Been listening to these CDs over last couple of weeks:
1. David Sylvian – The Good Son vs The Only Daughter
Remixes of the ‘blemish’ album – remarkably coherent, total retakes on some tracks, warmth brought to some of the more stark pieces from the original album.
2. Porcupine Tree – Stars Die
A 2-CD retrospective.
3. Harold Budd – Avalon Sutra
Double album – been on my playlist for a while now. Keeps haunting me.
4. Harold Budd – The Pavilion of Dreams
The first album I heard by Budd – still love it after all these years.
5. Brian Eno – Another Day on Earth
Eno does voices after so long – great depth that keeps coming through on each listen.
6. Fripp & Eno – The Equatorial Stars
Great for easing those tensions…
7. Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland
I just love listening to someone push the boundaries, and those melodies, hooks, riffs!
8. Iarla O’Lionnaird – Invisible Fields
The singer from Afro Celts. Third solo album – a work of great late night beauty.
9. Jonny Greenwood – Bodysong
I love the jazz blasts on this – and the classical pieces – incredibly diverse.
10. Tom Waits – Alice: the complete demos
Great to hear this alongside the original album – the ‘interlude’ pieces are intriguing, and the singing is fantastic, often very funny.
