Dark work needs to be done...

Playlist

Wednesday already...

 ...and up late...

Working on "Dark" - had to reupload over 70 tracks - simplest way to get them in the right order post a rethink...

Breakfast...

Back to the machines...

Anne was off to Zumba...

More work on "Dark" - sleeve note writing, credits etc etc...

It's a virtual 5CD Box Set containing five different versions of the work, which is, essentially, a 51 minute Dark Orchestral Ambient piece...

Out this Friday, 5 June, it will be Free to Stream (main LP)/Name Your Price to Download (incl over 5hrs of bonuses)...

Meanwhile, someone (the Dancing Monk, not me) was playing Rubinmusik...

It's my music from 1977-2017...

A 40 year, 8 Volume, 82 track retrospective collection, including 62 previously unreleased/unavailable works and a 106 page PDF booklet of artworks...

Love Parade

The Dancers of San Martino

Call Me Clive

Crazy Wisdom

Creek

and

James Jamieson

You can get it here - again, Free to Stream / Name Your Price to Download...

Meanwhile, on this day 38 years ago, I remember this well...

Plus Scotland lost 3-1 in their opening World Cup Group match against Peru...

I also noted that, Cloudland Blue Quartet's latest collection, "Drift: 30 Slow Songs 1996-2026", is the 100th Crispycat Recording since the advent of lockdown, in Spring 2020, triggered a huge increase in my musicking...

Here they all are, from now back to May 2020...

9 more LPs (6 recorded in 2025) are due before the end of 2026...

Then, we'll see...

So far, 2026 has been a bit of a fallow period, new CBQ wise...

While the two year end compilations above still need to be compiled and "Disquietmusik X" will be recorded in November, I've not recorded anything new by CBQ for six months now...

More "Mindful Murders" this afternoon...

Later on, post some Warholisation...

...I decided to give this a wee spin...

...enjoying disc 1 before...

...a tasty tea...

Then, we finished off "Homeland" Season 2...

That's 24 of 96 episodes watched in the last few days (and I watched the first four twice, as I started the series before hooking Anne in)...

It is rather good...

Bed towards midnight...

...with some more Haydn just before I went...

Took ages to get to sleep...

Highlight of the Day: Getting "Dark" ready to go...
