Watching the LEM...

Playlist

Brian Eno - For All Mankind Soundtrack (CD-R)

Brian Eno - Biography Collection (CD-R)

A lovely autumn day again...

My favourite telegraph pole was looking particularly good on the way home...

This evening, we drove to Glasgow for a concert in this weekend's "Minimalism" series...

We were at the Old Fruitmarket, for Icebreaker's performance of Eno's music, accompanying a screening of Al Reinert's film, "For All Mankind"...

Comprising NASA footage from the manned missions to the moon which took place between 1968 and 1972, the film provided a moving backdrop to some of my favourite ever music...

I have the full DVD of the original film at home - tonight's screening was an edited version - but, nonetheless, this was an inspiring spectacle enjoyed by a packed audience...

Of course, as ever, there was the odd disrespectful fidgeting idiot amongst us but I did my best to put that out of my mind as I enjoyed the performance...

Back home just after midnight...

Excellent stuff...

The right stuff...

Highlight of the Day : Minimalism for all mankind...

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!
