HDCD, starting off with disc 1. Recording sounds off to start with (mics). Will see if that improves.

I bought this back ‘in period’ but it didn’t quite do it for me. With the perspective of middle age and years, today it feels more like a companion album to ‘A Trick of the Tail’ and ‘Wind and Wuthering’ and I suppose with Rutherford and Collins playing on it as well as Hackett, I shouldn’t be surprised.

Never been a great fan of the Gallagher brothers but rather enjoying the raw, genuine rock and roll energy of this streaming on Qobuz.

Jimmy Page - Robert Plant - Unledded.

Just for a change, I’m watching / listening to the Blu-ray rather than playing the album.

Belter!

Bobo Stenson Trio - Sphere

Bobo Stenson (Piano), Anders Jormin (Double Bass) and Jon Fält (Drums).

Streaming on Qobuy (96/24)… returning home from a hospital visit to see a friend and turning to an album I recently played. Some relaxing music while having a bite to eat before heading out to gym. A busy Saturday for this old man… Bobo released the album this past March during the year of his 78th birthday, and Bobo, Anders and Jon are sounding sublime! A lovely album for some midday relaxation before picking up the pace once again…. Life is Sweet!

Last year’s Pursuit of Ends was excellent (Amazon have the CD on offer for the price of a pint just now I see). Days In The Desert is equally good.

An always interesting exploration ranging through free jazz, rock-solid rhythms, string quartet and bluesy songs (I love their main singer, Mariam Wallentin - joined on this album by complementary singer Sofia Jernberg, who is great also). It’s superbly recorded to boot, plus there’s a beautiful version of my favourite Chic song At Last I Am Free - what’s not to love?

Awaiting delivery of their latest, Echoes. Going to be good.

Ok I am buying this sight unseen the Chic cover and an @steviebee recommendation are good enough for me.

You fool! I only put up albums I loathe…:laughing:

Not.

Hope you like it as much as I do, Andy :crossed_fingers:

They remind me at times a little of that great long-gone outfit, The Pharoahs if you know them: Damballa; Awakening; In The Basement…

Similar groove on some tracks.

Listening to…

Quite a ‘grown-up’ latest offering from Birdy that whilst a bold and confident evolution from her (stunning) earlier work might (for me) require a few plays to truly make their mark.

A more ‘poppy’ (than her previous albums) release memorable/catchy toons include ‘Paradise Calling’ and ‘Raincatchers’.

‘Your Arms’ is a return to her trademark angelic style and is beautifully delivered imho.

Oddly Qobuz are listing this most recent album with release date (18/8) almost a week ahead!(?). However, just realised that just four of the eleven tracks on the album are playable as of today. Very promising latest release, I hope to re-visit and give it a full ‘spin’ next Friday…
