March 4, 20251 yr This is interesting. I always thought Atomic Bomb was the album where things started to go creatively sideways for Bonovox, Edge, and the boys. Little they have done since that album has resonated with me. This compilation of cast-offs from the Atomic Bomb sessions shows they had much more creatively interesting stuff in the can that sadly ended up getting shelved. This is a band at their best when they are daring, not playing it safe. I’d listen to this again easily before firing up Atomic Bomb, which, outside of Vertigo, is forgettable.

March 5, 20251 yr Hmmm - when I looked up G3 on QOBUZ - I got this... Not sure what I am going to get with this one...
March 6, 20251 yr Something tells me it may wreck you. Listen to the release G3: 25th Anniversary Reunion Tour (G3 Reunion Live) by Joe Satriani on Qobuz https://open.qobuz.com/album/nwkrf484aks6b
March 7, 20251 yr Only a single track so far.... https://open.qobuz.com/album/c3b4cxuxv0daa from Wild and Clear and Blue by I’m With Her (2025) Release May 9th - seem so far away.... {as the single plays on repeat for a while}
March 8, 20251 yr It's Ravel's 150th, so listening to some Ravel -- soloists Yuja Wang, Martha Argerich, Heifetz, et al. Will try to squeak in some orchestral works or his arrangement of Pictures.
March 8, 20251 yr ^^ this as well. A couple of new recordings I have been listening, but not posted. Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works by Seong-Jin Cho (2025) No other info - I cannot really recommend. I thought it was good, but I could not get into it. I didn't get pulled into it like I do with others. But.... Ravel: The Piano Concertos by Seong-Jin Cho (2025) https://album.link/vtjmcqgztdbbx Example: This on the other hand I can give a full recommendation on. Nelsons and the BSO with Cho on DG is a wonderful combo. My friend in LA saw Cho playing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic last month and he was very impressed, and it was a long show.
March 10, 20251 yr Listened to a couple things, one of which is a "catharsis" recording for me. Back in 2001, Karen was first diagnosed with breast cancer. Our son Andrew was all of 1.5 years old, and I imagined him not having a mother. This album by Beth Nielsen Chapman was done after her husband died of cancer. I spent many a night listening to this, bawling my eyes out. To say the least, more tears when I pulled it out again. The London Grammar album is a great one, just listened to that one again for enjoyment.

March 13, 20251 yr Wow, I kind of lost track of these guys in the early 2000s. Looks like they have been recording for the last decade..
March 13, 20251 yr Sentimentally Yours by Patsy Cline (1962) https://album.link/f3skbf06kmfrd Example: Very good Patsy... very good indeed.
March 14, 20251 yr Contrasts by Blonde On Blonde (1969) https://album.link/t3pz40nzwbnvg Example: Bit of prog, bit of psychedelia, with some tasty late 60s jams... I like...
March 14, 20251 yr Just realized this year is 100th anniversary of Art Pepper. It'll be on September 1st. That's because I was listening to this: https://artpepper.bandcamp.com/album/smack-up-contemporary-records-acoustic-sounds-series-remastered-2024?utm_source=album_release&utm_medium=email&utm_content=fanpub_fb&utm_campaign=artpepper%2Balbum%2Bsmack-up-contemporary-records-acoustic-sounds-series-remastered-2024
March 14, 20251 yr ^^ nice. I added this to my queue this morning - But I didn't know about the 100 years since birth thing.. I have not listened to it yet.
March 14, 20251 yr New Steven Wilson (The Overview) Two tracks, effectively. I guess he's doing pProg again. I liked it. His head voice...sounds like mine. I don't consider that good, as I am barely a beginner, and I don't practice. That said, I do like his more than mine (we all hate our own recorded voices), I am just not sure what the intangible (to me) difference is.
March 17, 20251 yr The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery by Wes Montgomery (1960) https://album.link/sn0dthrqvkqbb Example: I don't feel I listen to Wes enough.. and this was just a reminder...
March 19, 20251 yr Getz Au Go Go by The New Stan Getz Quartet (1964) https://album.link/d9qhntpcj25fx Example: I said I needed more Astrud in my life, and I get Getz for free. Even better..
