Great-value él Records twofer pairing Wally Stott’s famous 1958 tone poem with selections from Mel Tormé’s Meets The British album (arranged by Stott) and various Noel Coward ditties. I love London, I love British light music, I adore Coward and I adore the Velvet Fog, so what’s not to like? Musically, nothing, though the mastering is a bit sharp and toppy for my taste…

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

Wild, funny, inventive and bawdy (that NSFW cover is a clue!), this 1993 release still sounds fresh as paint to me.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this Sunday morning with Eleni’s ‘Eternity and a Day’ on a cool, overcast and damp morning. The music is warm, wonderful, comforting and peaceful and a lovely way to ease into the day. A very sweet album and sounding sublime!

Pendragon | Pure | 2009
A more rock infused album than their earlier prog’ albums, it’s one I like a lot and as ever the band remains more appreciated in the Scandi’ nations than back in blighty.
