Get the synth out...

Playlist
The Bad Plus - Do the Math (2CD-R Best of)
Brian Eno - Discreet Music

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Starlightnight Demos
CCS - A', B's & Rarities
Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV : Vol 1

Up at 6:24 and updating this...

Meg the Black Cat kind of helped out as usual...





Some surfing - found some interesting music at Heat Death Records which, in turn, led me to a site, Ubu, where MP3s of Brian Eno’s groundbreaking Obscure Record label releases are available...

The full set of ten now sits on my hard drive (though I had a few already)...

Also downloaded two free ambient compilations from bandcamp from the Future Sequence label...

Still not very mobile but got the bass out the loft and started to rework some of the tracks on the new album – even though release is imminent...

What am I playing at...

Abandoned the bass and got the 1980 purchased Yamaha CS5 synth out the loft and headway was made...



This took up most of a rain-lashing-down-all-day day...

Much laborious tweaking took place and, in addition, a sixteenth track, "On the Eve", energed...

Two new CDs arrived - CCS and the first of a few by Coheed and Cambria...

Limped through the rain to the store for provisions as, tonight, in reference to the revamped background info at the top of this blog, I had decided to cook...



A very tasty dish was concocted to the sounds of CCS...



Chicken breasts, red onion, red, green and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, paprika and cayenne, creme fraiche and pasta...



Accompanied by a very nice Chilean Shiraz...

Footie was once again watched (soundtracked by Coheed and Cambria) with Poland and, surprisingly, Russia going out...

Last night we watched the first four episodes of "Curb Your enthusiasm" series three - tonight a further two were enjoyed, along with "Live at the Apollo"...

Lights out on a productive day...

Highlight of the Day : Musicking and cooking...
