Classic late 60s psych rock with a jazzy tinge from the mighty Spirit The Family That Plays Together. Blowing a hoolie outside and in, magnificent! Never understood why they weren’t massive - probably couldn’t be pigeonholed. On floppy 70s UK CBS reissue vinyl.

Well Xmas in Scotland is over another year has passed….and we are back home!
And then the heavens opened again - flood warnings - local stream up to 1.38 (floods start in the village at 0.95) - system broken up and on its way upstairs!
2 hours later….
Rain stopped - river levels down - bugger it I need some music - system back together……
Genesis - Wind & Wuthering

An outstanding live recording. Hope it will be the subject of a full blown bootleg series release.

Tom Waits - Mule Variations
A Christmas present from my sister. I’ve got a few of his albums but this is considered by many to be right up there among his best, from what I have read. I’m certainly loving it.

I thought I was the only person to own this album. Took me a while to find it but well worth it.

Many years ago I found in one of those discount bookshops that frequented the high street I came across a book by Craig Heller entitled From Metal to Mozart.
In it he charts his year long quest to discover classical music by fully immersing himself in it to the exclusion of all other types of music (not something I’d advocate personally) one of the appendices is his list of “if you like X (insert non classical band try Y composer/work.
Eg using your earlier WAYLT posts
Peter Gabriel then Mr Heller suggests Brandenberg Concerto’s.
For LZ try Beethoven 5th Symphony / Holst The Planets or Carl Off.
Might be worth digging out a copy several on that well known auction site.
Ryder - Regarding versions in reality all ‘classical’ music pre 1920ish are cover version as they’re aren’t any recording of Bach playing Bach so who. Knows what the original sounded like.
Give classical music ago as I say when someone ask me what music I like I say anything form Mozart to Metallica
