Now playing…

Amina Alaoui - Arco Iris

Amina Alaoui (vocals, daf), Saïfallah Ben Abderrazak (violin), Sofiane Negra (oud), José Luis Montón (flamenco guitar), Eduardo Miranda (mandolin) and Idriss Agnel (percussion, electric guitar).

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this Friday morning with the beautiful voice of Amina Alaoui and the very talented group of musicians performing with her on this album. This is one sweet album and puts a smile on my face every time I take it out for a spin!

@Alanm1 I’ve got not the remixed or remastered but the repainted version - you must have got an old bench version.

Well that’s interesting.

The cover immediately made me think of Kate Bush’s Babooshka video for some reason.

A quick search and I turned up:

Gary Numan | Savage | 2017
This one came as a surprise for me when it was released, an unexpectedly fine album from an artist that I’d payed little attention to in recent years. Good stuff.

Hi Andy,

I believe this is a newer version - it mentions Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI. Discogs tells me it’s 2012 and a limited edition which seems a bit odd as I bought it 2-3 months ago. It’s a gatefold and definitely 180 gram.
My photography is poor on this and I cropped out the hand trying to get it onto the iPhone. The colours are not correct, It looks like the one you added beneath it. First time I noticed she has her fingers crossed.
Still sounds great though.

Regards
Alan

A little cheating on a very wet Friday.
Selected genre then jazz and queued up to play. Kazoo picks first 1000 tracks (I think BubbleUPnP does over 4000 which 24/7 would play for over a week).
Selected “shuffle”.
Already had some Dixieland, Charlie Christian, Erroll, Tatum, Miles, Blakey, Milt, Ray Brown, Metheny, Louis, Dinah, Chris Barber, Diana Krall, Sidney Bechet, Ellington, Brubeck, Coltrane …
Good way of checking out your library and being surprised !
