His voice has mellowed a lot compared to the early years, dare I say quite soothing really. Half way through , the album feels rather laid back, folksy but at the same time more pragmatic, irreverent but as usual with reflective and profound lyrics. Enjoying it more than The Tempest.
I’m not that good at doing reviews just trust my instincts and I think it is his best album in years. Have a listen yourself and let me know.
Cheers.

We Can’t Dance (on CD) by Phil Collins, sorry I mean Genesis. From 1991.
To my ears kinda hybrid, with occasional reminders of legacy Genesis but the vast majority is very much in the style of PC. Parts of this almost define as ‘easy listening’ (I’ll get my Val Doonican jumper out).

Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways - Tidal 16/44
1st listen to the full album, my vinyl edition has arrived at my place and my neighbour’s collected it from my porch, streaming on the Qb here. On first listen loving it, and I think it’ll grow on me even more. It feels like I’m in a small club with his Bobness intoning directly to me. Lovely slow numbers, some classy 12 bar blues, some deeply personal songs and some angrily social numbers, all couched in beautiful allusive language. For me it’s totally compelling listening, I’m dragged into his world, as I said above it feels like he’s talking to me personally.

I agree with you though I particularly enjoyed the Rachmaninoff. In fact, it is one of my favorite sonata for cello.
I will try this one also today. She is fantastic and the instrument she is playing has a full body sound, very compact and a beautiful timbre.

Neil Young - Homegrown - Tidal 16/44
Another new release record waiting at my neighbour’s, so streaming here. Lovely Harvest style Young, mainly beautiful songs with lovely tunes and playing, I’m not sure Florida will ever grow on me.

Just been to see the finished plastering… not 100% perfect but acceptable; huge sighs of relief all round

LP - Columbia / CBS Inc. 1980 : )
A host of Earth, Wind & Fire guys came along to help produce this fabulous album, including todays birthday boy Larry Dunn who performed the synthesizer (and programming) plus wrote the arrangements along with Maurice White.

I agree his voice is soothing but it’s also sinister as well. The album has a swagger about it, it moves slowly but gracefully. Best album for years.
It also sounds like I feel.

David, I would love see Tord and hopefully he makes a stop in Seattle someday. I do have a copy of each of the eight albums (CD’s) that I played on Qobuz yesterday since they have seven of them available in HiRes.
I noticed that the ‘Human and Places’ album is availble on Qobuz and placed it in the queue for later today. I’ll be on the lookout for a copy of ‘Contemporary Tradition.’ Thanks for the heads up.
