I do like Joni Mitchell... I've not got that album (I seemed to have stopped collecting at the one before, 'Hejira'), but maybe I shall search it out... I'm liking the random taster, and I love a good rummage in record shops
Funnily enough, I've just found Kate Bush in our shed. I reckon she was after my new orbital sander. She's well known for nicking power tools
Her eternal search for Heathcliff has led her to Andover now, has it? Given up on the wild and windy moors, and turned her attention to your shed? Just goes to show, doesn't it?
All these years and would never of guessed you had the same quality taste of genre as me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Listening to Guy Garvey's Finest Hour from last Sunday, on BBC Sounds (worth the licence fee just for this ). He's talking to Giles Martin about the remastering and remixing that he's been working on to make The Beatles 'Revolver' album 'proper' stereo. The work Giles Martin did on Abbey Road was excellent, so I'm looking forward to this one. The technology developed and used by Peter Jackson when he remastered Let It Be a couple of years ago, is incredible.... being able to pick out individual instruments from a single track that had guitar, drums, and bass all muddled together, and move them to the left, right, centre... sounds brilliant. I'll be looking forward to hearing this in it's entirety at one of our monthly 'Listening Parties' down at the Regal Cinema in Fordingbridge, through the Dolby Atmos system. It will never replace my original Mono and Stereo vinyl copies, and the joy I get listening to them - but I love to hear things differently and to marvel at what we can achieve now that wasn't even dreamt about when the recordings were made. Sounding pretty bloody good
I actually had that album and Mingus, which I think ( am happy to be corrected ) was Joni’s next album. Jaco played on that one too. Jazzy but quite funky too. I always wonder if Scottish people pronounce Mingus as Menzies, because they pronounce Menzies as Mingus don’t they? These things keep me awake at night
Yep, would be interesting listening to that, plenty of knobs to twiddle with, as there’s lots of over tracking on Revolver. I’d say The Beatles at their creative peak.
Made sense to dig this one out (a bit crackly, mind, as it’s the rarer version that was recalled after a day as it had the wrong mix of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’) Probably my favourite Beatles album… probably; might be Rubber Soul. Or Help…..
Great jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis who sadly died recently though at the grand age of 87. This is a bit easy listening for me but I like all sorts.
