Bit of Portico Quartet. Part of my slow musical education, Jazz syllabus. Gentle introduction after a lifetime of rock, electronic, house, techno, funk, and hip hop.
Before long I’ll be posting about rare Jazz reissues on the vinyl buying thread 8)

Wedding Cake Island off Bird Noises is brilliant instrumental.

Just ordered the Oil’s box set - albeit on vinyl. Hopefully will arrive ahead of a birthday next week. These cover pics have me excited - I possess the albums on poor quality CD - so really looking forward to discover them all again, including the brilliant ‘Wedding Cake Island’ instrumental.
A pic I took of the Oil’s in 2017 at the Hammersmith Odeon, London…

I’m jealous, I’ve struggled to find the remastered gold CDs and still looking for 10-1 and Diesel and Dust arguably their best albums. Found these at local chain store snd were only $10 each.
Love to know how the vinyl sounds good luck with the delivery.

Terrific reading by Furtwangler’s post war live recording. Digital remastering engineer at Abbey Road did a terrific job there is no break up or distortion at tutti. Comparatively Suzuki’s reading sounds frivolous, out of tune and empty. There are so many subtle ( and not too subtle ( things Furty does to make this set one of the most memorable and awe-inspiring Beethoven 9th Symphony. I thought that generally post-war performance / recording of Furty are weak compared to the war era with Berliner but this set still has the power to move.
