Banners - Where The Shadow Ends
aka Mike Nelson started singing with the Liverpool Cathedral Choir. Lovely velvety falsetto delivery that grows and swells with the music. Very much a Feel good album his delivery reminds me a little of Chris Martin.
Thanks for that GrahamK, it confirms my thoughts on it. I’m thinking of a separate power supply also at some stage but will start with the karousel first. However I believe there are compatibility issues with Nirvana and Valhalla PSUs! Cheers
Of Monsters And Men - My Head Is An Animal
Icelandic Acoustic Folk/Rock 6 piece band with twin lead vocalists and guitarists Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar “Raggi” Þórhallsson, outstanding anthemic debut album, reminds me a little of Arcade Fire and Mumford & Sons.

@Haim Saw this performed at Birmingham Symphony Hall some years ago, so good we went back a few days later as there was a second performance. It was brilliant and very visual with the enormous ribbons and chimes hanging high above the audience and 'played’from the stage. Highly recommended. Rarely performed.

Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On. (CD rip). I’ve watched a couple of episodes of the new 1971 Apple TV+ series this week (excellent so far), so I’m revisiting some the featured albums after watching each episode - something the doc really encourages you to do.

It’s the only one I have, like you I am not sure why, as I enjoy this album, but for some unknown reason I have never bothered listening to any of there other albums, I shall have to remedy that and have a listen on Qobuz.

Toru Takemitsu - Nexus
Toru Takemitsu (Composer), Carl St. Clair (Conductor), Ensemble (Nexus) and Orchestra (Pacific Symphony Orchestra).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… a mention from @Haim and @BobF above had me place this album in the queue and now taking out for a spin and the opening track is sounding sublime! A beautiful way to wake up and kick off this beautiful Wednesday morning…
