Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this morning with Susanne and this fine quartet and she is sounding mighty sweet and the other members of the quartet are sounding sublime! A great way to start the day…

Streaming on Qobuz (88.2/24)… continuing on this morning with another of Susan’s albums, ‘The Gift.’ She has such a beautiful voice and once again a fine group of musicians supporting her in this quartet. This is one sweet album!

Paul Brady - The missing Liberty Tapes - WAV CD rip
The great singer-songwriter live singing trad Irish folk numbers in 1978, joined at various times by some of the cream of Irish folk musicians, Andy Irvine, Matt Molloy, Liam Og O’Flynn… Fantastic trad folk performances from a master singer and wonderful playing from Brady and his mates, the pipe work from Liam O’Flynn on a couple of numbers is sublime.

I remember hearing this album, at school, in about 75, I "got it "straight away. Been a fan ever since. Have seen them live before and after.

Beautiful playing, lovely recording

This a groovy 1974 ECM release - Dave Liebman Drum Ode. Quite a cast list too. There is quite a contrast in covers between my cd version (Black and white) and the vinyl version which I feel is more representative of the music.

Remember Shakti - Saturday Night in Bombay - WAV CD rip
Indo-Jazz fusion, John McLaughlin on guitar and several master Indian musicians recorded live. 4 wonderful long pieces, each rhythmically and texturally complex and played beautifully by musicians who have complete mastery of their instruments and who interact with each other with complete understanding.

I like to revisit this loscil gig to get into a relaxed state of mind. I’d recommend bookmarking, as it’s a good way to explore the world of Scott Morgan.

loscil on Bandcamp, ideal for tomorrows fee free day.

The Clash - London Calling.

Probably their best album; although I’ll possibly change my opinion about that when I listen to their debut album next. Bought this when it came out, I don’t think there’s a bad track on it.

Also definitely a top-ten album cover (but, not so good as T-Rex’s Electric Warrior- IMO).
