Time can change your perspective...

Playlist

Cloudland Blue Quartet - Rubinmusik 1977-2017

Ryan Adams - 1989

Chic - Chic

More party mixes recorded this morning...

At lunchtime, a walk to Fopp and, having been reminded by chum JB of its existence, I partook of Ryan Adams' cover album of Taylor Swift's "1989"...

It's good - but Taylor is better in my view...

Also purchased a 5CD box of Chic - reminded of their greatness by "Good Times" coming up in my recent compiling...

I had all of these on vinyl in the late 70's /early 80's - the debut was the one which was new to me...

I'd always considered this to be their best...

However, upon listening to these in the early hours of tomorrow morning...

...and despite the presence of the big hit singles on "Risque", these last two are probably better...

Weird...

Other than some listening, the evening was spent watching TV...

To bed post midnight with Chic on the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Rediscovering Chic...

Cloudland Blue Quartet said...: I like the Ryan Admas - gives a new perspective to the songs. Been doing some "Xmas Party" podcasts this week and "Automatic" was included - for its partyness not its Christmasness...; 5:25 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!
