@seakayaker re: 50 Words for Snow

I think that album sounds better and better every year, can’t really explain why it’s just so relaxing and at peace with itself and the world.

The Pretenders The Singles

[Alley_Cat]

Just for good measure having mentioned it, one of the most beautiful ballads I’ve ever heard:

Van Morrison - Have I Told You Lately

[Pete_the_painter]

Bryan Ferry Another Time, Another Place

[Pete_the_painter]

Crosby Stills Nash and Young 4 Way Street (disc 1 and 2)

[Diver41]

Don’t be put off by the formula persona of Asian female singers–this woman will change that
right away!–super recoding as well.

Excellent old school Canterbury scene folk.

Lou Reed. New York. Disc 3. Works in progress/singles/encore. Completing my listening of this excellent box set.

Refugees: A Charisma Records Anthology, cd rip

So pleased I picked this up cheaply several years ago. Some really excellent artists/tracks from what, IMO, was one of the most influential and definitive album labels.

Jordi Savall & various artists - Bach Magnificat & Vivaldi Concerti - Qobuz

I love Sacred music. The Magnificat (My Soul magnifies The Lord), which I have never heard before, is a Revelation of Musical and Spiritual Beauty. Disregarding the religious associations it raises the spirit just as Perfect Planet does.

The performance is wonderful in every respect. I played it because I am working through Pierre Hantai’s albums.

I love that album. Hantaï is brilliant.

[anon4489532]

This was released last week. Twelve preludes and fugues from Book 2, played in a non standard order and sometimes slowed down. It’s great playing and a really nice piano sound. It got five stars in the Guardian, which is quite uncommon. Highly recommended.

I love that album. Hantaï is brilliant.

Yes, Nigel, he is. I have always loved Early and Sacred Music, and that is his niche.

Celeste - Not Your Muse

2nd play, really enjoying this album

[Dreadatthecontrols]

I bought this on both LP & CD on the day of release. Theres been so much good stuff coming out and only 24hrs in a day that’s its unforgivably only been played a couple of times and got buried amongst my bulging new/ish section.
Rectifying the matter forthwith!
