Tom Jones 'Long Lost Suitcase'

This is the final in a trilogy of albums which started with 'Praise and Blame' (we'll see what he does next) this one is a little more 'poppy' than the previous two and perhaps is a bit more about his own music than the music of others - it's the companion album to his autobiography. All three albums are nicely put together, tastefully restrained - even 'stripped back' production and of course there's that voice which, for me, is now better than it has ever been.

Trifle - First Meeting (1971)

A sort of English Blood Sweat & Tears with a serving of (early) Chicago on the side is the best way I can describe this one.

I've been on YouTube, listening to some fine dance stuff from the 80's - remixes of SOS Band favourite tracks, plus some other tracks I dare not shout about. really good music but it's thirty odd years old now

Manuel Iman: Legacy

I have no idea how this came to be in my CD collection, but I gave it a spin earlier today and got a pleasant surprise. Nice, chilled, well produced and of the 'world music' genre, with a hint of Eastern promise . Worth a listen.

The National: Alligator.

Have these guys made a bad album yet? Love everything they've done, and they even named this album after a Grateful Dead song

You've intrigued me Walt, will check this out in the workshop this afternoon.

[Fretless]

The National are stunningly good.

Check out 'Boxer' as well. And the rest. In a similar vein is Interpol's 'Turn Out the Bright Lights'.

There is a side project called Clogs that play an odd acoustic/ambient mix.

[jammy395]

Well I gave it a go Walter and tried your suggestions Fret, don't get me wrong it is quality, but just not quite my cuppa.
Did get me to this in one heck of a round about way though......Its well worth checking out.

Stereo was a bit of a gimmick in 71.

Cool. Thanks.

Of course that second track is a cover

Remember when Manfred Mann went all prog (and commercial - the Mannekin Advert...)

which was 'Travelling Lady'

[BBvideo 425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUvfbpi_1RA[/BBvideo] warning 45 second intro.

Which was, of course, absolutely nothing to do with Hendrix' Foxy Lady
