I’m very familiar (think most of us are) with Smooth Operator was going to play that.

Delta Kream featured album of the day just now on Lauren Laverne. I didnt realise it was an album of covers, explains why I thought some of it sounded a bit familiar, doh!

Sara K. & Chris Jones, live in concert, are we there yet. I have listened to quite a few Sara K albums before but never this. This is awesome. I am totally there!

Ditto… I did exactly the same when my new setup landed about a month ago.

John Lennon. Walls and bridges. I think it was @AlanP who prompted me to play this 2010 cd reissue.
An unfairly neglected album.

Not my favourite album but it’s certainly has the sonics to test a new setup.

It’s got some great tracks. Sadly I think John’s work in general has been neglected, shame.

London Grammer - “Californian Soil” (2021)
The dedicated thread has been interesting. Nice to see a mp3 on a car radio player seems to have put a positive sway overall. Being critical for no reason does not make you a better listener. Enjoy it or set it aside, life goes on.

Mandolin Orange (Watchhouse) - “Blindfaller” (2016)

Been streaming this since release day. Interestingly seems to be getting a mixed reception from casual listeners and fans alike.
As a PW fan I think I may have got carried away with my first impressions just because it’s a new PW album, I previously said I thought it might be his best yet, having listened to it more I think maybe a bit of hyperbole on my part.
It’s good but I’m not sure it’s as good as what’s gone before since 22 Dreams
