What are you listening to in 2020 and WHY might anyone be interested?

It was, I heard a lot of the tv themes last year but not much else which I really enjoyed today.

What a great phrase!

Prince - Chaos And Disorder, not one of his better efforts, but there is always something worth hearing.

Hi, really sad but listening to all of the albums in the book 1001 albums to must listen to before you die, only could by using spotify, but must say that some are very hard going, music critics like to throw in curve balls.

Jack Johnson - On and On

Don’t know what it is but these two gentlemen seem to have come alive in my listening room since I last heard these, especially Mr Johnson! I have made a few improvements though.

Very enjoyable.

Mike Heron. Smiling men. 1971 vinyl. One of my favourite albums. Solo from ISB man helped out by the Who amongst others.

Santana - Multi Dimensional Warrior, a double cd compiled by Carlos himself to highlight his spirituality.Playing the first disc, I have noticed some subtle remastering that has given the songs from different albums a uniform sound.This helps the concept much better instead of it being just a collection of disparate tracks.

Ænima [1996]
Hard to credit that Tool’s sophomore album is getting on for 25 years old… great alternative metal (as ever) from this less than prolific outfit.

I think I will confine myself to this thread where the passion is music. I am becoming increasingly depressed with other threads that are obsessed with continuously upgrading hardware. Just listen to the music man😎
