July 8, 20233 yr comment_916241 A housemate had this on nearly a continual repeat back in the early '90's. Almost spoiled it for me - but I still pull it out occasionally, and thoroughly enjoy it. Edited July 8, 20233 yr by Spork Report
July 8, 20233 yr comment_916246 One of the greatest albums. I have it on vinyl and listen to it occasionally for the same reason. Report
July 8, 20233 yr comment_916251 I don’t believe I have two copies of anything on vinyl. I have three copies of Rumours. Report

July 10, 20233 yr comment_916357 Live In Australia (Remastered 1998) Elton John 1987 https://album.link/i/1435044337 Example: Simply one of my favorite live albums of all time, up there with Billy Joel's Songs in the Attic. Full blown arraignments of tunes with orchestra in mind, not a gimmick (I am looking at you metallica). It is recorded well, not perfect, but the rest makes up for it in spades with performance and scale. I first saw this performance on HBO or something like that at the time, and was blown away by it and ordered up the album soon afterwards (thank you Columbia House Music Club). I still have it but it has been packed away for so long, so I was very happy to have a good version on Tidal to bring it all back to me (and be portable). I think I am on my third listen in a few days, I will not let it stray that far away again. Report
July 11, 20233 yr comment_916449 Stereo Mind Game Daughter 2023 https://album.link/i/1659524944 Example: Newer release from Daughter. I know that they have been around for ten years or so, but I have not been following them. I really appreciated the overall mood and vibe of this album. Not standout songs, But takes me on a slow journey that I really enjoyed. I will have to go back and take a look at the lyrics to see how the messages match-up. I am not great with lyrics for the most part on a first listen. Report

Who would have thought? yeesh. Other than that it is fricken great. Cheers to Horace, George and Al. Report
July 13, 20233 yr comment_916563 Undiscovered Vol.2 Ludovico Einaudi 2023 https://album.link/i/1676434349 Example: A nice collection of old and new tunes from Ludovico. He writes some lovely melodies and with minimalist styles. Like Hania Rani, Ludovico can produce some sense of longing that is rare. Report

July 14, 20233 yr comment_916579 Chelsea Wolfe, Abyss (no relation) Trying to decide on my vote for the best album of from 2010 January 1 to 2019 December 31, and Abyss came up as a choice, and I did listen to it quite obsessively when I discovered it. Listening to it now, it's definitely a contender. ExSample: List so far is: Matt Elliott, The Broken Man Max Richter, Sleep Kyros, Vox Humana Al1ce, The 13th Hour Big Big Train, English Electric David Bowie, Blackstar Hiromi, not even sure which one -- Voice, Move, Alive, Spark, Spectrum... Fiona Apple, The Idler Wheel... Nick Cave, The Skeleton Key or Push the Sky Away Oneohtrix Point Never, Replica, R Plus Seven, tricot, T H E, Slowdive, Slowdive Leonard Cohen, You Want It Darker Albums I need to look into: Daughters, Alvvays, The Caretaker, Destroyer, Clarence Clarity, Lamp (more), Beach House, And what the fuck is "slushiewave" -- music inspired by brainfreezes?

July 15, 20233 yr comment_916689 ^ I think that’s from last year, right? Well, the web seems mixed on the two years, though I bought the LPs back in Covid days. Or could there be two or an abridged release with the same title? Report
July 15, 20233 yr comment_916694 Hmmm. I think that there is something going on there. There was a release in April of last year, to your point, but TIDAL shows last month. So I turn to the best source that I know - Discogs. So it looks like TIDAL has picked up this release and format push that Anti has released. Regardless - I like. Yeah it is a compilation, but what better way to get to know an artist? - thx Ric. Report
July 15, 20233 yr comment_916698 Probably took a year to get the MQA just right. 👌 And agree it’s a great collection. Report
July 15, 20233 yr comment_916703 ^^ saw that yesterday and liked it. I then added her recent Chopin album on DG to my queue. There is always one more album to listen to. Report
