"Music Night" with Beat_Dominator

It's Friday afternoon...I'm hijackin' this.

Gov't Mule - The Deep End, vol 1.

Part of a two-disc live/studio tribute they did following the death of former bassist Allen Woody...some gems on these.

 
Ok tonight I'm gonna start off with Steely Dan's "Gaucho" SACD. A lot of people say Aja was their best effort but to me this is a more "fun" album....and that captures my view of Steely Dan better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ok last up tonight is "The Avalanche" from Sufjan Stevens. This stuff is weird but pretty genius in it's own way, I find it relaxing.

This album is like a B-side to his album "Illinois". Oddly enough he likes to use a recorder in his music, so it's a pretty good segue from the Tull album //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Nah, as long as he is for real and listening to this stuff, gives people new ideas of stuff to listen to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Agreed, nice thread.

 
Well work is kickin' my *** this week so I don't think I'll play my usual 3-4 albums tonight.

I'm going to start off with some Orchestral work..... The Ubiquitous "The Planets" by Holst.

This is the MoFi SACD version, there are like a billion to choose from out there, but I wanted an SACD version.

I didn't like the Susskind version //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The recording is fine, but how it's played is just...meh.

The Charles Dutoit/Montreal Symphony Orchestra version kicks ***...the Telarc one with the Atlanta Symphony isn't bad either. But the MSO has the best version of "Mars" and "Jupiter" I've heard.
