What is spinning?

Noob it sounds so amazing I can't get over it. I think you out did the Adams Apple, which WAS the gold standard.

Soular Energy is an unusually good-sounding record...much to my (pleasant) surprise. And props go out to the Ortofon 14 stylus.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I busted out some LPs.

Etta James, Matriarch of the Blues. If'in you don't have any Etta in your collection you best run out and get some.

I owe frenchmon a great debt for putting me onto Desmond, Hall and Mulligan. I grabbed an album with Desmond AND Chet Baker. Superb.

Side Two is awesome! More trippy and jazz like.

Picked it up today, and thanks for your recommendation.
The red vinyl looks very cool, and makes me want to show it to people who are older than 80 and/or from Texas.

Hey all, in the future when posting a rec would you mind saying the name and title of the album opposed to just a link to picture? Sometime the picture does me no good. If I know the name I can go out and hunt some samples. Thanks

What? You don't know Cyrillic???

I'm with popmaster chubby on this one. Frenchmon's endorsement of Paul Desmond made me pick up Pure Desmond and Skylark on vinyl. Really nice stuff.

Friend made me this - Really interesting and so far, from my passive listening while working around the house, I love the spacey guitar work. Sitting down now to give the whole thing a serious listen. Then back to writing up reviews...

(edit) UPDATE: Back after giving the album a serious listen. All I can say is if you like John Lee Hooker, Paul Simon's Graceland, and Dead Can Dance, than you absolutely MUST pick this album up. It is an amazing combination of these three along w/ of course the other stuff mentioned in the Allmusic.com write up.

What a fantastic album. The only complaint I could possibly have is in the engineering and cultural part. It seems a lot of stuff tracked fairly center in the soundstage. Even though there is a lot going on in the left and right channels, echo and guitar tracks coming in and out, drums starting up and fading away, the main singing and back up vocals, bass, guitar, and some drums are still tracked a little to dead center for me. There feels like, at least w/ this Electrocompaniet Prelude system, like there is some space to have spread things out a bit more. And culturally, it is all sung in a foreign tongue. Since I'm not too used to 'world music' (as in not sung in English) I did loose track of the music at about track 10 or 11. But tracks 12 and 13 slowed way down and got a lot spacier and I was sucked right back into what was going on.

Anyways, like I said, if you like the above three things, you MUST get this. I think it is just fantastic, and so will you!

LOL - That is awesome. What do you think? It is pretty amazing this think this was being recorded in Soviet Russia in the '70's. And not too bad music to boot. The funky flute parts are pretty funny.

Just now rummaged around in the box of to-be-donated records in the guestroom closet and dug out...Klaatu.

[Auricauricle]

This lovely album is the second and final collaboration between the late Malian guitarist Ali Farka Touré and kora master Toumani Diabaté. Like its predecessor, In the Heart of the Moon, Ali and Toumani is a rich tribute to the late Touré, whose sweet guitar just floats through the air. This music is deeply and spiritually uplifting and nurturing: a must listen not only to world-music aficionados, but to anyone looking for solace, transport and just, plain music.

Hey Auricauricle, this seems in the same vain as what I just posted. I'll have to pick it up. Thanks for the suggestion, it is on my list.

The album sounds modern and FunkaJazilicious to my ears. I love it!
