Erasure - The Circus. On vinyl, my new stylus arrived in the post this morning. So having a bit of a vinyl listening day.

Craig:

Just listening to the remastered version of Tubular Bells. 

I was living in Cambridge as a student and wasn't able to bring too much in the way of a music collection.  I bought a cheap cassette walkman and Tubular Bells on tape and it kept my brain working almost every day during my bike rides on those unbelievably cold UK mornings.

Is the remaster worth it?

Listening to RadioDead.com all GD all the time on internet radio thru an odd concoction of speakers and amps but I like the sound anyways.

Never compared the Remastered CD to the normal CD, the other copy I have is the original on VInyl. It does come with a very good book that tells you the story of the album.

Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" is back on repeat in my CD50 (after quite an absense) - brought on by the track (4) "Which Will" being used in the current BT advert on UK TV.

I'd almost forgot just how very (very) good an album it is!

That's twice you have spelled  'absence' incorrectly!
Perhaps you think it is actually spelled with an 's'!

Just listened to one of the, if not the best ever trance tracks. Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar(Michael Woods Remix) On 12" vinyl of course. What a way to start a Sunday morning.

I'm listening to my last purchase: Official Secrets Act: Momentary Sanctuary from the album Understanding Electricity. Good stuff.

Listening to a Francoise Hardy cover of the Patsy Cline classic " When I get thru With You".

Now: Declan McManus

Before: Roby Lakatos

Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamond 

On original issue vinyl on beogram 5500.  Fits my mood this morning perfectly.

Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball. I've had the album for 14 years now, but this is the first time I've heard them with my Lab 3's. Brilliant.

The CDX is handling the Gasolin' boxset which came out a few years ago.

So far I'm at cd number 4 called: Stakkels Jim

The WHO, Baba O'riley.

A compliation of performances by the band Stereolab for the BBC on Radio 1 back during the 1990's.

The Planets, a 1979 recording of the London Philharmonic Ochestra. Conducted by Sir George Solti.

The Sons: Kids With Knives

Listening to Quadrophenia, also by the Who

Bat For Lashes: Daniel

Can't get enough of this.

Eurovision song contest

White Bird - It's a Beautiful Day from the album It's a Beautiful Day.

Eurovision song contest

I think that would have made me look like this:

I'm listening to Lukas Sherfey right now, a danish singer-songwriter with an exceptional voice. His album is called Soul Vacation.

More oldies Danish Rock'n'roll

Shu-Bi-Dua 3rd record

From 76-77 or something.

I'm alternating between Marillion's fantastic Misplaced Childhood album and Mark Padmore's Handel Arias.

The Dohl Foundation - on my who's on at this years Shrewsbury Folk Festival Playlist, via spotify, through Avant/Lab6000/Lab4000 system, in speaker 5 mode (! )

Whilst ironing.

Surprisingly good for streamed content - given the 10m interconnect from PC to Avant was about £2 !!  Must order one from Steve @ Sounds Heavenly one day soon.
