After a (weeks) worth of listening...


What lp would you recommend the most to other members here?

I belong to several music threads and have gained much knowledge and have just as much to share..

Here is a chance to post what you've imagined is your (one) most enjoyable moment/lp of the past week of listening.


Having to choose, right now, and getting this thread started, I'd choose..

Gary Wright "The Dream Weaver"

I share your appreciation for Beck's "Morning Phase".  The arrangements along with song writing and musicianship are truly excellent.  Note that his father is credited for string arrangements.  If you've not listened, try his "Sea Change".  Somewhat similar in feel to "Morning Phase".  These are the only 2 recordings by Beck that I own.  Wish he'd round them out as a "trilogy".

+1 @reubent, @ghosthouse ,

I recently listened again. One of his great lps for sure. I've always been a big fan of "Mutations".
@slaw 
OK.  Thanks.  I'll give Mutations a try.  Never listened to it before.

Are you or @reubent into Moby at all?  I am totally clueless (and happily so, I think) about the IDM/club scene but Innocents and, to a lesser degree, Wait For Me are occasionally enjoyed.  
@ghosthouse and @slaw - I don't have Mutations, but I will check it out. I'm slowly building a complete catalog of all of Beck's standard studio records.

GH, I'm aware of Moby, and I hear his work occasionally on Radio Paradise. However, I've have not yet invested any time or effort into exploring his work. Am I missing anything? 
@slaw 
Diggin' Mutations right now (1st track, Cold Brains, anyway).  Thanks for the recommendation.  The sound and feel are more similar than expected to Morning Phase & Sea Change.  Not sure what year it came out relative to MP and SC, but maybe this completes the trilogy I was hoping for.

@reubent 
Beauty is in the ear of the listener, I suppose and I don't know his full catalog by any means (hence my comment about the IDM/club scene).  Innocents works for me and I'd suggest it as a place to start even if not typical of the rest of his catalog.  Sonics could be better but I like the feel of many of the tracks.  Especially Track 3, Almost Home, with Damian Jurado on vocals.
