What are you listening to in 2021 and why might anyone be interested

Reggae and Dub it ain’t :grinning:

It’s the one thing I miss about Vinyl the artwork and the space it allowed designers to do their thing.

It might be just me but album covers seem to have changed to a generic photo of the artist sitting or standing somewhere. I guess the space allowed by CD’s and now Streaming means they don’t have a lot of space to play with.

But what do I know

A bit of old Al to go with the new Innuos update today, all sounding very pleasant indeed.

Came for a quick look for something to listen to whilst doing evening stables

Saw @Thruster04 suggestion of checking out Quartet Muartet
Qobuz only has this but literally 3 notes in and I’m lost in the music.

Great suggestion

Small Faces - Ogdens Nut Gone Flake (Tidal Master)
(can anyone recommend a decent vinyl mastering)

Following The Village Green I just had to reach for the Ogdens, another brilliant whimsically british record
Stanley Unwin, Happiness Stan and Lazy Sunday Afternoon which I used to mischeviously taunt some particularly nasty and intolerant neighbours with on Sunday mornings back in the day, its lyrics being acerbically fitting and hilarious.

That’s good, I’ve eyed the Mike Westbrook too. Just wondered about the pressings, as you’ll know records can sometimes have great mastering pedigree to only end up being messed up at the final mile by poor pressing.

Commodores. Vinyl… One of my guilty pleasures. Love “Brick House”, so non PC.

Unfortunately it runs to just four track and fifteen minutes but it’s a good blast nonetheless.

Craig Taborn - Shadow Plays

Craig Taborn (Piano).

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… released today and taking out for a spin and the opening track is sounding sublime! Looking forward to the rest of the album.

How is the bass (voice) on ‘You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’ - Lee’s voice on my system could cause structural damage.
