Ozric Tentacles: Lotus Unfolding
I struggled with this for a few minutes until I realized it needed to be substantially louder - much better!

Totally concur with your comments as I have often thought that about that album by Diana and her other albums like Live In Paris.
I have concluded its the mastering on alot of our music which is good but when you get a recording like The Girl Next door it makes you realise how recordings are holding our systems back…if that makes sence.
I remember years ago when I had just got some big Magneplaner speakers and playing Temptation and it just blew me away…Diana was in the room singing to me.

Actually, the best track on that album is ‘Woman is the N!gger of the World’ which I first came across on the ‘Shaved Fish’ compilation LP as a teenager - absolutely loved it and still do.
Shamefully removed from the ‘Gimme Some Truth’ compilation reissue LP - refused to purchase it as a result.

I’m seeing the Ozrics in a double bill with the current incarnation of Gong in 2 weeks.

Chuck Berry, From St. Louie to Frisco, 1968.
Because for reasons I really don’t understand, after a Bob Dylan CD I many times end in Chuck Berry.

Joni Mitchell Live at Newport 2022 - Original vinyl
Brandi Carlile announced a set at the ‘22 Newport Folk Festival where she and friends would recreate a “Joni Jam”, musicians hanging out at Joni Mitchell’s place and playing music. Incredibly Joni herself gave pretty much her first public appearance since a brain aneurysm in 2015 nearly took her away from us. She and her friends then gave a set of some of her greatest songs, Carlile and Lewis Mumford taking some of the vocal leads when needed. It’s not the Joni of Shadows and Light, the voice is significantly deeper, and she needs support, but to see one of my favourite poets of the 20th century able to sing again and from the sound of it loving every moment of it is a joy. Musically it’s pretty damn good.

Obvious, hackneyed old reliable but I’m testing a slightly refined HAF DSP filter and side 2 of this has never sounded so good.
