Cold, autumnal day...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet - 2011 Demos

First frost of the year, as witnessed by a blurry Meg the Black Cat...

Out into the cold, all wrapped up and soundtracked on loop by the new music...

People going somewhere...

The trees look good...

A walk to Fopp - nothing purchased...

Cold, autumnal day...

Past the cathedral on the way home...

Reworking lyrics for one song tonight - took an age...

A call from sister Sheila advising Pam "terrible" this evening but that her chum Liz had cheered things up by bringing in a much enjoyed fish supper for the invalid - jealousy broke out around the hospital due to the aroma wafting through the corridors...

No doubt some TV was watched - but not remembered...

Highlight of the Day : Working on my music - keeps my mind occupied...

As always from Crispycat Recordings, entirely Free to Stream or Name Your Price (including zero) to Download (with bonuses). For lovers of Frippertronics, "Disquietmusik IX" is the ninth in the annual series of Guitarscapes albums from Cloudland Blue Quartet, following on from the successes of "Disquietmusik" in 2017 through to "Disquietmusik VIII" in 2024, all eight of which remain available on Bandcamp. These annual recordings of, frankly, weird and, occasionally, very annoying "music", have become the basis of much of what Cloudland Blue Quartet does over each following twelve month period, popping up, often re-pitched and/or re-tempo-ed, in the strangest of places, underpinning other new recordings or in his remixes of his own and of other artists' works. "Disquietmusik" has come to represent a signature sound of CBQ's oeuvre. The 67 min LP is expanded in the download bundle by over 5hrs 20mins, making this the equivalent of a 6CD Box Set. The 3 bonus albums, "Disquietmusik IX (Reversed)", "Disquietmusik IX (16 RPM)" and "Disquietmusik IX (16 RPM) (Reversed)", each give a different perspective on the pieces. CBQ has said: "If I decided not to do anything else from now on, I'd still do these every year..."

Of almost 750 shows published since 2014, sadly, only the latest 10 are able to be made available on Mixcloud. 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, he kicks off with his seven new releases of the week, the latest items from CBQ and then, seven new back catalogue items into the collection. The remainder of the show may feature new singles if any have impressed plus a further selection of eclectic, in the main, new, music. Get ready to hear stuff you've never heard before, far out jazz, tuneless contemporary classical music, electronic, pop music, ambient, leftfield, prog rock - anything and everything. It's eclectic!
