Various Artists - Morning Of The Earth Reimagined (2014)

This is the reimagined version of the wonderful “Morning Of The Earth” original soundtrack which I raved about a couple of weeks ago.

Al Di Meola - Splendido Hotel (1979)

It was Al’s birthday yesterday so thought I’d get into some Di Meola magic this afternoon. While this recording shows it’s age (the keyboards especially sound dated) it’s still a great record to show off his versatility.

Joy Division - Closer (1980)

On Vinyl I felt compelled to play this tonight. The impact is never less than profound.

Los Lobos - The Town And The City (2006)

The first thing that struck me was the bottom end coming out of my speakers. What a great sound. It’s pitiful I know, but this is my only Los Lobos record and I am ashamed!

The Velvet Underground - Loaded (1970)

My god! “Who loves the Sun” is such a lovely song to start VU’s final “real” record. All this talk about VU selling out doesn’t matter in the scheme of things - it’s still a beautiful thing.

Opeth - Watershed (2008)

You can’t be a passive listener with this! It can lull you into your happy place one moment then punch you in the temporal lobe when you are all nice and cosy.

Tangerine Dream - Rubycon (1975)

Spooky, Eerie and unsettling, this electronic sculpture makes you keep looking over your shoulder as I certainly did as a mid-teen musical sponge.

PJ Harvey - The Hope Six Demolition Project (2016)

Vinyl Saw this at TWH for only 6 bucks more than the CD - so couldn’t resist. Sometimes its hard to understand why something as well packaged as this, gatefold and poster included, could be considerably cheaper than the latest Pink Floyd vinyl remasters.

Deep Purple - Machine Head (1972)

Vinyl Listened to a 24 Bit digital remaster of this classic this morning on my Sunday morning sabbatical and was totally gob-smacked how good this is.
