Whats playing on your system today?

Right now, Massive Attack's Mezzanine. I needed the groove.

But @ghosthouse planted the Jean Luc Ponty seed so I'll queue up Tidal's Enigmatic Oceans next.

And @nutty had to mention Steely Dan and I thought it's been a couple weeks since that awful voice and amazing music came through my speakers so maybe Fagen's The Nightfly will suffice.

@dbtom2 - I’ll see your "Enigmatic Ocean" and raise you a couple of Sugar Cane Harris, "Keyzop" and "Sugar Cane’s Got the Blues". Harris is a bluesier player but maybe not as refined or technically proficient as JLP. More soul, though (for me at least). Found Engimatic Ocean on Spotify. Listening now. The SCH you might have to go to You Tube to find if you are interested.

ghosthouse, 

Never heard of The Stars of the Lid or Eple Trio, need to look them up. 
I like Zappa and Jean-Luc. However the jury is out on King Kong for now :^)
Alao I'm glad you like Rick Braun. 
Now I need to listen to more Sugar Cane Harris, but I  did ses this:

thepigdog, 
Billy Gibbons is great! The keyboards are a nice addition. The set really has some flavor. I'm ordering the CD.  

abtom2,

I need to research Massive Attack. But thanks for mentioning Enigmatic Oceans. Never heard that Jean-Luc before. Its fantastic. My first was Civilized Evil and Demagomania was a great cut. But Enigmatic Oceans is clearly better.

My Roon/HQPlayer/Tidal hookup hiccuped and my queue went away as track and track attempted to play and disappeared. Had to Force Quit Roon and restart the MacMini. I took this to mean the audio gods felt that Steely Dan had been played enough on my system. (It is also atypical for my setup; Roon w/ Tidal are consistently reliable players for me. But HQPlayer upsampling to DSD can use alot - ALOT! - of CPU resources.)

So I listened to Steve Gunn’s Time Off and the few tracks from his new album via Tidal, an EP called Ancient Jules. Under-acclaimed guitarist-songwriter in my opinion.

@ghosthouse I found Don "Sugarcane" Harris on Tidal but most of his work is embargoed for me here in USA. Thank goodness for YouTube and the HDMI output of my MacMini so I was able to listen to "Liz Pineapple Wonderful", "Sugarcane’s Got The Blues", "Song For My Father", and some others whose names fell off the screen. Wow. Time to research acquiring my own copies of his music. At certain moments, I had this weird expectation the song would transition into "Orange Blossom Special" but that’s just me conceptualizing the unfamiliar into the familiar. Thanks for the heads up on this artist.

@ghosthouse I have to followup and say that Don "Sugarcane" Harris' version of Eleanor Rigby simply rocks it. Tidal has his "Essential Blues Masters" album and I forgot it was still in my Roon queue. There are songs that simply deserve to not be any shorter than 11:52. His Eleanor Rigby is one. Thanks again.
