Leonard Cohen | Thanks for the Dance | 2019
In a posthumous new album, Leonard Cohen has robbed death of the last word. ‘Thanks for the Dance’ is not a commemorative collection of B sides and outtakes, but an unexpected harvest of new songs, exciting and vital, a continuation of the master’s final work.
“Seven months after his father passed, Adam Cohen retreated to a converted garage in his backyard down the street from Leonard’s house, to work with his father again, to stay in the company of his voice. From their previous collaboration on ‘You Want It Darker’ there remained bare musical sketches, at times little more than vocals. Leonard had asked his son to bring these works to completion.”
“In composing and arranging the music for his words, we chose his most characteristic musical signatures, in this way keeping him with us” - Adam Cohen

As recommended on this forum - arrived today and after a stinker of a day at work, and snow which I detest, this is just the ticket- cheers guys- a great album with fantastic SQ to boot

I was not in the mood for a weak recording, while the music might be great - it needs a different mood for me to appreciate

Paul Weller Ft Krar Collective - Mother Ethiopa (No Tribe No Colour)
A wonderful 12" from a couple of years ago on Parlophone Records really nice sonics and beautifully pressed.
The other side featuring The Stone foundation is well worth a listen too.

Sometimes my list of new stuff to listen to gets it the way of old stuff.
So rummaging through my collection for something to listen to realised it had been a while since this had an outing.
Cowboy Junkies - Lay It Down

Pink Floyd. More. Listening to my edited version of the soundtrack to this wonderful film. This may not be their best album but it certainly contains some of their finest tracks.

Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker - Original Vinyl
I put this on, scrolled down and noticed Steve played it an hour ago. An amazing farewell album, dark songs of true poetry, sung with Len’s husky voice dragging every ounce of meaning out, powerful and beautiful.

No just the normal 2 LP July 68 recording ‘Dream Letter’ by Demon Records. It’s now re-released as a 3 LP that due to the length should be better. It’s a lovely album.

It’s strange but I now find myself avoiding the familiar narrative tracks:-Hurricane,Joey,Sara and enjoying more the songs I paid less attention to originally:-Mozambique, One more cup of coffee ,Black diamond bay. Isis is special of course.
Leonard Cohen tells a very funny story about Isis and Hallelujah but I’m too tired to relate it and anyway I’m sure you already know it
