The view from the office this morning...

...and this evening...

...at which point this disc had arrived - found in a trawl of Amazon for reasonably priced string quartets...

It's three quartets, arranged though for string orchestra...

Possibly my first Haas - which will appear in the next podcast I imagine - certainly short-listed at present...

In addition to this, chum Chris-with-a-Ch supplied me with the new Pet Shop Boys album - which is up to their usual high standards - favourite track, probably "The Dictator Decides"...

Also downloaded a 6 hour, 11 CD set of ambient music created by Italian sculptor and furniture designer Harry Bertoia, using his sculptures as instruments - intriguing, if slow moving...

On telly, "Line of Duty" was quite superb although I am apprehensive about how things are going to pan out in next week's 90 minute finale...

My favourite show of many current favourites...

Highlight of the Day : Line of Duty...

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!
