Mars Volta | Frances the Mute | 2004
Some hardcore psychedelic rock 'n free jazz never goes amiss around here and it’s sounding fresh as it’s not been out to play for a long time.

Chequerboard, Dictaphone Showreels. New to me Irish artist discovered recently, bio below from his website, Qobuz 44/16
Irish musician John Lambert has been quietly crafting his music under the moniker Chequerboard for some time now.
“Largely based around Lambert’s gorgeous acoustic guitar playing and beautifully textured electronica these wondrous pieces of music are further fleshed out by the inclusion of fleeting and occasional ghostly vocals and mournful cello lines which together create a mood and feeling that is intoxicating. If you are a fan of some of Post Rock’s quieter exponents, or the minimalist ambient classical music of artists like Max Richter, Johann Johannsson or Olafur Arnalds, Lambert’s music will have instant appeal.” *
Stevie W sounding amazing. I’ve forgotten how incredible this album is… give it another listen folks- it’s joyous.
I (or rather Roon) discovered this today, have enjoyed it so much I’m giving it a second spin, some original material and some old favourites, albeit rearranged from the likes of Bach and Ravel. Well worth listen and the sound quality is top notch too.
Nice choice, I think if pushed, " He’s Misstra Know- It- All " is my favourite SW song
