Streaming on Qobuz (192/24)… kicking off this morning with Mark’s latest release, April 11th, and he and the band are sounding mighty sweet!
The live version of My Immortal from the O2 gig, on the 20th Anniversary Edition of Fallen is a very powerful version.
Evokes an emotional response from me every time I hear it. The next hearing is coming up in just 2 tracks time…
Really haven’t been feeling music for a few weeks now, lots of work, travel etc and whilst it’s usually a great escape, occasionally find just caught in a loop where nothing hits the spot.
Anyway, couple of days off and a few next week and enjoying the sun with some tunes from A Tribe Called Quest, People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rythm, will be followed by We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 your service.
Cooled off significantly here with the appearance of a firm breeze from the north.
As a result I have returned to the Cabin to finish off my session before cooking.
