For @slaw Not Boxer12 level obscure, but a less well known Van Morrison album: Hard Nose the Highway (1973) though the single, "Warm Love", might be familiar. "...and it's ever present everywhere, warm love." Critic Robert Christgau (who seems to hate everything and must knock back a coupla shots snake venom before writing) rated it a B- and said (quoting from Wikipedia), "The relaxed rhythms are just lax most of the time, the vocal surprises mild after Saint Dominic's Preview, the lyrics dumbest when they're more than mood pieces, and the song construction offhand except on 'Warm Love'." Regardless, I like it. But what do I know? I'm not a critic. |

@slaw The FM Future Games is a standard Reprise issue that I have had for 40 plus years. It is not bad or exceptional, but I have found certain qualities in the staging and voices that works well for me dialing in SRA. Not only a favorite but a tool in the toolbox... Recently upgraded to a dual tonearm turntable and have been trying to optimize some things. |
