Sylvan Esso - Free Love
CD rip | 2020
Gogo Penguin.
Had this on repeat over the weekend. Stunningly good.
They seem to be carrying on where E.S.T. left off (sadly ended too soon)
Bowes and Morley. 2002 CD. Excellent album released when Thunder was being rested. A bit less Rock, a bit more Soul.
The harpist Catrin Finch and kora player Seckou Keita have released two albums previously. This one, to be released at the end of May, completes the trilogy, and very lovely it is.
Something a little different from this morning’s listening.

Just listening to this old thing again - it came on the other day on random - bloody hell @anon4489532 that NAPSC is amazing the difference is the old Cliché night & day - where’s my HiCap Mr Postie?
Added photo so you’d know what the old thing was - and I’m still waiting postie
I’m still feeling ropey on day 9 of Covid, hopefully this will cheer me up. It’s such a happy sounding record.

The Stones rolling sensationally on SACD. These Stones discs are sooo good.
