What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Glad you liked them, @jafant -
The Haines was purchased as a 3 CD "box". His music seems a hybrid of neoclassical/modern composition and ambient.

The Danny Norbury (if your comment extends back to that posting) is more purely neoclassical, though A Closer Listen called it ambient. I disagree. It’s available at Bandcamp as download or CD from Flau who reissued it with some extra tracks from Norbury’s EP, Dusk.

Two Blocks from the Edge is another well done studio recording from Michael Brecker as band leader. Compared to Tales from the Hudson, however, I think Brecker’s solos on Two Blocks are more rambling and less focused...but who am I to criticize such an excellent musician. What I really enjoy on Two Blocks is Joey Calderazzo’s piano (he’s also on Tales).

Finally, E.S.T. - if you haven’t spent time exploring this trio’s music, you will be rewarded if you do. Esbjorn Svensson is a fine, fine pianist and his (their) compositions cover a range of styles. Check this one out...a live, extended version of the previously posted studio version of Behind the Yashmak. Stand up bass during the intro could be louder. Ear buds will help.

I will check out 'Two block from the Edge'.  "Tales from the Hudson" is a killer, A-list, line-up.Happy Listening!
