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".

Quadro Nuevo, Mocca Flor and Antakya, and before that,
Stacey Kent, Raconte-moi...
"Build Me Up From Bones" - Sarah Jarosz
"Macca Flor" - Quadrod Nuevo
"Prologue" - The Milk Carton Kids.
The Milk Carton Kids-"The Ash & Clay"
Rhiannon Giddens-"Tomorrow Is My Turn"

I never thought I'd find myself turning to simple folk music but it's so simple, truthful and rewarding when done right. Beautiful, actually.
I just listened to Anouar Brahem's "The Astounding Eyes of Rita" at what I think were live levels (to heck with the neighbors this time) and was gobsmacked by what I heard. 

What joy.

All the best,

It's been too long since I've heard this and since my recent system upgrades, well worth the wait.

John Fahey, America.
I can see why he’s considered the father of American Primitive music.
Simply beautiful in it’s simplicity and spareness and yet so absorbing and fulfilling in it’s execution.

It makes a lot of music seem a bit overwrought.

Glenn Jones, Fleeting.

All the best,
