Heinrich Schultz, Die Auferstehung unsres Herren Jesu Christi, Opus 3: Dresden (1623), I am listening to a different version via spotify.
@GermanProf - "I love Portnoy's drumming for Transatlantic." - Oh, I enjoy Portnoy, but there is so much there to hear that I am overwhelmed. Not sure how one human can do all that.
Another reason to like Bandcamp. I bought this last weekend I think, and left it downloading and left the computer. Crazy busy week ensued. Went looking for the file this morning and found the DL had been interrupted. Found the email with the link, and the download link was still active.
I tend to avoid downloading semi-legitimate live show albums off the web - usually the sound isn't that good and I do wonder about the provence of the recording, but this is from emusic. The only reason for me to download is that I was at the concert 25 years ago at the NRC Birmingham. By amazing luck we were in the second row of the audience - it has never happened to me since being so close at such a gig. It was initially released as a DVD and this is the soundtrack. Audio quality is satisfactory for such a recording - at least it is better than an audience recorded album. And some quality playing from EC, with Phil Collins on drums as part of the backing group. From memory Ry Cooder and Nils Lofgren were also part of the band for that tour
How weird... I was just revisiting the emusers Nick Drake thread for the first time in forever yesterday and read your post about Five Leaves Left. Back then, Drake's music wasn't available on emu, but I think it is now.
Wilson Huggett Project - "Field of Hope"
-Only a couple songs into it so far, and my first thought is that it's what I imagine what a Pharoah Sanders tribute album would sound like if composed by Brian Eno. But like I said, that's just a couple songs in... the sound (and my opinion) might change by album end.
Listening to a nice mix on soundcloud. Brighternow, you'd like this. Like Hecker or Fennesz mixed with piano. Mixed from bits of Fennesz, Sakamoto, Lawrence English, Windy & Carl, and a bunch of other less familiar names. Downloadable.
"Carlo Gesualdo (March 8, 1566 September 8, 1613), Prince of Venosa and Count of Conza, was an Italian nobleman, lutenist, composer, and murderer. As a composer of the late Renaissance, he is remembered for writing intensely expressive madrigals and sacred music that use a chromatic language not heard again until the late 19th century. The murders he committed are the most notorious carried out by any musician." (wikipedia) I understand he stabbed a man in Naples, just to watch him die.
@Plong42 - yes I agree, it is a fantastic album in my view
@Jonahpwll -it was Jason Parker's album that reintroduced me to the Nick Drake original, having forgotten about it. I had to download from Amazon, I think. When we do get the majors on emu in the UK he will be one of the artists I look out for. Talking about Jason Parker, I havn't played his version for a couple of months, so
Mike Scott returns with a new Waterboys album, An Appointment with Mr Yeats. He describes it as a culmination of a 20-year-old dream to "recontextualise the work of Ireland's most venerated poet, WB Yeats, by singing his words against a backdrop of gloriously full-tilt rock'n'roll."

Subantarctic Sessions by Deepspace
Freebie. Track one is very nice. The rest not quite up to that level.
Ass - "Ass"
-Great alt-folk album, bad album to have to google search an album cover image of.
Recent purchase from the mis-priced thread. I like this better than regular Stevie Wonder.

Listening to a preview stream of the new Waterboys album An Appointment with Mr Yeats available at http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/sep/16/waterboys-mike-scott A single, Sweet Dancer, is available on emusic so I am hoping the whole album will be there soon.
