What's Spinning

[ElRifus]

#1161 Kenny Dorham - Matador - Hard Bop

 

[POGunter]

More new music. Nasty outside today. Iced in and it just keeps coming down. Looks slick out there but the electric power is steady.

Continuing with unplayed catalogue...


Sade - Diamond Life



My least favorite of the first four. Still obvi great.

Onwards...


V/A - Virtual Dreams II - Ambient Explorations in the House & Techno Age: Japan 1993-1999



One of MFM's finest compilations. A wholly different take on techno, even different from the IDM/ambient techno scene from the more prominent names on Warp Records.

Collection playthrough #1094

Taeko Ohnuki - Mignonne
Great Tracks reissue (2024)

This album was a highlight of the “@Rip_City ’s Secret Santa’s great city pop deep dive of 2024” - so when I saw it at my local today, I had to grab it. Expensive, but cut by Bernie Grundman and pressed at Sony Japan, so a true audiophile reissue.

Nothing formal - but a very good starting point is the Pacific Breeze LITA comps. That and just looking up “best city pop albums” - from there, you can get a sense of who you like and what’s available. Let me know if you start digging in and find anything you recommend!

I've heard and picked up a lot of great compilations this year but this one wins, hands down.
