Bit of a Deep Purple binge last Friday. Downloaed the MFiT editions of... Deep Purple In Rock Fireball Machine Head Made In Japan (1972 Mix) Burn (plus the awesome Free Live!)
They have many more. I think that Tangerine Dream ceased to exist after Edgar Froese's death last year.
That damn Dylan '66 box. Driven to identify best performances of each song. A lot of listening required...
Sahara Blue is one of my big favorites, such a great record, such an amazing gathering of talent. I've been obsessed with it for over 20 years now I'm starting to get a little obsessed with the latest Ian William Craig record Centres, which it looks like you may be familiar with already based on some of your recent obsessions. My biggest recent obsession has been Virginia Wing, especially their latest Constant Forward Motion, and the earlier Rhonda EP. Just really works for me this year. Just got the vinyl a few days ago and it came with download card from the label Fire Records, and the flac is 44.1/24, which is nice. The new digital definitely sounds quite a bit better than the MP3-320 I was listening to, much more like the vinyl, more relaxed and spacious. Nice, almost sounds slowed down a little, but it's not, just easier to look around inside at all the sounds, so seems to slow down.
It's a shame because I REALLY like Ulrich Schnauss and his music...can't beleive he is associating himself with this.
Roy Wood lately. There was an article about him recently, floating around social media, that reignited my obsession (hardcore fan since his time with The Move). Specifically Wizzard's Brew, Mustard, the first ELO album, and a handful of Move 45s I accumulated over the years. There are a lot of artists in Pop music that earn the title of Weird Genius, but few who have retained the mystique he's had throughout his professional life.
I also like that album. I have been listening to the CD tribute album "Im Your Man", one of the better tribute albums, Teddy Thompson just kills it, and I also like Beth Ortons "Sister of Mercy", a very nice appropriate arrangement
The CBS shows are are sometimes the best. But soundboards that make up the bulk of the material are close to excellent. Aside from that there are 3 cd's based on audience tapes that are barely listenable. But from night to night, BoB has a different mood,tempo, attitude, etc that finds its was into the songs. All the shows Are so different. So... sound quality is good, but it's a good old Harry Potter maze getting started. Good luck.
