I'm finally getting around to listening to Sonny Rollins. 

We've been at the lake house for a few weeks. Will listen to, Way Out West, when I get back to my vinyl rig. 

Till then, Qobuz will have to suffice.

The last 45 minutes of the 48 hour memorial is playing.

Cara Dillon - After The Morning.  A tender and beautiful voice, wonderful songs, several nice ballads with a touch of traditional Irish sound/instruments.  Great for a mellow Sunday morning.

Sample:

Full album

 

 

I really liked this. I don't even know how to describe it -- it's like somewhere between the jazz of Mammal Hands and GoGo Penguin, and ... post-rock?  IDK...

My shelves are filling up with Gondwana and ACT vinyl, so while doing a bit of cleaning I rescued these little gems.

I have the XRCD versions and although their price today is exorbitant, I must admit that they sound very, very good...

Matt Elliott, Only Myocardial Infarction Can Break Your Heart

https://mattelliott.bandcamp.com/album/only-myocardial-infarction-can-break-your-heart

LOL that title.  But the music is typically beautiful, very much in line with most everything he's done since Drinking Songs -- fundamentally rooted on acoustic guitar and his voice.

Oliver Lieb's latest release -- nice background music, pretty much designed for coding/researching/reading/&c.  Just energetic enough to energize me; just diverse enough to keep my interest without demanding to be engaged with my frontal lobe.

Heavy Metal: Music from the Motion Picture

^^ still one of the great soundtracks. 

 

Edit: This should be in the movie section - but thought I would drop it here.

Pardon My French
by Eva Hummingbird (2026)

Example:

New to me - I really liked this series of vignettes by Eva, mostly violin based, but not strictly. 

[robm321]

^ I enjoyed this too.

BTW, Eva Hummingbird is a fictitious character set in 1940's war torn Europe who is a violinist, composer and double agent. 

The actual producer, composer and violinist is, Ceskie.

Paul Mcartney - The Boys of Dungeon Lane

I'm not going to say it's great. In fact, I never actually listened to a Paul Mcartney album before. I've just heard the popular songs on the radio, movies or wherever else they get played, but I thought he's in his 80s, the fact that he has a new album out made me curious and maybe nastalgic that arguably the most talented Beetle is still creating new stuff.

With low expectations you might enjoy it.

These guys now on vinyl.
