Today's Purchases (Non-classical)

Now that's surprising! I take it you like it/them?

I used to like Alternative 4/Judgement/We're here because we're here/Weather Systems quite a bit! 

Oh yes, I think Anathema are quite good. I don't have all of their albums, but Weather Systems is really good. They have a new album coming out next month titled The Optimist. I'm probably going to be getting that one as well.

3 Asian dvds have arrived
I AM NOT MADAME BOVARY
THE KYOSU CONFERENCE 
and SHIN GODZILLA

[Henk]

With solar cells and dynamo to power it. Also possibility to connect mp3 player by USB. Gets good reviews, so I ordered it. Low price, only E 40, for what it promises.

Low power consumption because of analog receiver (I have read somewhere).

Two recordings from Michael Moore, the American reed player making his career in The Netherlands (Amsterdam).

Read the interview with him in Downbeat.

Subtle and adventureous music, which I want to listen to more closely. I have already some which I will relisten as well.

^ That's a Roger Dean cover if ever there was one! (bottom-right)

Also, hope you enjoy the Steven Wilson albums! And roll on August 18th!

Yep, a Dean cover indeed, which doesn't even suit the music that's inside IMHO, but never mind...that's a topic for another day and not worth the rant. Thanks, I've already listened to Wilson's Hand. Cannot. Erase. about four times all the way through. I'm finding something new each time I listen to it, which is always a good sign. I can't wait for To The Bone. I listened to Pariah many nights ago and found it absolutely haunting and hypnotic.

Bought the Super Deluxe Edition of Steven Wilson's The Raven That Refused to Sing earlier off eBay:

I've made quite a haul over the past week:

Tríona....





The above purchase will mean absolutely nothing to 99.999% of the people on the planet and I do not normally post vinyl purchases [for some reason?] but this one is just a little different. I have been away for a few days and I came across a remarkable book and music shop in a most unexpected place. Unfortunately I did not have a lot of time to browse the sizeable vinyl collection on sale but it is a place which I will definitely return to for much more in depth investigation. Anyway the above was one of those personal WOW moments when one is idly skimming through the shelves or a bin. Tríona ní Dhomhnaill was a very talented traditional Irish singer who played a harpsichord and was very prominent in the 1970's folk scene here in Ireland. She had a terrific and somewhat unusual voice which I particularly liked. She emigrated to the US and I lost contact with her music making as a result. Finding the LP was delightful and took me back a very long way to another place and time, as music has the power to do.

That's cool. Unexpected pleasures can often be the most special ones. And you've still the bonus of revisiting to explore the trove.
