Re: Your last listen
Allen Stone - self titled debut album on vinyl. Strange as it might seem but I much prefer the CD and the streamed version to the vinyl one. The vinyl has gone into my "to be sold" box..

Re: Your last listen
I needed something smooth and relaxing after sorting out a lot of legal stuff (solicitors lack of urgency winds me thru the roof) and an ongoing boundary dispute that makes me want to wrap a shovel round someones head.
It had to be and was only ever going to be The very best of The Crusaders (1976). That and a cup of tea (no beer fyi) has done the trick of winding me down.

Re: Your last listen
Joy Division 'Closer' (1980) LP
After Ian Curtis took his own life in a bout of depression caused by the prospect of Joy Division's imminent first American tour, it was a long wait for us fans until 'Closer' appeared with its funereal mausoleum cover. A tribute to a talent departed too soon. An album reeking of desperation and loss.
The latest LP reissue, on 180g vinyl from the 2007 remaster, is glorious. So much fuller and more gut-wrenchingly intense than the somewhat brittle original pressing. An album that has become a timeless swan-song and a tragic monument.

Re: Your last listen
Audio system crowing is not consonant with actual love/knowledge of music.
Hence the sad state of affairs as made manifest in this (nigh-dead) "music" section.

And there is virtually no 'Audio system crowing' in this thread which is for all to show their diverse and varied musical tastes (including prog).
