It's the music that keeps me going...

Playlist
Various - Top 100 Albums

The ides of March...

Having made a very (very) tentative start to a new LP yesterday and listening whenever I can to my top 100 recent LPs (released in the last three years being deemed "recent"), I realise it's the music that keeps me going...

Restricting my listening to just these 100 examples of music has led me to discover some great music I obviously didn't listen to properly when I got the CDs...

Various tracks by the likes of The Killers, Loney Dear, Cloudland Canyon, Holy Fuck, 2Raumwohnung, Fennesz/Sakamoto, Deus, Guilt Machine, Transatlantic, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Biffy Clyro, Elbow, Dream Theater and Sweet Billy Pilgrim have provided some pleasant surprises over the last couple of days...

Trees are good too of course...

And, tonight, the top 100 on shuffleplay helped me through another five mile run at the gym...

Back home, Anne's tasty curry from Saturday sustained nicely as we watched "Glee" and "Harry Hill's TV Burp"...

To bed with more music on the headphones...

Highlight of the day : Listening...and Anne's curry...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
