Just wanted to give a shout out to all folks on this listening thread.
I’ve had a couple of difficult months (no need to go into details) but now resolved - well, mainly.
In my more miserable moments, of which there were many, I’d spin my discs while reading about what others were listening to across continents, inspired at the suggestions and impressed by the knowledge displayed (while chuckling at some of the heated exchanges elsewhere on the forum). Helped me enormously during some dark times.
Don’t know who you guys are are, but we are kindred spirits.
Wondering what the remixed ‘Rubber Soul’ tracks on the 2023 ‘Red’ album, mentioned earlier in the thread, sound like - and whether I ought to take the plunge.
Roon decided to suggest some tracks of theirs recently. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to hear what the future sounded like to 1981. Thanks to Roon I also learned that Roger Tailor was the drummer on this debut album! Despite being overplayed and over exposed at the time, it holds up decently 42 years later.
Manu Katché (Drums), Mathias Eick (Trumpet), Trygve Seim (Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone), Marcin Wasilewski (Piano), Slawomir Kurkiewicz (Double-Bass) and David Torn (Guitar).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… returning from my second hike of the day and returning to another album from Manu, and along with his fabulous and talented sextet, they are sounding mighty sweet! …one fine album.
