What's spinning

I had a distinct live evening last night

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel-Face to Face

Neil Young-Rust Never Sleeps

The Allman Brothers Band-At Filmore East

The Waterboys-Karma to Burn

And to cool down: Christy Moore-At the Point

All great Live recordings in their own right.

1) Mussorgsky/ Pictures at an Exhibition-Fritz Reiner,CSO,Living Stereo

2)Boney James/Pure

3)Brahms/Cello Sonatas-Yo-Yo Ma & Emanuel Ax

4)Rimsky-Korsakov/ Scheherazade-Robert Spano,Telarc

5)Dvorak/ Czech Suite #5,7,8

The last I found a couple of months ago while browsing in a used book store. It was thrown up a shelf, obviously as an afterthought as there were no other cds in the place. After ringing up the rest of my purchases the clerk sort of shrugged his head and randomly assigned it the hefty price of $1.00. Best single dollar investment I've ever made as it has given me many hours of enjoyment.

Great album but it was better live.

[Bernd]

Hey-two responses I was beginning to think that nobody is listening to music just getting exited about hardware.
I bet it was better live. It's a great live album. In my opinion just beaten to the Post by Mike Scott's latest offering-Karma to Burn. The most complete live album I know. Matter of fact it's spinning right now.

Peace

I hate to admit it, but I'm completely ignorant of " Karma to Burn"; love the Almond Bros though. Probably the only live r&r to make it to my heavy rotation list are the live cuts off the Dire Straits Best Of. I'm enjoying Clapton's Croosroads DVD too. New to me but evidently old hat to everyone else.

...recorded just can not compete with live. I remember driving along in my car some years ago, I think it was in Leavenworth Kansas, listening to something-or-other. I don't remember if it was radio or casette. I was enjoying it until I drove by a band which was playing outdoors. Then I realized just how pathetic my car stereo was, how far short recorded music fell.

On the other hand, I have found amazing recorded music. Most recently, it was the CD "Footwork" by Knut Reiersrud. It was recorded in Norway, and I had only heard of it mentioned in the liner notes of another CD, also excellent. The sound quality was simply astonishing. It was used, and half-price in a used CD/LP store which is closing down. Wot a deal, but I'm going to miss the place...

Yes the scandinavians now how to record well. A now disbandend Kansas City Band "The Rainmakers" did some of their best work from a studio in Sweden.
As for Karma to Burn it just astounds with the quality of musician ship, recording and most of all selection and running order of songs. I have been a friend of Mike for a long time and to me he is one of the last true geniuses who writes from the heart and not for the ego. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.
I also like the Eric Clapton you mentioned. A great one here is the "Unplugged" recording.

I was introduced to "Snowy White" through his work with "Pink Floyd" and he got a mention in their sleeve notes.Great find.

Great album but it was better live.

didn't that one get re-mastered about 12-13 years ago?

Cut Copy: In Ghost Colors

Fresh and modern sounding electro-pop that keep it light and breezy. Has a bit of that swirl of electronics I first heard on Manitoba's In Flames. Like that album, this one didn't have immediate appeal, but I just tossed it on for another go 'round and it's fairing quite nicely. Maybe it's all the cough syrup. Seems to have a bit of an 80s feel to it.

Good taste, I love the Brahms "Cello Sonatas with Ma and Ax. My favorite version of "Pictures at an Exhibition" is with Riccardo Muti conducting the Philidelphia Orchestra and my favorite recording of "Scheherazade" conducted by Rostropovich with the Orchestre de Paris. I will have to try the Dvorak but I doubt if I will have your luck.

Ravel - Daphnis et Chloe Charles Munch LSC

I have the RCA Living Stereo vinyl reissue of the 1954 performance by Munch and the BSO. I listened to it over the weekend - the chorus sounds so otherworldly and eerie.

Other recent spins include:
In the Aeroplane over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel, great album recommended recently on this board as one of the best albums of the 90s so I tracked it down.

Gram Parsons - GP and Grievous Angel. I saw some of the movie Gram Theft Parsons yesterday which inspired me to play these.

Dang! I forgot to add the one I've been listening to the most since Friday - Oh, Inverted World - The Shins. This was the token inexpensive lp added to my last vinyl order, but it became a favorite over the weekend (after a couple of weeks of just standing there in a stack).

I agree with you, after what seems like a stuttering invocation, the chorus thats comes in later sounds gloriously wonderful...

I am currently 'Relaxing with Miles Davis'

hmmm...I have that one, too - the cheap original jazz classics lp (most of them sound just as good as the 180gm deluxe versions). Haven't listened to Relaxin' in a long, long time. I'll give it a spin this weekend.

Back to Daphnis et Chloe -- sort of. Another ballet that I would like to get is Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. Do you have a recommendation for a particular version of this piece?

[bobsticks]

Hey speaking about spinning and Kinky vinyl, are any of you guys gonna get that new Ray Davies CD tomorrow or wait a couple weeks for the vinyl? People have been saying that it's very good. Have you heard anything from it Stone?

I bought the Thanksgiving Day EP when it came out, coincidentally enough, around Thanksgiving. I think it's very good, and much better than the last few Kinks records. It has at least one of the same tracks as the upcoming album. Other than that track, I haven't heard it. I will buy the new album, but probably not tomorrow, and it'll likely be on CD when I do purchase it.
