Yesterday I listened to

Super db - Ecoute Ca 

....They said it's some mix of Earth, Wind & Fire, Supertramp, Steely Dan and other late 70's bands. What could go wrong?

Interesting. Nostalgia band for sure. Including some ELO "Xanadu", some Genesis, an R&B song that I know, but could not place. I actually got distracted most of the time with, hey that sounds like <enter song or band>.  What is old is new again, time after time...... 

{good bass player though} 

Edit: -- I found it, Mornin' by Al Jarreau

Yep, lots of ELO in the mix that I forgot to mention. Good catch on Al Jarreau, I missed that one  

Philip Glass: Akhnaten (Metropolitan Opera)

14 TRACKS (2:17:41)

Trailer - but I listened to recording:

 

Big Red Machine - How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?

I had never heard of these guys, but they have a lot of collaborators on this album that I do like, such as Anaïs Mitchell, Sharon Van Etten and Fleet Foxes.

Very pleasant listen.

Lovely piano music.

Yesterday I Had The Blues - The Music of Billie Holiday

José James

Still Wish You Were Here - A Tribute To Pink Floyd
Various Artists
2021

Interesting album. Falls short mostly on the various vocal performances. 

Example: Welcome to the Machine · Todd Rundgren · Rick Wakeman · Tony Levin

 

I will check that out, just for the varied musicians involved!  I have never seen Rat Scabies of the Damned do something like this.....

And Bootsy Collins too.....?

Rick Wakeman, eat your heart out!

I wouldn't.  And I love Pink Floyd, but it looks like it was recycled from one of those tribute albums from the 90's/2000's.  I mean, Edgar Froese is dead.  (RIP)

They're just trying to milk blood from a stone.  (...stone...stone...stone...stone...stone...)

Here, listen to this instead, it's actually creative:

I especially liked their versions of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" (kinda made it a trip-hop version) and "Sheep" (won't spoiler it).

Listen to it, yourself, here.

By the way, it's Bandcamp Friday, wherein Bandcamp waive all fees, and 100% proceeds go to the artists.

Thanks to folks here,

I also just posted something rough, long, and experimental. This is just raw output from my modular through a CXM 1978. It could definitely benefit from a real mix, but here it is anyway:

This was great, thanks for posting it!

I'm listening to some ancient electronic music from the 70's with tasty tasty analog synthesizers -- Space Art

Al Di Meola Plays Piazzolla

Not an example:

Just...superblime.  I was in love with Al Di Meola playing Piazzolla before the album existed.  (Libertango is from a different album, but I must've heard him play it live before this record came out, during the Cielo e Terra/Scenario era, which is when I first saw him play live.)

It's hard to stay cranky when one is listening to music this beautiful.

My Top three singer/songwriters are Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Kris Kristofferson.

I cannot really disagree with the above but I always have trouble because I also like Steve Earle a lot since one of my favorite albums is 

Which I am listening to right now
