT channel recently. Lots of great Xmas music, but right now Bang Bang by Xavier Cugat.

Looking forward to trying this DualDisc ? in my Sony UHP-H1. Seems to work ok in an external LaCie DVD-RW drive with the MacBook, but it's probably reverting to lossy audio (Dolby Digital 5.1), not DVD-Audio.
