What's Spinning Tonight?

What’s going on Shane - Did I break your heart or have I missed something? Well not quite the mosted advanced tunes at my place, but I got to say Daft Punk sounds pretty cool on my system… I’ll get back with a report when I spinn the vinyl. I take it, it’s not your cup of tea… OR..?!

Johan. I am just taking the piss / joking around. To me Daft Punk is so derivative and crap they are the Diana Krall of electronic music :p

Now this is godlike electronic music and in another universe to Daft Punk.

The Beloved - Happiness - the 2020 2LP reissue. one of the best synth pop releases ever.

I know Shane… don’t you worrie man, I know irony when I see it…LOL.. :D !!!
Not all artist are my cup of tea too. I DID actually listen to Daft Punk yesterday, and I DID actually mumbled quitetly to myself.. ””-hmm… that shane guy down under is not quite lost here… hmm..”” !! Damn it man.. I got to give it to you, that it was okaaaay, but no more…. The Beloved on the other hand is something else, agree a 1000%!! The Beloved, loves to be loved, and I truly love them..LOL:p!!

Occasionally I listen to Diana Krall too, but there I have to say she is really good… When I’m in that mode, I can (despite your screaming and boxing) play her for days in a row… I like her a lot, and her albums sounds like another universe here… When you come over and listen here, you WILL change your mind, I’m sure… MOOHAHAHA!!!

Cheers my friend

On the Ascona this pre lunch☝:

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories, from 2013, on black vinyl at 33rpm.

This is for YOU Shane as is the very best ever:D… LOL..!!!

Frankly speaking, the sound is pretty okay, good bass, nice sound effects, with a very silent background. All and all, an overall okay album. Enjoy !

Zara Larsson - VENUS, from 2024, on brown-red transparent vinyl at 33rpm.

This young fresh swedish artist is in the league of other nu-disco / house music artists like Alison Goldfrapp, Roosevelt, and such.
Very hard to sit still when listen, cus this baby is gonna move your butt :p !! Very very good sound on all planes… Highly recommended!!

The platter keeps turning on the Ascona☝:

Lisa Stansfield - Affection, orginal from 1989, on black vinyl at 33rpm.

This is one of my real favourite artists, and she has been a true companion throughout my DJ years, and ever after.. I play her as often as I can, and her voice and tight soul-like music always makes me smile, dance and shake my butt!! I love her ♥️!!! Don’t know why I always wanna pour an umbrella drink while she is pumping my stereo system:D??!!

This particular record, I bought used for $ 5 U.S. dollars. It was dusty as an old troll, but no scratches. A spinn in the manual record cleaning machine, and then off to the ultra sonic automatic cleaning machine, it was like it was pressed this morning!!! Awesome sounding, thight, fast, bass, clear awesome mids, with a super exclusive treble… Pure love to listen to this one☝;)!!

On the Ascona this mid Sunday☝:

The Doors - Strange days, orginally released in 1967 by Elektra Records. This stereo reissue, also from Elektra Records, is from 2009 and is very good sounding. Makes me wanna reach out for the Acoustic Sounds 2x45 version, which I don’t have yet. Enjoy!

I must admit I never bought this album when it came out as I only really like 2 tracks on it.

For me the best 2 tracks on the album are Giorgio by Moroder and Get lucky.

Now some really fresh fruit on the Ascona☝:

The Last Dinner Party - Prelude To Ecstasy, from 2024, on black vinyl at 33rpm.

This is the London based group’s first ever album. And it really caught my attention the other day at the record shop. The owner kept playing it while I was going through albums after albums… I felt there was something.. and I couldn’t let go.. This could actually be the record of 2024… I feel Pink Floyd, I feel Beth Nielsen Chapman, I feel Maggie Reilly, I feel Sally Oldfield, and a bit of Shakespear’s Sister…. A really cool sounding album, with a very balanced sound. This pressing is exquisite!! Highly recommended!! Enjoy !

Hi Chris,

Yea I have been restrained towards this album my self, but I will give it 10-20 spinn before I really say what I think… The actual sound and the sound effects on the album is really really good, and that can be enough for me…. So far it is pretty okay to me… no more no less ;).

Hey J007B,
I held it in my hand in the shop yesterday but decided not to go for it.. at least not yesterday anyway. I think I will stream it for a while before any decision of buying it… it was okay to my ears but it did not caught me the way I wanted to… Maybe next time… I love Norah Jones… she is a fantastic artist.
