Pete La Roca - Basra

From the BN80 series. Superb record. As my Karousel/Kandid approach ten months since being installed, I reckon this must be about the 60th record played. Nonetheless, it’s still sounding pretty good.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Playing the Piano

First listen of my new CD after I heard one track, Nostalgia, on FM R3 one morning a fortnight ago.

A friend once described the sound of Rachel Grimes’ piano playing through his n-SATS as ‘luminous’. Without knowing exactly what he meant, this sounds the same! In a good way.
