What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Huge fan of Lucinda here.

Me too!

 

Wilco "Sky Blue Sky". Nonesuch/Classic, "Super Vinyl Profile" 200 gram, 33&1/3. A favorite of mine.

 

Rolling Stones, "Sticky Fingers". My original ATCO pressing from way back when I was a young'un.

 

Now, for something completely different, Johann Sebastian Bach, Goldberg-Variationen BWV 988 (Clavierubung IV), Wilhelm Kempff, Piano. An old Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, 33&1/3.

 

After a great meal prepared by my wife, I'm mellowed out tonight. Just finished listening to Jason Isbell, "Southeastern", Southeastern Records, 33&1/3. Now onto "Draw The Line", a nice 2009 double vinyl David Gray album by IHT Records/Mercer Street Records.

 

Melody Gardot, "The Absence". 33&1/3 rpm vinyl by Decca Records.

 

Miles Davis, "Sorcerer". MoFi, 33&1/3. Nice.

 

Nirvana - Unplugged in New York (ORG)

 

Miles Davis, "Filles de Kilimanjaro. MoFi, 33&1/3. Nice.

 

Fleetwood Mac - Mystery to Me

 

Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (MFSL)

 

Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz, "Hamp & Getz". A Muenster-Dummel, Norman Granz recording, reissued by Waxtime. Vinyl, 33&1/3rpm.

 

The Jazz Messengers, "The Jazz Messengers". Sony rerelease of the Columbia original, 33&1/3 rpm. This iteration of the Jazz Messengers consisted of: Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins and of course, Art Blakey. Talk about a lineup!

Cool! I'd be interested what you think of the David Gilmour album. I'm guessing it's more of a rocker than "On An Island" was. I've read where he thinks it's some of his best work yet.

 

Now listening to Hank Mobley Quintet, "The Feelin's Good". 45rpm Blue Note/Music Matters release. Note that the players on this album are the same as on the Jazz Messengers album above, except Herbie Hancock plays instead of Horace Silver and Philly Joe Jones takes over on drums. With these two changes in lineup, the music changes quite a bit.

 

I've heard the Gilmour the other day, in high-res. It's a pleasant album, pretty much what I expected from him at this point. Background music, really, not much more than that. I found that PF album more interesting in general than this.

If you want primo Gilmour, get that first self-titled album of his, from 1978 or so. That's a classic!

 

The Endless River - Pink Floyd ... spinning right now (CD).

* If this is a strictly analog thread, just let me know...and I will spin an album instead.

Rattle that Lock is not the epitaph of all Gilmour's musical creations. Some tunes on that album...I...how can I put it...I simply don't like...and others I like.
I'll check the Blu sometime (hi-res multich).

On an Island is similar; with tunes I really like and others that I care less.

? Roger Waters - Amused to Death ...CD with Q-Sound and Blu-ray Audio...much more immersive and pleasant personal preference wise.

<<>> Pink Floyd: The Endless River (right in the now)...some cool here, but not the apotheosis of ultimate Floyd...that goes to Ummagumma and Wish You Were Here.

This is my personal opinion; no need to adjust the vertical hold control of your TV. :b

P.S. I know that the majority of you hi-end audiophiles are listening strictly to stereo hi-fi music (me too, generally...like right now), but I enjoy hi-res multichannel music as well...it reminds me of my experiences @ concert halls.
With stereo I don't want a dead acoustically treated room...I want it to be realistically reflective too...that's why I chose my main speakers for...excellent on and off axis sound propagation.

We can also set our environment pleasant for multichannel music listening...with three or four-five speakers. ...And a subwoofer too, or two.

Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Yes, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Genesis, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Michael Stearns, Dead Can Dance, Air, ...all exploration music from the caverns and underground tunnels of space interesting in multichannel listening.
Being engulfed, under a spell of transcendental state of mind is all good with music...be it mono or all around.

 

David Gilmour with three tracks from Rattle that Lock on Jools Hollands "Later" show on BBC2 TV.
Pretty good.
