It is starting to accelerate...

Playlist

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Last Four Things

Trio HSK - Trio HSK

Ant Law - Zero Sum Law

Various - 200 Original Jukebox Hits : Hotdogs Hits and Happy Days

Cluster & Eno - Cluster & Eno
Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things

Soundtracked this morning by new music from yesterday, including this...

At lunchtime, in the British Heart Foundation Shop, for just £2.99, 200 US Hit Singles from 1956 to 1973 in a box of 10CDs, probably around 75% of which I've never heard before...

This entertained for much of the evening...

Watched "University Challenge" and was reasonably on fire - better than last week anyway - and then last night's "Humans"...

Back to the console to hear via Twitter that Dieter Moebius of Cluster and Harmonia passed away this morning...

It is starting to accelerate...

Brodski and I saw him perform a live soundtrack to Fritz Lang's Metropolis back in February 2013...

We met him briefly afterwards and he seemed like a nice man...

Only 71...

15 years...

Highlight of the Day : New old music...

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!
