DavidThere’s been a recent but gradual (r)evolution in my musical consumption of late, firstly with the introduction of headphones, but now taken to the next level with the purchase of a dedicated headphone DAC.

DavidI picked up this original 1968 pressing recently as I was aware of it’s apparent legacy as a stone cold Psychedelic classic.

DavidThe big news of the day was the passing of guitar maestro and personal hero, Jeff Beck. I chose not to spend the evening playing his music but did play a couple of tracks earlier in the day.

DavidThis multi-national collective make some of the most magical music I’ve heard in a long time. Another band that is genre-less (a favourite genre of mine) which I’d put firmly in the Broadcast and Stereolab camp.

David1996’s “Walking Wounded” and this, their last record as EBTG, have aged very well indeed. Moving from acoustic folk/pop music to electrified trip hop and dance was a bit of a bold move.
