December 29, 20241 yr Jon Batiste - Beethoven Blues You can find it at most streaming services and Qobuz (I still don't get why Odesli won't link Qobuz pages). TBH I listened to it yesterday and mostly to please a friend who had listened to it and thought it is awesome. I always have certain prevention against jazz or pop albums trying to make something worthy from classical music, especially the one that I find the work of a genius. As much as I tend to dislike pop/jazz/rock played in a classical arrangement, like those abominations of The Beatles for string quartet. This album is something else, yet not fully to my liking. I enjoyed very much a couple of tunes, others were just fine and there were like three that could have been not recorded. If someone listens to it, I'd love reading your thoughts.
December 29, 20241 yr 50yo album time Autobahn by Kraftwerk (1974) https://album.link/i/726154713 (and yeah I don't know why they don't list QOBUZ as well) Example (THE track): This album is a lot more playful that I remember. I was very used to the later works where they seem more serious.
December 30, 20241 yr 50yo pair Here Come The Warm Jets by Brian Eno (1974) https://album.link/i/723783174 Example: His first solo - and it is all over the place - in the best way. He tried most things, and most of them worked. And a good Album Title. A clear contrast to: Country Life by Roxy Music (1974) https://album.link/i/724178403 Example: YouTube wont let me post the original song for some age restriction reason or something. There is no bad lyrics in here.. yeesh Oh well. Overall a fun album.
December 30, 20241 yr Nubya Garcia - Odyssey I really liked this album. Inspiring stuff. Very intricate and inovative. It will take some listening effort on your part to get where it's coming from.
December 31, 20241 yr Moontan by Golden Earring (1974) https://album.link/i/81668043 Example: Another band that I know by name and two songs. My bad, I would have had these on my playlists a long time ago. There is a lot for me here. Great jams, 9+minute songs. Classic guitar sound. Now that I know, I shan't forget.
December 31, 20241 yr 50yo -- Oh yeah ^^ one is 50yo as well. Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan (1974) https://album.link/i/1696215205 Example: More diverse than other albums, which I liked. But it is a good not great album for me. Of course a handful of killer tunes, but then a few that are a miss for me. It will be in rotation. Well until I listen to Aja again and this one may get lost in the queue.
January 1, 20251 yr Aja is a masterpiece. Before you listen to it, make sure to check this out, if you haven't already.
January 1, 20251 yr 50yo Phases And Stages by Willie Nelson (1974) https://album.link/i/885243424 Example: I really like this album. Tender and pretty. He was happy to be on Atlantic records.
January 3, 20251 yr Mendelssohn - Murray Perahia, Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Neville Marriner – Piano Concertos Nos 1 & 2 Picked up this LP used. I've always liked Mendelssohn.
January 3, 20251 yr Still have some 50yo's kicking around in my queue: In Too Much Too Soon by New York Dolls (1974) https://album.link/i/1443895609 Example: Fun rock with early punk vibes.
January 3, 20251 yr Streetlights by Bonnie Raitt (1974) https://album.link/i/287366514 Example: Strong Album. I only knew her in the 80's once I found Nick Of Time and the rest. I should have, and still should, explore her 70s work. One of the quintessential voices in my life. Ed: of Note - Drums – Stephen Gadd... :} Edited January 3, 20251 yr by mikeymad

I've always liked Mendelssohn. This. (boring stereo version) Murry is one of my favs for Mozart. This whole combo works really well for me for the 2nd Concerto. I am not sure I am a real fan of the first just as a work, nothing against this version. Thanks rob.
January 6, 20251 yr Kimono My House by Sparks (1974) https://album.link/i/1443750483 Example: More fun than I was expecting, and really good.
January 7, 20251 yr Fire by Ohio Players (1974) https://album.link/i/1434907387 Example: The title track is the star of the show, but once I found 'What the Hell' (track 7), I was entranced. Not just by the album cover. And yup it was a gatefold.
