This could be my all time favourite album… but at the cost of being one of those memory-impression albums that can instantly transport oneself back almost the half century ago to a different worldly time of intense emotions and teenage angst :neutral_face:

I’ve not heard any of the tracks in advance of the albums release but it’s fair to say it’ll be the first thing I listen to as soon as it appears on Qobuz.

Strangeitude is just a fantastic album. I may have to dig out my slightly battered vinyl later today

This is a fabulous new recording, released last month, of Bach’s Cello Suites 1 and 2, bookended with pieces by Hume and Abel. The cello sound is wonderful.

Daryl Hall John Oates - Ooh Yeah!, first play, as I bought this today for the princely sum of 50p. Wow, it seems they have thrown every known '80’s recording technique at this. Unmistakenly Hall & Oates though.

I’ve heard Love insurrection and Deep Dark Waters, which I think are pretty good :+1:

This providing an excellent backdrop as a fiery Thai curry nears lift-off, phew.
