Lady Blackbird, black acid soul. I probably listen to this too often. Can’t help it.

Fairport Convention - off the desk - WAV CD rip
The current incarnation of the folk-rock pioneers captured live in their 2004 and 2005 tours. Not the innovators of the Denny/Swarbrick/Thompson times, but a very fine band. Mainly songs from the ‘90s albums, English folk-rock played and sung by top-class musicians who always give their best to live audiences.

LP - Arista - reissue : )
Recorded at Acousti Studio, Paris, France / 1979-1980
Have two vinyl copies of this album, the one playing an 80s pre-barcode reissue [DLART1 Germany] that’s a half speed remaster - going by a label stuck the the cover, it sounds sort of ‘okay’ in a polite kind of way.
The other copy looks to be original 1980 German pressing [Arista 31 866 7] but has the most hideous warp, far too bad to play unfortunately.
Nice album tho, even seems to sound a bit festive seasonal on a couple of tracks : )

Stumbled over this one over the weekend. Sounds like the soundtrack to a dark detective movie. And it seems he has indeed produced music for e.g. Breaking Bad.

Wagner - Götterdämmerung - Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma Della RAI / Furtwängler
This may be a 1953 recording, but if you can ignore that fact and the limitations of the sound, it’s totally engrossing. Hagen sounds quite menacing!
