Album of the Evening

[DuckToller]

The Lebanese born singer just published a new album, again well produced by John Parish.
Reminds me a lot of Melanie De BIaso, just from her voice, the music seems to bit more airy than eerie ;-)

Stunning re-imagination of NDH's finest, the French female Duo Jatekok on Piano.

I'm not sure anyone here needs to be told what ECM is but if Chris was the person not possessing that knowledge (and I strongly doubt that), I'd just say "it's kinda European 'Three Blind Mice' 😉  maybe a bit more contemplative though".. 

Cheers!

didn't you Know
ECM = Een Clein Muis (one little mouse) 😁

Sorry, perhaps a stupid question,

Your posting suggests a tangible format? No download?

Yet one more after Blue Note tribute to L. Cohen, this time more ..classical in style.

Streaming mp3 fragments and as much as I love the former recording (I think it's one of very few interesting albums with LC covers), I don't know what to think of this one (but I have a problem with classical singing, especially with male vocalists so maybe you need to check it out for yourself..).

 

How did you get that?

I heard them playing this material live (with amazing commitment) in Amsterdam in 1991. I spent there summer holidays with my ex GF and I also decided to give a lift to A'dam to a friend of a friend and that is how for the first (and fortunately the last) time ever I had a chance to meet someone using the same socks without washing them for 4 days (we were staying in a tent) 😎

 

 

Edit: just phoned my ex (it's 11pm..) she claims that might even have been a washing free week on his side.. 😁

The ❤️ for Tom Cora's music.

COPPERFIELD by Phillip Boa And The Voodoo Club. 1988.

Still Deutschmark (DM) then ;-)

I regard this record as a reference work for the producer John Leckie.

DISCOGS buy just arrived in time for this cold & rainy evening.

I own the vinyl, too.

The friday entry of my little Minnesotan week is amazing & kinda hard ... we're back to Minneapolis
the bad plus – it’s hard

[DuckToller]

Everybody's working for the weekend.
It's Saturday in Minnesota and the young Bob Mould, who attended Macalester College in St. Paul, met Grant Hart in a record shop one block away and they founded Hüsker Dü together with Greg Norton.
Here is his Workbook, which he published one year after the band broke up, back in 1988, while  he lived & worked in Pine House, Minnesota.
On a sidenote: It's funny that 5 of the 9 records have joined my vinyl collection in the year of publishing, without me having any other connection to Minnesota than listening to music from it's artists ...
Bob Mould - Workbook

[DuckToller]

On the final Sunday of the Minnesotan week I like to present what's may be one of the greatest albums that came from Minneapolis – ever!
I still have a couple of albums from Prince, however, I never found him more personal (in my taste) than on “Sign o' the Times”. I return often to this record - and it’s for me in the Champions League of the greatest albums ever made.

Prince - Sign o' the Times”

So.. this is what the day of (literally this time) sick audiophile looked like..

 

The whole Bremen, half of Lozanne.

 

 

Here the audiophile fell asleep near the end of the album.

 

 

Didn't fall asleep this time.

 

 

I'm afraid this might not be the end..

Maybe some Baroque.?

 

Edit:

First listen.

 

Get well soon, Pele!
