Amorphis
The Beginning of Times


Quality Finnish metal.
"A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people ... then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour — such is my idea of happiness"

So many great songs on that album.  Would love to get ahold of a LP copy of that one.   :)

Beck: Morning Phase 48





This listen was prompted by a relatively recent query by George.

This album makes for very smooth, gently lyrical and easy listening. I particularly like the acoustic guitar playing on the album, where it is used; it is simple but effective. There is also a good vocal presence [including backing, harmony, vocals] here. It is a well produced album.

Such a lovely album, perfectly suited for winter listening.

I only have one of her albums--Natural Woman--but I love it!  Is your collection on LP or CD Fergus?

Here:  Led Zeppelin's first album.  In o.k. shape but would love to find a better copy.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you were ever considering another album by Carole King I would definitely recommend Tapestry, PD.
I have Tapestry on CD and the set listed above is Digital.

I looked again at my posting--my brain must have left my body while I was typing the other day!  I had meant Tapestry (which also includes the song, as you know, Natural Woman).  ::)

I have it on LP.

Thanks for the info about that set!  :)

Cheers, PD. I thought that you might have had some compilation album.
Nice to have Tapestry on vinyl.  8)

Will have to give it a clean up and see what kind of "treatment" I gave it when I was younger!  ::)
