You guys with the RAALs should listen to this album.

 

 

This is definitely a great sounding, well recorded album. The type of music is simply not my cup of tea.

More Mahler 10, this time focused on the Clinton Carpenter completion version.

More scantily clad women, but Jill Barber is so talented.

Purchased this new favorite today as part of the Chesky "May Sale".  Heartbreakingly lovely...so beautiful!

Great! Back in 1998, I played it up and down every day - and the other two albums of her as well.

[One and a half]

Louise Patricia Crane - Deep Blue (2020) - Bandcamp (released May 15)

 

The soundscape of this album is vast and leads your imagination to a voyage of discovery. Subtle influences such as Ian Anderson's Flute , Kate Bush's 'Sensual World' bells, and King Krimson musos, just keep adding to the polish this record that already has a solid footing of intelligent composition.

"Louise's expansive musical and artistic influences - from guitar-driven '70s progressive rock and blues, the baroque sounds of '80s avant-garde dream pop - to rich, lyrical imagery drawn from literature, surrealist horror films of the '60s and '70s, tragic historical seductresses and dreamlike themes of escapism."

 

Favourite track (so far) is the last one, The Eve Of The Hunter, with all the others stepping stones. Recording quality is a DR9, makes the most of stage width. I haven't listened enough on speakers for height, would say above average for its peers.

Haven’t listened to the Rosary Sonatas for years; forgot  just how wonderful this music is

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
