Tricky - Maxinquaye - Qobuz 16/44
Moving through my (25 year late) exploration of Bristol triphop, and on to Tricky. This is superb, deep ominous grooves, challenging lyrics, great music.

Buddy Guy - Blues Singer.

Buddy goes acoustic, and this just the thing to relax to, whilst the barbecue warms up.

Thank you. The only ones I know in your list are Pat Metheny, Egberto Gismonti and Anouar Brahem so that’s a program.

Claude

Thanks for the recommendation. I love Quatuor Ébène and their approach to classical music, jazz etc. I have yet to hear them with Marie Chilleme replacing Mathieu Herzog at viola, so that might be a good place to start.

I really don’t play this enough. Goldfrapp, Silver Eye, on clear vinyl.

You’re welcome Claude. I would recommended it more for evening listening due to the dominance of the flat keys. They are a class act and I’m looking forward to hearing more from them because they have a sophisticated approach to music. In kindness, DA.

Blodwyn Pig - Ahead Rings Out

Can’t believe I almost forgot about this group until I saw them mentioned in another place. Prog blues jazz all in one place. Fantastic!!

10cc, The Original Soundtrack, CD rip (1997 remaster)

Discogs CD arrived and now ripped :slight_smile:
This album, or rather the lack of, has been a glaring hole in my 10cc collection for too long.
