Crispycat Recordings: Coming down...

Coming down...

A bit of anti climax day today after yesterday's euphoria over the Hearts win...

At HMV I buy a CD of string quartets by the Belcea Quartet - three works, all French (aptly) and the only quartets written by Debussy, Dutilleux and Ravel...

I listen to these challenging pieces while Anne makes a lovely meal of salmon, stuffed tomatoes and salad with French bread on the side. She has made her own dressings as well and very impressive this all is too...

I spend the evening updating the first couple of days from the French trip on the diary and uploading recent purchases into the jukebox...

I have been struck down with a bad cold. Don't know if this is a reaction to coming home or wandering the streets of Glasgow yesterday for several hours but, no doubt, I'll be under the weather for a few days...

Ho hum...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's excellent cooking

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
