Random choice from the Qobuz new release section. Barry Can’t Swim - When Will We Land. Jazz-house is the most common tag. Nice electronica with a higher tempo. Enjoying it.

I’m now enjoying this very much. A recommendation in Jazzwise this month. Brazilian infused with modern flourishes. Very good.

Greetings Charles, I didnt recognise at first, you changed avatar.
Glad to hear it sold well, it is a genuinely legendary recording.
This is also good, also re issued by Soul Jazz
Cedric Im Brooks- Light Of Saba
Was issued by Honest Johns but currently out of print (Discogs or maybe still available to stream)
Almost anything by Ras Michael with Sons Of Negus and his debut under the alias Dadawh (also currently oop but probably can be had for reasonable money on Discogs)
The above has been further re issued by Greensleeves in expanded form on CD/Digital and well worth checking even if you have the original vinyl or CD issue.

Mrs Dread just told me that Brinsley Forde turned 70 a few days ago on the 16th.
So a belated Happy Earthday Brinsley and celebrating with a blast of my favourite Aswad LP from 1981
Showcase (Island/Grove Muzic)
Brinsley toasting over Warrior Charge with the late great mighty Jah Shaka Sound from the essential film Babylon…Lion!
Some members might remember Saturday morning picture shows and kids TV…
Big up Brinsley

Mozart by The OrpheusChamber Orchestra.
I would play the CD, but my PS One is sick (skipping) and the company I’ve ordered the new mech from say it’s got lost in the postal service.
Another 2-6 week wait or a refund…
Seriously considering a new CD/T at the moment🫣

I was/am a late comer to Nick Cave, my entree being Push The Sky Away and as you say the brilliant Live at KCRW along with the first Grinderman albums. Ghosteen though I cant bare to hear, I only played it once or twice

Level 42 The Pursuit Of Accidents / 2015 Polydor / Netherlands CD / 5363747
From the 5 Classic Albums Box Set, this brings back a few memories, particularly of when my music buddy got us backstage to meet the band at a couple of gigs. I do need to omit the last track here though, as it was never a favourite!

I think Ghosteen, Idiot Player and Skeleton Tree are albums best listened to late at night when you’re in a more reflective mood.
Have to a listen to some of his very early stuff like The Birthday Party’s Junkyard or Tender Prey with The Bad Seeds. I think they’ll be more to your liking, Oliver.
