Recently purchased two Supertramp albums, both remastered, 'Crime of the Century' and 'Breakfast In America'.

The latter sent particular shivers through me, having bought it 30 odd years ago.

I am a dreadful 70s throwback . . .

I remember listening to "Breakfast in America" on the radio while getting ready for school. A few years later I had a copy recorded from an LP from the local library (remember them ?) Only got a compilation CD now

Just been listening to Zoe Keating playing at the WEF in Davos.

Just collected Hunky Dory and Ziggy 2012 remasters from my local Sainsbury's for a fiver each. I normally try to resist buying things that I already have on vinyl but at that price it seemed churlish not to take advantage.

HD is playing right now

Steely Dan - Gaucho

On headphones, is there any other way to listen to Steely Dan ?
The production is something else.

Pitchshifter - www.pitchshifter.com It's an oldy, but a goody. My biggest regret, from our days living in Northampton, is that I never got to see them play live on home ground...

Trev Gibb. I think I actually like him quite a lot. He's clever and he makes a nice noise.

I totally love Steely Dan, and it's a toss-up between Gaucho and The Royal Scam for my favourite album. Fagen's solo album The Nightfly is also pure production genius.

Postmodern Jukebox. Some of it works really well, other bits are a bit contrived or need a bit more careful arranging.

I looked after an abandoned/forgotten case I found at Shrewsbury Festival for half an hour, hoping the owner would return before I finished my meal. It turned out to be BBTP's box of CDs-for-sale, much to the relief of the gent who reclaimed it, and I was rewarded with a free copy of their disc.

The Drive by Truckers

Sometimes funny and often dark. Have been described as Southern Gothic.

"When the pin hits the shell" is a particularly dark example.

Me and you, we liked our pills
And our whiskey
But you don't want your head full of either one
When the house gets quiet and dark
...
And the same God you were so afraid
Was gonna send you to Hell
Is the same one you're gonna answer to
When the pin hits the shell

I've heard bits of this and it is indeed good. You may also therefore like my current choice - Yndi Halda's 2nd album Under Summer. A little different to their first effort some 10 years ago but every bit as good. Classic "post rock" with added violin.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #4898 on:** 12 April, 2016, 04:06:32 pm »

The Wilderness appears to have - gasp - keyboards on it

I'll keep an eye out for Yndi Halda; sounds interesting.
