Another spin of this new addition to the collection.
I have the BBA live Japanese import (double vinyl). Played just once to keep it “mint”. I assume this is the same concert. Was lucky to see them live on both their UK tours (Manchester Free Trade Hall and Stretford Hard Rock). I think I still have the ticket stubs somewhere.
Johann Johannsson - Fordlandia. Electronic / modern classical. A sublime piece of music.
Yes it’s the same album - that must have been something seeing BBA live.
Liberty NY mono pressing.
Pharoah Sanders - Pharoah
From 1977 this album is superb with beautiful guitar playing from Tisziji Muñoz.
Streaming but Tone Poet 2LPs on order. Good memories of seeing Lovano and Scofield in a quartet performance in a club, back in the day. Bill Stewart on drums that time, I recall.
For the love of god.
New Order - Technique - 1989
Seems appropriate as I am reading a book about Factory Records at the moment, all those great Peter Saville covers! As he said some years later, ‘I’d moved on from being interested in 80s consumer products and had begun going to Pimlico Road to look at antique shops. Which was where I saw the cherub statue we used on Technique . It was a garden ornament and we rented it for the shoot. It’s a very bacchanalian image, which fitted the moment just before the last financial crash and the new drug-fuelled hedonism involved in the music scene. It’s also my first ironic work: all the previous sleeves were in some way idealistic and utopian.’
Joshua Bell. Lovely imho.
"Named the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields in 2011, he is the only person to hold this post since Sir Neville Marriner formed the orchestra in 1958, and recently renewed his contract through 2023. "
