Agreed although I’d also add Welcome - McLaughlin’s influence is ‘welcome’ I think.
Agreed, the production on some of his albums is outstanding … … … here’s another favourite of mine.
Mamouna - Bryan Ferry.
More reading about Brian and The Beach Boys, whilst absorbing Vol.3 of Andrew Hickey’s excellent career spanning commentary.
Imagination - Brian Wilson DTS (1998).
I’ll give that one a play thanks.
My renewed interest in the man started after seeing him at Glastonbury in 2014, nudging 70, but what a performer. He went down an absolute storm.

I have an hour or so to myself as Mrs QS, her mother and the dog have walked down the hill into Castleton.
On the 2LP Tone Poet version this time.
Thanks. I didn’t know she had released a new album. Ordered.
Just Finished
Matthew Halsall - An Ever Changing View
Streamed on Qobuz (96/24)… eased into this Saturday morning with Matthew and a beautiful way to start the day!
Lambchop - Is A Woman. The follow up to their masterpiece, Nixon, this is more laid back than Nixon but is still a melancholic delight.
Anouar Brahem Trio - Astrakan Cafe
Anouar Brahem (Oud), Barbaros Erköse (Clarinet) and Lassad Hosni (Bendir, Darbouka).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)…. continuing on this Saturday morning, with Anouar, Barbaros and Lassad and they are they are sounding sublime! It is one beautiful day inside and outside!
Tusk from 1979 up next.
Always found the production of this album a bit ‘off’? Anyone else in the same boat?
Still enjoying finding all these new recordings of Les Quattro Stagioni.
Thank you @dav301 for this one. Most enjoyable…
Anne-Sophie Mutter also recorded a version with the Vienna Philharmonic under HVK, which I am also looking forward to listening to again later this week😊
Paul McCartney - Off The Ground - CD
Always thought this was an underrated album, Macca with Elvis Costello.
