What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

 

Another terrific live recording from the Esbjörn Svensson Trio. Live in Hamburg, 2007

 

The Very Best of Smoothjazz Guitar

 

Lee Ritenour - Six String Theory
(includes various guitarists - e.g. Slash, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal, John Scofield, Steve Lukather, Robert Cray, etc)

 

Wow - talk about contrast!! I’m impressed of all the genres you do listen to, but this one was not my cup of tea. I was however very impressed by the sound quality.. Well done Shane @XV-1 !

Johan, variety is the spice of life. back to normal transmission

GusGus – Mexico - another ripper of an album

 

I’m still playing with cartridges on the Clearaudio Master Reference with the TT2 linear arm. A Charisma V2.1 has been remounted and I’m playing



This album was recorded in Stockholm, but pressed and distributed in England.

Here’s the back side

 

Beck – Mutations - original Bong Load US pressing - his best imo and sounds sublime

 

The Fixx – Reach The Beach - one of my fave albums when released in 83. Loved it so much, I had my then GF paint the cover onto canvas - still have it.

I double that Sir ’☝ !!

 

The Fixx – Reach The Beach - one of my fave albums when released in 83. Loved it so much, I had my then GF paint the cover onto canvas - still have it.

That is a fine record and, in my opinion, an underrated band. Not a huge fan of the new wave genre in its day but the Fixx wrote excellent hook filled songs (One Thing Leads to Another, Saved by Zero). One of the gems of the 80's new wave scene. Thanks for mentioning it, I am going to clean it up and give it a listen.

 

Boris Blank - Resonance, from 2024 on CD, has been on repeat all day here… Wow, what an album!!

Hi Shane @XV-1 ,

Streaming GusGus - Mexico right now.. To be honest, I have to say this is even better than the ”Mobile Home” album in my opinion.

Not as weird mid bass as the M H album, and a lots of VERY nice cool electronic loops, keeping this Mexico album flowing like never before… so cool… ..!!!

Got to get this one on vinyl as well☝!!

Great version of Chick Corea’s Windows. Fast pace. Great version of Freddie Hubbard’s Red Clay.
Jack died not too long ago. He was a genius without doubt.

This used to be available on Prime in CD resolution, but I don’t see it tonight. It’s never been available on Qobuz. That’s a big advantage of vinyl. I have quite a few records that are not offered in high quality on any streaming services.
