Mary Coughlan & Erik Visser - Scars on the Calendar
Ordered from her website after seeing her live a few weeks ago, arrived today, signed on the back of the case, and sweetly the Jiffy bag it came in had a heart drawn on it with the same red marker she’d signed the album with.
The Orb - The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Underworld
Not my normal listen, bought on friend’s recommendation. I have to say I rather like it! My kids will never let me live this one down. I’ve actually got the Deluxe 3 Disc version, with the John Peel sessions. Very good indeed. I’m an ambient convert!
Graham Parker - Squeezing Out Sparks 40th Anniversary acoustic. One of the great pub rock albums, revisited by the singer/writer 40 years on, I saw him last year and it was one of my gigs of the year, really looking forward to this.
Dexter Gordon - Espace Cardin 1977
András Schiff, Schubert, Sonatas and Impromtus.
Second in ECM’s Schiff and Schubert series. Another smartly presented card digipack, so much better than the standard boring ECM package of jewel case inside a card sleeve.
Likely to be one of the classical albums of the year.
