Not played this for a long old while, and thoroughly enjoying it. First of the Eno produced albums and the band tight as ever.

Anat Cohen (Clarinet, Bass Clarinet), Vitor Goncalve (Piano, Accordion, Fender Rhodes), Tal Mashiach (Bass, Bass Guitar) and James Shipp (Vibraphone, Percussion, Glockenspiel, Analog Synthesizer).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this morning with ‘Quartetinho’ released on October 6th and Anat, Victor, Tal and James are sounding sublime! A very enjoyable album that I keep returning to…

More from the 2011 Immersion box: this time Disc 6, which contains by far the most interesting material: there’s the December '72 mix of DSOTM, some live stuff recorded at Brighton Dome in June '72, and studio demos of “Us and Them”, “The Travel Sequence” (an early guitar-led version of “On The Run”) and Rog’s rather prissy solo demo of “Money”, and something called “The Hard Way” which is a fascinating leftover from the aborted Household Objects album - a piece made using non-musical instruments like rubber bands, aerosols, gravel, bottles and the like.
The December '72 mix of DSOTM is really fascinating. After wrapping up recording of the album just before Christmas that year, the group took the tapes home to listen to them over the holidays and all returned in January feeling that it could be improved. The last-minute decisions they made elevated a very good album into a great one. So, “Speak To Me” is missing, as are all the spoken word segments, the explosion at the end of “OTR” and Clare Torry’s vocals on “Great Gig”; and the mixes of all of what became Side 2 are substantially different from the album we all know and love.
All of this material should have been included in the forthcoming 50 box and why it wasn’t is beyond me.
