Some nice Beethoven before work comes calling

T.Rex. Remixes.
Was a big Tyrannosaurus Rex fan which extended into T.Rex up to and including Tanx.
Not played this since I bought it in 2017 but sounding very good this morning.
In fairness my system is considerably better than it was back then and has brought it to life.
Cd rip
I saw Bob at Liverpool Empire in 66 and it was the musical highlight of my life. Wasn’t really interested in the first half but when he plugged in and the dinosaurs left it was incredible.
This may not officially be released until Friday, but mine arrived today.

Dream Theater: Parasomnia on Vinyl
Alternative album art for the Deluxe Box Set Edition
One of the very rare times I can say that I was actually at one of those gigs…or at least one of the four nights. Very special night. The last night, the 4th was released on vinyl only through amazon I think.
Enjoying this one a lot following a mention by @Rigsby21 yesterday.
Felt that I could only follow the new album with some LIVE DT.
Would have stayed with my Vinyl copy, but as this is the last day the Linn DSM is here on Demo it seemed a shame to waste it…
Dream Theater: Distant Memories - Live in London ( Hammersmith Apollo 2020)
Great recording of a concert I should have been at…

Ibrahim Maalouf: Trumpets of Michel Ange
This popped up on Tidal’s “daily discovery”.
“Maalouf was a Francophone phenomenon even before Quincy Jones’ regal blessing and a Grammy-nominated album with Angélique Kidjo, drawing on his Lebanese heritage and instinct for integration to become a beloved public figure, helping to salve the wounds of war and collaborating with rock and rap stars, as well as Jon Batiste and Wynton Marsalis.
His 15th album is a raw, immediate manifesto for the quarter-tone trumpet, an instrument invented by his father Nassim Maalouf, a renowned classical trumpeter who added a fourth valve to allow Arabic maqamat (improvised melodic modes), slipping half-sharps and flats between Western scales. Ibrahim has popularised Nassim’s creation, and here leads a battery of the instruments in often exultant call and response, bolstered by star guests Trombone Shorty and the late kora master Toumani Diabaté.” Ibrahim Maalouf: Trumpets of Michel Ange
