Simon

 

One of my favourites

Currently listening to Babylon Breaks by Ed Solo & Skool of Thought. Just bought the album 'Random Acts of Kindness' today - absolutely brilliant...

I'm listening to "The Bad Plus - These Are The Vistas" now. Henry, I'm sure you would enjoy that one! (If you don't already know it)

No I don't know it Tom, but I've written it down because I will be at the music store later today.

Currently listening to Aja by Steely Dan. Was listening to this on BeoLab 9s yesterday, and it sounded absolutely stunning. Now it just sounds rubbish on my B&Ws at home!

Chet Baker (jazz trumpeter) live in 1986 at Ronnie Scott's. Recorded from Sky Arts.
Nice bit of jazz for a change.

Andy T.

Anyone heard of Rodrigo & Gabriel? It was playing in HMV yesterday, but they were out of stock. Tom, I also had a look for These Are The Vistas, but couldn't find any of their records either.

These are the Vistas is the name of their first album. The band's name is The Bad Plus 

okay I'll try again next time, but mentioning These Are The Vistas to the assistant didn't ring any bells.

Andy, have you been to Ronnie Scott's?

Tom, have you heard of a German group called Albi's Corner?

Henry:

Andy, have you been to Ronnie Scott's?

No mate, but I would like to. Have you?

Henry:

Tom, have you heard of a German group called Albi's Corner?

not yet, but I will look for it! Thanks!  

Listening to The Cinematic Orchestra - All That You Give (feat. Fontella Bass). Brilliant! Been listening to Ma Fleur a lot recently, which I rate very very highly...

The Cinematic Orchestra is one of the best bands that has come to my ears during the last year. A friend of mine heard them as an opener to Gonzales in Nancy (Nancy Jazz Pulsations) in 11/07 and gave me the tip. Really excellent stuff! 

At the risk of having my membership revoked:

Daft Punk: Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger

They really are a superb group, and excellent musicians live as well...

Nothing wrong with Daft Punk at all. I use it to keep my neighbours in line...

Something completely different over here: Country falls from Husky Rescue.

Either the cdx or the Beogram 8002.

Just got the cdx back from Dillen on saturday so I'm testing it.

It sounds good but Master of puppets by Metallica sounds better on vinyl.

Using the timer on the Beomaster 6000 the Beogram woke me up today with side a of Shubidua 7. a Danish band.

Listening to Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals. Great song, very energetic and positive : )

Dark Days - Fat Freddy's Drop. Based on a True Story is one of my desert island albums...

As you regulars know I recently picked up a bucket full of vintage B&O on ebay. I'm sat here testing out a few bits & pieces with some Pink Floyd. Currently I have Wish You Were Here on vinyl playing merrily on a superb Beocenter 7700 (with MMC4) via a pair of Beovox MC120.2.s and I have to say I'm very very impressed!

For anyone as yet convinced this vintage equipment is absolutely fantastic and totally addictive. Just the sheer weight & build quality gives you a jaw dropping buzz and getting the non-working ones back into service is an addiction - just ask jandyt or Craig if you don't believe me.

It's gonna be hard parting with this little lot but SWMBO wants her dining table back

Saw them live at Cambridge - very good.  They also supported Muse at Wembley last summer.

Currently playing Chris Wood - Trespasser - on ltd 3 x vinyl ( new last week - LP's are forever ! ) , via Beogram 7000 - stunning.

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. Listening to downloaded copy on my PC at the moment although I do have the original on vinyl.

Craig - Do you know Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by the late great Rory Gallagher - from his early 70's album, Blueprint ?

not too similar to the Maiden song - but one of my all time favourites - heard it on tape in a scout tent in Whitby when I was 11 - hooked ever since...7quid for cd in Fopp - recommended.
