What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

[Graeme]

Hawkwind - Electric Teepee.

[TheKevster]

That this pioneering piece of electronica came out in 1968 is actually pretty shocking…

[AlanP]

Continuing with my Bobfest

Bob Dylan - Shot Of Love.

[SimonDC]

Decided to have an hours chill before retiring for the night

Classic Kraftwerk….
Trans Europe Express - original version

[Neil-26]

Fancied listening to some Jackie Leven, but which album to choose? So many to pick from. Eventually plumped for Creatures of Light & Darkness.

Most of the trax off the up and coming 50th Anniversary edition of the album. Due out 25th.

[Martin.M]

This is rather good!

[TheKevster]

More pioneering electronica, on a Rhino reissue.

[AndyP]

I had to download the Hi Res version of this album despite having the original release and the 30th anniversary CD.

This 50th anniversary Hi Res is a revelation.

Visconti has done a great job. Mick Ronson is spectacular but the star of the show is Trevor Bolder his bass playing is much more audible and shows what great player he was.

Missing are the two Wendy Carlos pieces: intro Beethoven 9th and after the interval the William Tell Overture.

But we do get to hear Jeff Beck at last.

[BertBird]

Staying with the same trio…

[Rafael]

El Camarón de la Isla con la colaboración especial de (with the special collaboration of) Paco de Lucía.

Al verte las flores lloran (When they see you, the flowers weep), 1969.

To finish the week: one of my most treasured CDs.

[Marq]

Revisiting an old friend from the late eighties - first time in a long time.

[Tony]

[Marq]

When I’m gone is one of my all time favourites.

Bob Dylan - Empire Burlesque.

[Martin.M]

One for all The Fall fans

[davidng]

Aimee Mann, queens of the summer hotel.

The cover just doesn’t get any better with time, thankfully the music is wonderful.
