Original Contemporary LP. Still looking as pristine as the day I bought it new circa 1980.

Their live performances and registrations are great! Anesthetize is stellar, too. Has a great rendition of Half-Light. That guitar solo ends WAY too quickly!

Happy to hear you’re enjoying your time with SW and PT so far :slight_smile:

Pat Metheny - Dream Box

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… returning home after coffee with friends and put together a bowl of bannas, blueberries and yogort and kicking of this morning with Pat’s Dream Box album and he is sounding sublime! A very relaxing and smooth opening track…

Kadavar | Berlin | 2015
I was in the mood for some hard psychedelic rock, so I pulled these boys out of the library. Always good stuff from this band describing themselves as German Hard / Psychedelic / Proto Rock. They certainly do what they say…

Mahavishnu Orchestra, live. Radio broadcast from 1973. Unofficial release.
Sound quality is not the best, but doesn’t obstruct a killer performance.
Power, grace and swing in spades…

Mogwai | Come On Die Young | 1999
I can’t stay away from Mogwai’s post rock (as they describe it) for very long, so out comes one of my favourites and of course it turns 35 his year, where do the years go?!

Thanks Boekster

First impressions I thought their lighting was really considered and accompanied the music nicely
The standard of musicianship was fabulous
They were really progressive in the way they doing a song that was going to new places if you like.
Great stuff and definitely going to play more Sreve Wilson and Porcupine Tree
Thanks for the recommendations.
Cheers Ian
