Uncovered Queens Of The Stone Age
At some point I perhaps should hear the QOTSA originals of the songs but with versions this seductive and subtle, I’m afraid of disappointment.

It’s A Wonderful World - Spike Robinson/Roy Williams.
Picked this up today in an antiques shop. Noticed it was “mastered by Kevin Gray”, a fair while before that became a selling point.

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - 1974
I think I know what it is now after many plays, some of the album is a bit too Andrew Lloyd Webber for my liking. Doesn’t have the majesty of Foxtrot etc. … I’ll get my coat …

I’m with you. For some reason I have both vinyl and CD versions and every time I play them I decide that’s the last time for me. I find the albums too long. The good songs I like a lot, but in between there is a lot a don’t care for.
Like you I prefer Foxtrot, NC, ToTT

Been there … the great George Benson in Manchester around 15 years ago. Left all his great guitarwork at home and played karaoki. Shame.

It’s a pity as both George B and BB have done some great stuff and deserve their praise.

It’s an album I would so like to love being a Genesis fan. The fence is too tall alas.
After the ignominy of criticising 'The Lamb… ’ going more modern. Lovely stuff.

Keep at it! Whilst I adore Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Live, TOTT and even Selling England, for me the Lamb is their magnum opus.

Ill Considered - Liminal Space (Tidal)
Continuing to enjoy this and for me one of the best albums that I’ve heard coming from the UK “Jazz” scene recently
I’m thinking its a little like what Sons Of Kemet might have been before they started treading water, due in part I think to Theon Cross’s contribution to this album
Capturing a moment of transformation for the group, Liminal Space not only features a new core line-up of Idris Rahman (saxophone), Liran Donin (bass) and Emre Ramazanoglu (drums), but also sees Ill Considered bounce their live-wire style off a range of collaborators such as Collocutor’s Tamar Osborn, Steam Down saxophonist Ahnanse, tuba player Theon Cross and percussionist Sarathy Korwar.
