Bit of modern Canterbury electronica, in that city’s fine tradition of great music.

A Turkish / Middle Eastern vibe going on with this recent Night Dreamer offering. Islandman. Wonderful. Oh, and weirdly it’s a two disc release but the second disc is 45RPM and the first 33.3RPM. Caught me out first time playing it.

Grasscut - Overwinter. This release from 2021 is in an ambient / experimental / new classical vein, but it does have some vocals. Quite a mellow and relaxing listen.

I wonder if Cooper & Hammond of Ultramarine have ever been to Canterbury.

This is one Ra I’ve never heard…must remedy that!

Batman and the Arkestra…can’t wait to hear what happens.

Our collections are just copies…charity and record shops, or landfill.

Sat working in the office and been listening to all sorts today from JRiver playing randomly from computer - decided I wanted something specific so went to my favourite album playing from Qobuz…

It sounds awesome through the DAC v1 and NAIT 50 - I’m in heaven - apart from the work!!!

Tool - Fear Inoculum

That’s what my son said to me the other day - Dad you better rid of all this plastic before you go because I’m not doing it.

I like the idea - just turn the server off.

To my eternal shame as an exiled Leeds lad I’ve only just discovered ATA (All Things Analogue) records.

Great music, well recorded. On vinyl.
