Katatonia-Dethroned & Uncrowned 2xlp Marillion- Fugazi, quite enjoyed this at first listen so may investigate deeper.

Post by robertr on Feb 7, 2017 16:40:28 GMT 12 It came out 20yrs after her 60s hits, features some songs by The Smiths, who provide backing on at least one track & the whole re-emergence encouraged by Morrissey & Marr. To be truthful, before this, I had never realised she had such vocal pluck & attitude.... Take a listen to a few of these to start the weekend  ....

Post by robertr on Feb 7, 2017 16:43:05 GMT 12As for God don't never change, it is the best 'tribute' type album I have heard. Now playing on vinyl. Not so sure what to make of this, as the originals are just so good.

Post by Owen Y on Feb 9, 2017 12:08:26 GMT 12I've got the Suites by Karajan & Marriner, the latter regarded by Penguin as merely 'servicable', in comparison to Beecham Was listening to this last night - it's an '83 digital recording & it does have a slight 'edge' & lacks a bit of delicacy & extension both ends, but I was shaken by the bass punch (tympanis) in the 'Stormy Evening, P Gynt's Homecoming' in the 2nd Suite finale. EMI/HMV classical, almost always have good sound, I usually prefer them to Philips, Decca or DG.  DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

Yesterday dragged out an old twofer Procal Harum lp on the Fly label of their self titled first release(mono) and Salty Dog. I'm guessing that the 1st lp is a copy of the US release as it does feature THAT song which the UK didn't. The records both looked a bit the worse for wear but gave #1 a quick clean, flipped the mono switch and very surprised that it played through with very little background noise. I can't remember ever buying this particular album and thought it may have been in a pile I rescued from the uncaring hands of my youngest brother but he claims he never owned a copy. There's a UK pound sticker on the cover so it's possible I obtained during my time in London in the mid '70s but I can't member that either. Whatever the source, a pleasant surprise. Followed that up with some Porcupine Tree, In Abstenia.

Saxophonist Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble Officium . Wonderful interplay between Garbarek's soprano and tenor sax and soaring vocals - music to feed the soul

 Post by Owen Y on Feb 13, 2017 19:01:02 GMT 12Hi robertr - I've never heard Garbarek with voices like that, but he's done many non-jazz projects. I have one album, 'Paths, Prints' (which I have yet to grasp) & one with Jarrett's quartet. Cheers. DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

Post by Citroen on Feb 13, 2017 19:41:49 GMT 12However, with the Hilliard, music to feed the soul indeed, even though my vinyl copy isn't the best. I'm hanging out for a vinyl version of Mnemosyne.

Thanks for posting the clip Owen - very interesting.
I came to Mr Garbarek by way of The Hilliard Ensemble, so I don't know too much about his other work. Mnemosyne has a broader range than Officium, which adds some interest. I wonder why ECM has not released it on vinyl - perhaps it did not sell as well as Officium in CD format.
