A couple of rarities...

Playlist

Cloudland Blue Quartet – Vendôme EP
VArious - Jazz Jukebox on Shuffleplay
Various – 30 Favourite Artists
Various Composers – 100 Best Baroque
Earthworks – Heavenly Bodies

Working this morning on the website for Aftersilence – now done....

Then realised none of the tracks I have put up to the Cloud thus far can currently be downloaded directly from the players I’ve posted, as my provider appears to have changed the workings of their site...

So, a laborious long haul project to provide individual downloads on each of the now nine albums I have up...

By the end of today I’d re-done “Splinterheart”, “Soundingfall” and “Ersatzreal” plus “Aftersilence” and the new “Vendôme” EP...

Still to do "Callingstill" through to "Deeperdown"...

Also this morning sourced and up loaded all the best songs from yesterday’s “Eurovision Song Contest”...

Some work in the garden – a rarity for me...

More work on the CBQ album sites as noted above and rehearsing acoustic versions of “Twenty Twenty Vision”, “Vendôme”, “The End of Everything” and “I Re-Arranged the House”, as per the “Vendôme” EP, for Wednesday...

Some mucking about with the camera...

To Anne’s mum’s for tea...

Much talk about football...

Anne’s mum’s curries were very tasty today – as were her home-made chocolate brownies...

Tomorrow evening I will be off to a cello recital by nephew Ollie and his schoolchums – I can already hear it in my head...

Back home “Portillo on Salmond” was ok but a little disappointing – although I have much time for Mr P...

Fell asleep during “Sportscene” and called it a day pre the Exec Producer – another rarity...

Highlight of the Day : Anne’s mum’s cooking...

My copy of Gold In The Shadow still hasn't made its way across the pond so I'm having to make do with the two freebies from his site. Still darn good though.; 10:12 pm

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!
