Old and, indeed, new...

Playlist

Bartók - String Quartets (Alban Berg Quartet)
Dover Quartet - Haydn Bartok Zemlinsky Edinburgh Queens Hall 2018-08-06
Roedelius - Selbstportrait I
Roedelius - Selbstportrait II
Mark Wingfield, Markus Reuter, Asaf Sirkis, Yaron Stavi - The Stone House

This evening, I had the opportunity to go along to see Irish Post Rock band, And So I Watch You From Afar...

However, I eschewed this in favour of some new and old music at home, tonight being at last able to facilitate a digital reboot of these two excellent early Roedelius titles, originally acquired from Pick Up in Kassel in 1980 and 1981...

...along with a considerable number of other Roedeius titles still or previously owned on vinyl...

Also some excellent improvised music by jazz guitarist Mark Wingfield and his extremely talented ensemble...

And I "taped" Monday's string quartets from the BBC iPlayer for posterity...

And there was "Holby City" too...

So, it's all good...

Today's artwork, "Roedelius I & II"...

Highlight of the Day : New and old music...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

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!
