This album’s title is rather appropriate, as vibist Kelly and his band move at such breakneck speed through the six numbers here that they scarcely had time to stop. It’s exhausting just listening to it! Dadisi Komolafe on flute is outstanding.
This rare album came out in 1983 on the very collectable Nimbus West label and is presented here as a superb-sounding Pure Pleasure LP mastered by the ubiquitous Kevin Gray.
St. Vincent - Actor. Still struggling to love the latest LP, but I really like this one, and this was a ‘grower’ as it were.
Antonin Dvorak, Symphony No. 7 “From the New World”. Berliner Philharmoniker, Rafael Kubelik. DGG 2020 LP reissue.
I don’t think Dvorak’s masterpiece needs much introduction - ever since its world premiere in December 1893 it has remained his most popular symphony in concert halls around the world.
Kubelik’s version also remains a favourite 48 years later, and one can figure out why right from the first few bars. He makes the Berlin Philharmonic sound swift and agile while keeping its trademark sumptuous sound signature, and IMO that suits Dvorak’s 9th perfectly.

Glad you like it. I am tempted to change my ringtone to Call Me. But I won’t pick up call if I did and just let it play on… 
Based on that logic, I should put Florence Forster Jenkins as my ringtone. 
Kacey MusGraves, golden hour. I think this forum was under maintenance this morning hence it was read only. So nice to start this morning and the week with this KM album. Slow burn, let’s start slowly. 
Imelda May, 11 past the hour. Not nearly as blown away as life love flesh blood. But worth a listen and the second half of the album is really nice.
