One Winged Angel Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 sorry about this, the youtube embed thing doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment. It just comes up blank when I post. It will just have to be a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO_p-4f9YUA Link to post Share on other sites

Tja Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 IMO, the best rendition of this song. Link to post Share on other sites
Gentle Giant Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Right at this minute I'm listening to the Magical Mystery Tour album on CD by The Beatles. I do have a turntable. When I get a chance to spin something, I'll post it here. Link to post Share on other sites
Decaf Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 I like Magical Mystery Tour, Gentle Giant.Still have the wee book with two 7" singles in the cover.Lovely music, Tja.Funnily enough, I was at 'Opera in the Park' tonight, which was basically a live link-up with Covent Garden, shown on a huge screen in the open air.It was nice to see so many people with fold-up chairs and picnic hampers :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Gentle Giant Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I like Magical Mystery Tour, Gentle Giant. Still have the wee book with two 7" singles in the cover. That's neat! Right now I'm listening to Phideaux - Snowtorch on CD. They are a newer prog band with an old prog style similar to Pink Floyd, Genesis, etc. Excellent! Link to post Share on other sites
Decaf Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 I really like that track, Gentle Giant....thanks for the tip! They are completely new to me.Today I've been listening to Harmonium...a French Canadian prog band, and Wigwam, who are from Finland, but have a Welsh vocalist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhWtmOJk_j0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL7AqYop2a4 Link to post Share on other sites
Gentle Giant Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Today I dug out 2 records I listened to when I was a kid. Both are really old organ music records. The first was Eddie Layton - Caravan and the second was Ethel Smith's Toy Parade. Eddie Layton's is pretty good, but Ethel Smith's is superior. For as old as the record is, from 1951, it sounds great! Her music is also so much fun to listen to. Might have to search out some of her other stuff. I was also thinking she should have joined a prog band. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
Tystie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've been listening to Faure's Requiem this evening. (It was performed at the Proms yesterday, and broadcast on TV, so I'm not sure that technically counts as playing you a record. I do have a couple of versions on CD, though.) I love the music. (Actually, I like Faure's music, in general. My dad introduced me to the requiem, so it makes me think of him. Then, we played part of it at my mother's funeral. I couldn't listen to it for a long time after that, and while I can now, it's still a bittersweet experience.) Link to post Share on other sites
Tanwen Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 This is currently my favourite Rondo' Veneziano track - doesn't matter how bad a mood I'm in, it always turns it into a great day - Festa Celtica :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38irjea_Olo Link to post Share on other sites
One Winged Angel Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I love this song, heard it first in Assassins Creed IV and have listened to many different versions of it since. It's a very old song and has a melancholy feel which invokes nostalgia and sadness at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
Decaf Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks to everyone for contributing to this thread. There is some lovely music here and I'm learning a lot.I've had this beautiful and sad piece by Piazzolla on repeat for a while; Link to post Share on other sites

Gentle Giant Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 KISS Ace Frehley solo album on vinyl. Pretty decent rock record, probably the best one of the KISS solo albums. Love "New York Groove"! Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Nothing right now (I have a migraine), but I often like to listen to my Pandora station that plays songs like some of Blossom Dearie's work and other artists along similar lines. Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerhead Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Funny I should come across this thread. My old venerable Technics turntable finally died after almost 30 years of flawless playing. Just replaced it with an Audo-Technica turntable and I'm playing Steely Dan's Aja album (Original Master Recording) on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Gentle Giant Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 @Hammerhead Oh no! Sorry your turntable died! Glad you could get a new one and enjoy your records again! I still have my vintage Scott table, if I remember correctly was from 1979. I hope it holds out quite a while yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The good news is that vinyl is coming back, and there are a decent turntables at relatively affordable prices again. Not so sure about £25 for an album as opposed to £14 for the CD, though Link to post Share on other sites
