Not his best album but we’ve got a family friend who has stage 4 cancer and battling to make Christmas, Lou’s lyrics kind of put things in perspective.

She has played with many artists including Jeff Beck……multi-instrumentalist best known for her bass playing……very nice on this solo album.

Paul Heaton - The Last King Of Pop, a superb compilation taking in his work with The Housemartins, The Beautiful South and his present day collaborations with Jacqui Abbot.

Sorry for repeating myself. Again!
I’ve played all of both boxes today, and this Atmos mix twice, too.
Thinking of finishing off with the BC-13 Blue Box stereo shortly.
And despite all of the overload, I’m still really enjoying this album I’ve known and loved for nearly five decades! It’s the pinnacle . . . though I say that about most of their albums at one time or another. (Well, bar Yellow Submarine, maybe. Though side one is amazing!).
Extra thought: just as Tomorrow Never Knows finishes in all its multi-channel 5.1 glory, I realise how other worldly and brilliant it actually sounds in it’s original mono incarnation. It’s truly surround mono!
Testament to the wondrousness of its creation. The whole album.

I finally got my receiver back, with its phono stage rebuilt - listening to some used vinyl I traded for while in vinyl limbo:
My absolute fave Pat Metheny album.

Anat Cohen (Clarinet), Jason Lindner (Piano), Omer Avital (Bass), Daniel Freedman (Drums), Danny Miller (Cello), David Creswell (Viola), Antoine Silverman (Violin) and Belinda Whitney (Violin).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this afternoon with this 2007 release from Anat and she and this talented group of Manhattan jazz luminaries along with a string quartet are sounding sublime!

I posted BHDC’s second album a while ago.
This is their first, and I think my favourite of the two. A bit more focused. There’s a Siouxsie influence in Sasha’s vocals too (I’m a sucker for Sioux)

Bauhaus - In the Flat Field - 1980
As NME said at the time, “nine meaningless moans and flails bereft of even the most cursory contour of interest, a record which deserves all the damning adjectives usually levelled at grim-faced ‘modernists’”
I think that’s why I like it.

That’s a pretty good description of the NME. Even at its peak, halfwits like Paul bloody Morley and Ian bloody Penman could bore for England with their unreadable screeds of crap. I still read it – until they even managed to ruin the crossword.
