Got all their albums, and Wilson's solos (although I've been a bit underwhelmed by his more recent efforts). Agree on the prog bit, but always thought PT were the heavier end of the prog rock side (particularly at the time with the Opeth influence). Not complaining as its good music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 10 Moderator Share Posted February 10 One of today's purchases. I asked if it was still available last week, “don’t think so, might be able to get a CD”. Turn up today and Bob managed to get me a vinyl copy. I do seem to be hitting an early 70s vine at the minute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Way back when, I was in town to buy a coat, and this album. Found a coat I liked but it was too expensive, and for the first time ever, I haggled. Went up to the guy and explained I wanted the coat but I needed to keep £7 back for a record I wanted to buy. He asked me what the record was, I told him Curtis, and he agreed it was a good album and knocked the £7 off the coat. Album still on the regular play shelf, coat long gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an album I’ve had on a dodgy CD for years, just thought it was about time I bought a proper copy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, probably played it five or six times in the last week and it sucks me right in every time. I think it’s one of his best, just a notch below Manipulator I think. I just counted 18 records I own that Ty Segall plays on, so that includes Fuzz, Peacers, Flat Worms and Feels. I really didn’t think it was that many 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite first-rate soloists among his Le Concert des Nations, there’s an ordinariness to the phrasing and articulation which sometimes borders on the dull. In the opening of No. 2 the four soloists sound disconnected, and in the bigger concertos the recording lacks the focus and immediacy which the complexity of the music demands. Classical-music.com I've had several recordings of the Brandenburgs over the years (Pinnock, Marriner, Hogwood, etc.) but I always find myself coming back to this one from 1969: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
