Ian Boddy | Elemental | bandcamp | 16/44.1 | FLAC
…The 8 tracks run in a continuous set merging into each other via ambient cross fades. The first, “Never Forever” and last tracks, “Elemental” have a grandiose, chordal character that nicely bookend the album. Four of the other tracks are strongly rhythmic and include hefty bass lines and intricate percussion overlaid with beguiling and subtle melodic themes. The remaining two tracks are in a more atmospheric, ambient vein and provide aural resting points in what feels like a musical journey. However “Elemental” doesn’t have a spacey feel as found on his last two releases but exudes a more organic, down to earth approach.
released October 1, 2006

Texas band Shearwater covering the entire Bowie album, Lodger - live in the studio (AV Club) in 2016. One of my favourite Bowie albums and a terrific version. Flac 16/44.1 from Bandcamp.

ZZ Top - RAW in 24/96 from Qubuz as it was only £7. Both that and the CD quality download are excellent. This reminds you what a damn good three piece ZZ Top were. I loved watching the three of them just jamming on the documentary and this seems to capture it brilliantly. It’s got that great down and dirty sound, not over produced. Reminds me of the Quad Audio Tres Hombres Blu-ray, which also exposes a similar dirty quality that the CD versions don’t. Well worth it.

[From presto music in CD quality]
Heard it live in the 70’s and it was the first “modern” music I liked.
It’s on a CD with other stuff but not sure if I can post the link.
[Fiser - Czech- wrote a lot of film music]
The piece is about 10mins; CD is 45(?)mins and cost was about £5
