Cloudland Blue Quartet - Soundingfall
Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
Dowland - Complete Music for Solo Lute
Clementi - Complete Orchestral Music
Up early and wrote up the last three days quickly...
On my way home tonight, I popped into HMV and decided to buy some new music for the weekend (I convinced myself despite already having around 5,500 CDs at home, many of which I've listened to no more than once, if that)...
In the classical dept, two multi disc sets - a 4CD Box of the solo lute music of Mr John Dowland (whose music influenced SciFi writer Philip K Dick) was complimented nicely by a 3 disc set of the complete orchestral works of Muzio Clementi, a one time competitor of Mozart and Haydn and the publisher of Beethoven and builder of pianos and the greatest piano virtuoso in the world at the close of the 18th Century...
Downstairs, a classic Jimi Hendrix album I've never owned, "Are You Experienced", with the correct running order restored - plus the last Iron Maiden album, "A Matter of Life and Death", purchased following much raving from Dr Prog about this band...
All sterling stuff...
On the way up the road from the bus, I caught this appealing pole on camera...
...along with this little framed piece of sky...
Back home, Meg the Black Cat was snuggled up on the Tesco Carbon Footprint Reducing Bag Thing...
Red Thai chicken Curry for tea, "Have I Got News for You" (not as good as last week) and the return of the best programme on TV (maybe) "Law & Order : Criminal Intent" - all interspersed with much listening to, and ripping of, the new music...
Iron Maiden's album has a strange sound - found out it wasn't mastered - they wanted it to sound exactly as it did in the studio...
Hendrix's debut is suitably 1967, while the Dowland contains understated beauty and the Clementi is a delightful set...
Lovely...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : The return of "Law & Order : Criminal Intent"...
