A day away from my normal listening patterns. I am generally not a fan of classically trained voices, but one of the exceptions to my normal dislike is Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, and this 6 disc set of Schubert songs (from my NAS) is wonderful and given the age of the recordings sounds superb as well:
and then to get back to slightly more normal (for me) tastes (well at least half way there), a couple of Jean Michell Jarre albums including this hi-res download of ‘Equinoxe’ also from my NAS that I haven’t played for some time.
Because there are times when only an album of totally extreme pomp rock full of brilliantly played and sung great songs will do, it goes beyond over the top and reaches genius!
Very true, but it still only takes a few seconds before I’m singing along and playing air guitar. At some point in the mid-80s I was reading a junk US-set novel and the teen character was wondering/hoping if he’d get to “second base or third base” on his date. First time the slang had ever registered with me, the next time I heard Paradise By The Dashboard Light I realised I’d missed half the point of the song for years.
