Some shuffling listening under an attractive blue sky...

...or, even, pink sky...

...no, wait, blue sky it is...

At lunchtime, a find in the local British Heart Foundation Shop - Minilogue's 2CD set of house/ambient/improv from 2013...

I had not heard of them till I checked my phone before shelling out all of 99p...

Meanwhile, back home, a goodly number of packages had also been delivered...

This, the last into the collection of four season-based discs by ex-Bill Bruford's Earthworks keyboards man, Django Bates...

..another gap in the 35 albums between 1971 and 2008 Udo Lindenberg collection filled...

..and the Jarre input also continued with these two...

This I had as a download...

This, I once owned on some format or another -

On listening, the 45 minute title track shows Monsieur Jarre to have been a master of the ambient genre 26 years ago...

On telly, some programmes, including a new one which was "ok" and will be followed...

I don't recall names though...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : Yet more new (and not so new) music...

Disco Stu said...: I'm getting into Vangelis just now. Although i watched a bit of a concert he fronted with the prog rock group 'Yes', the concert spectators gave it all a look rather like a happy clappy church service on a Sunday afternoon. Favourite show on TV right now is American Pickers which is on Dave or Pick TV or the History channel if you have access to it. Hope this gets through.; 7:27 pm
Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: Reading you loud and clear Stu. I like your eclectic tastes!; 7:53 pm

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

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!
