Cheers BC (in the voice of a character from Top Cat, cant remember which)
I’ve really been enjoying a first listen in the cab today to the new Binker n Moses- Feed The Machine, see what you think

Actually streaming B&M as I read your post. The electronics adds layers without losing their trademark propulsion. I imagine the Gearbox vinyl will be up to its usual high standard.

Were often on the same wavelength I think. Your comment on the electronics chimes with mine
I still highly rate their debut Dem Ones, AAA cut on a vintage Scully lathe and their other Gearbox label albums Alive In The East, Journey To The Mountain Of Forever and their respective solo albums Moses Boyd Exodus, Binker Golding - Abstractions of Reality Past And Incredible Feathers 
none of which seem to find much love on this forum.
Anyway cab parked up and back home, now streaming a Tidal Master of Blue Lab Beats, enjoying it even more without my cabs LoFi conditions. Probably order vinyl on Monday

Lo Moon’s latest turned up today…have listened to the stream a few times and its not as an immediate liking to me as their first album so hopefully a grower.
Went on a bit of a buying spree to feed the Solstice some new material (all new and on 180g vinyl):
Nick cave & the Bad Seeds - B-sides & rarities Part II
The Stranglers - Peaches
Lou Reed - The Twilight Reeling
The Dandy Warhols - The Dandy Warhols Come Down
Weezer - ok human
Cage the Elephant - Unpeeled
Cage the Elephant - Tell Me I’m Pretty
Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room
And for good measure, a couple of used LPs:
The Jam - Beat Surrender
and finally
Clockwork Orange (original Movie soundtrack)

A relaxing Saturday morning with the new Tears for Fears LP - ‘The Tipping Point’. First listen, and I’m impressed so far…

Malia - The Garden of Eve: somewhere between Soul, Pop and Jazz, and one of the greatest singers IMO, plus the first coloured vinyl with a good pressing I have listened to🙏
The Meters: just a legend. I have been waiting for months. The reward is a fine pressing and a great SQ.

How’s the pressing sound quality? Can’t decide on the minty green or pinky pink version!
All good on that front. Had no idea what colour the vinyl was until I opened it. Not sure I’d have opted for the green to be honest.

McCoy Tyner & Freddie Hubbard Quartet - Live at Fabrik, Hamburg 1986, Jazzline (2022) pre order
I’ve listened to parts of this NDR recording on youtube and the music is exceptional so this 3xLP box set is a very welcome release lets hope the pressing is up to scratch.

Charlie Gabriel - Eighty Nine, Preservation Hall. (2022). pre order
This is the first music I’ve ever heard from this New Orleans Sax player and he is 89 years old just shows the huge holes in my musical knowledge.
And your trousers!
I’m pretty sure that would have been said by Benny.

My copy of that had quite a few rings of no fill on track 1, which sounded dreadful. Juno records are very kindly sending me a replacement. It’s rather irritating, and a bit pathetic really, that these limited albums seem also to have limited quality control. It can’t be that hard to press a record properly.
