Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Right now: Marianne Faithful - Strange Weather. She kinda scares me a bit.
Preceeded by:
Tarentule - Atrium Musicae de Madrid(thanks Rushton!)
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans
Velvet Underground - Loaded - Under-rated late lp from them after John Cale's departure. More pop, hummable tunes; not the stuff of legends, but a solid album
Jefferson Airplane - Flight Log - One of my fav "best of compliations" that proves the diversity of the band
Copland - Bernstein - 3rd Sym
Connells - Boylan Heights - Quintessential late 80s&90s bar band that will appeal to fans of REM, Jayhawks, and Fountains of Wayne. Lots of jangly guitars, sarcasm & harmonies( a lot like life)
Cheers,
Spencer

Spencer - glad you liked the Tarantule; all of the recordings by Paniagua and the Atrium Musicum Madrid are worth acquiring if you enjoy early music. They are all exceptional performances of interesting music superbly recorded. Here are a few to watch for:

Musique Arabo-Andalouse (Music of Arabic-Spain of the 9th-13th Centuries), Harmonia Mundi HM 389

La Folia (collection og Spanish Renaissance Dances, with some fun with chain saws and a Land Rover thrown in), Harmonia Mundi HM 1050

La Spagna (Music of Spain from the 15th-17th Centuries), BIS LP 163/164

Villancicos (collection of rural Spanish songs, 15th-16th Centuries), Harmonia Mundi HM 1025

Tarantella (collection of Italian ancient dances), Harmonia Mundi HM 379 - the recording you listed above.
