Drawn to this discovery by a positive review in this month’s HFN (other hifi magazines are available).

A Norwegian four piece rock band who bounce along very nicely.

Just the job on this gawd awful Yorkshire afternoon.

Nice one - my copy is in the loft with the rest of the vinyl but I did make a very good CDR which i ripped.

I think this is pretty much the catalogue apart from Live in Paris and another Live album from Italy.

Hector Plimmer - Sunshine (Tidal/Alberts Favourites)

Tidal auto select dropped this on me…
Ambient noodling, what sounds like synthesised bird sounds…
Bulb reminds me a lot of Massive Attack (good)…
Conga percussion, drones, what sounds like someone plinking a glass

That’s just the first three tracks. Av’nt a clue! :joy:

Follow up to the brilliant ‘Damn the Torpedoes’. ‘Hard Promises’ is almost as good.

Released in Spring '81, the original had a tribute to John Lennon, etched into the run out groove: “WE LOVE YOU JL”

Another one from the collection inspired by Saturday nights excellent Song Bird rockumentary

Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night

This is the 1987 release from the band and the one released just before Buckingham left the fold for the first time.
This is on original vinyl and it still amazes me how good a piece of black plastic can sound on a half decent system.

Good Luck - I think you can pick up a CD (as CD only release) of 31:31 for around £175 nowadays.

What we need is Ms Peacock to get off her delectable btm and start a catalogue reissue.

Amon Duul II. Best of 1969 to 99. CD. Was sent this as a freebie when ordering CDs on Amazon. Not played it before. I read that it is some sort of Proggy Kraut Rock. It might take some effort to get to the end.

Archangels Thunderbird… you’ll love it!

They had some great songs, and some noodling tbh but overall: win win!

Ok, I shall play it through and then play Archangel Thunderbird again. Some of it is certainly a bit different.

Patrick Moraz The Story Of i / Virgin / UK CD / 724383954124

This earlier issue sounds much more natural than the 2006 remaster that I have, despite the newer CD having more volume and detail, an opportunity missed.

Brinsley and Co livening up what is now a dull arvo with rhythms harmonies and horns on for me their best album New Chapter. Tuff We Tuff indeed! On CBS vinyl.

Most of the way through my second listen, I think it will get some regular playing. AT is a good track and really enjoyed Nada Moonshine first time through.
