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
John Abercrombie - Timeless
I have not listened to this for a while and forgot how good it sounds.

Stan Getz - Jazz Samba
Say no more
Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow - Snowed in on Wheeler Street
Bonnie Raitt - Streetlights - That song about the Midway and Rainy Day Man
Hall & Oates - Sara Smile
Dire Straits - "On Every Street" - Vertigo 140g vinyl; much overlooked last Dire Straits studio LP. Great sonics, great music. "You and Your Friends" is down right spooky sonically!

Rob Wasserman - "Duets" MCA 140g vinyl; incredible recording, audiophile classic

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - "Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds". Mute 180g double LP; if you haven't heard some Nick Cave, you are missing out!
My Polk LSi9s image ambient/electronica/etc. really well, and the Parasound HCA-1500A that I recently picked up really makes them sing - a significant improvement over my old Adcom GFA-545.

As a result, I'm listening to a lot of the aforementioned genre(s)...there's a collaboration between Stephan Mathieu and Taylor Deupree called Transcriptions, that's really a pleasure to listen to, at low/moderate volume, in my smallish room. Kind of can't stop listening to it. Also listening to Mathieu's cd, Radioland. And other things in that vein.

And when I get up tomorrow morning, I'll crank up some Flipper to get my head on straight.
