Between booster sales and birthdays and big box sets I ended up a little while back with about 9GB of new music, and set myself to listen to it all at least twice before spending too much time in the rest of my library. I am done now, and while I like the new music, I do feel kind of released - I can listen to anything I like!
Maddy Prior and her daughter Rose Kemp discuss how music has taken them in different directions - the link is for a podcast version of the first of two programmes.
This is one of my all time favourite albums. I love the fusion between rock and jazz with all the enthusiasm coming through on their first album. If anyone could introduce me to something similar today, please do let me know
One of my first Bandcamp purchases as it happens, cheap at half the price, not necessarily essential but a nice opener to Potter's music if you only know him through the NWW connection.
Spent a happy evening rediscovering CDs that I have not listened to for a while and in some cases had forgotten I had because they are in simple cardboard sleeves and become virtually invisible on the CD shelves. Albums by En, Illuha and Offthesky.

Thanks Lowlife, the cover prompted me to follow up - quite pleasant but different so far. It must be the Geographer in me that likes such images!
I enjoyed the above album. A couple of tracks reminded me of this great 1960s album, so time to play it again

Really enjoying this a lot; no idea what to call it or compare it too. NYOP and worth a spin.
