Yes .
Most of his albums, in my opinion, are classic …
First listen of the latest release from the excellent set of Brilliant Live Adventures releases and this one certainly does not disappoint. Good sq and a great track listing. Very enjoyable indeed

Antonio Vivaldi, La Stravaganza, Op. 4. 1-9. The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock. Part of a 7-CD box set: Stravaganza, 55 Concertos.
Trevor Pinnock directed the English Concert for 30 years, building upon the work of Gustav Leonhardt and Nikolaus Harnoncourt on period instruments and developing his own musical signature. What impresses me the most is Pinnock’s uncanny ability to go to the essential and extract the core of any music he plays. His version of the Stravaganza is a typical example.
I’d like to compare this version to the reference recording by Rachel Podger and Arte dei Suonatori someday.

Absolutely a classic, as is almost everything Perrett has touched since (musically, not chemically; it’s amazing he’s still alive).

Victim of pop culture I first read that as Kim Kardashian and thought God she gets everywhere, then i looked properly… My apologies to Ms Kashkashian especially when i read the wikipedia entry…
" In a 2013 interview with Hollywood.com Kashkashian stated that she is constantly confused with reality television personality Kim Kardashian due to their similarly spelled surnames."

Screaming Target needs no introduction to seasoned Reggae fans, but the Trojan 2CD expanded version gathers together the original vocal cuts and dubs produced by Augustus “Gussie” Clarke.
It’s available to stream on a Tidal Master.
See the Reggae Vibes review below
Screaming Target” is a classic Jah Youth album we have all surely heard many times before — but this is the definitive release, since it backs up the original DJ tunes by adding the original vocal cuts and some alternative dubs. No less than fourteen extra bonus tracks are added here, including the essential Pablo/Rockers tunes, “Half Way Tree” and “Organ Style”, both of which are sublime, and similar in style to Pablo’s tunes on Lloydie Coxsonne’s “King Of The Dub Rock” in that the approach here fuses a free form jazz sensibility into its dub soul.
Also essential is the haunting dub to KC White’s “Anywhere But Nowhere”, with its lyrical sentiment of frustrated, existential stoicism. (“I could be anywhere — but still be nowhere.”)
Most listeners are totally satiated with “Skylarking” and surely don’t need another cut — but this imaginative version will turn your head, and is by no means token filler, but proves to be JA dubwise at its peaks of creativity.
The Glen Brown productions are intense too.
A fine collection and most will consider it the definitive release of this album, collecting as it does, DJ, vocal and dubwise cuts. The Pop Art/Warhol style sleeve is great too
