MyCDlist, the body of your recommendations along with several other posters including curmudgeon (thank you many times) has put me in touch with music I have loved from childhood but only now have included in my collection.

My guests last night asked for the playlist which included the following:

Eric Bibb: Troubadour Live XLD conversion redbook CD to AIFF. Excellent SQ!

Daniel Mille: entre chien et loup XLD...!

Dee Dee Bridgewater: Live At Yoshi's XLD...!

George Harrison: Living In The Material World CD/DVD CD Disc1 XLD...!

 

Their pleasure was mine!

 

Enjoy the music,

Richard

Thanks for exposing me to Manu Katché. I went in search of Neighbourhood and other albums on MOG and ended up ordering his 2010 recording, Third Round, which I can hardly wait to hear offline on my main system (sounded quite good on MOG, nevertheless).

nice to hear you like the music of Manu Katché. I listen to all 3 of his records. All records are different (combination of sax and trumpet).

I will continue mention more of my CD's

In Holland we are not alowed to listen to MOG. I use Spotify but they don't stream the ECM artists

As I continue to listen to Manu on MOG, I will almost certainly be buying ALL of his recordings; they are just great.

 

And, as an aside, CA user crisnee is right -- using the "secret" H button (that pops up from the lower left corner on the MOG screen, at least on my Chrome browser) really does make a difference!

Massive Attack - Heligoland

Am MOG'ing Heligoland right now, as Massive Attack kind of fell off my radar (why? I dunno; too much music, too little time?) after their late 90s Mezzanine, an old favorite, especially with its tracks featuring the fabulous, imho, Elizabeth Fraser (reminding me that I will have to do some Cocteau Twins for an Album of the Evening stint sometime). Massive Attack may be something of an acquired taste for some people, but they always have gripped me, and I am pretty okay with what I am hearing on MOG so far! Thanks!

Wilco is a brilliant band.

 

If you like their more recent sound, check out some solo work by Nels Cline!

 

(that said, Summerteeth - before Nels - is a desert island disk for me)
