Solomon Burke's final album.

Solomon Burke & De Dijk - Hold On Tight

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Possibly only Bob Dylan is up there - for me - with Robert Plant is making such great new music after their supposed hey-day. This one is just great, but then so are the three after this...

One of the great voices of Africa, and this compilation focuses on his funkier side. Well worth checking out.

Supergrass - I Should Coco, UK OG with 7"

I've only been a manager once at work, but when I look back I got one of the best records I've ever got as a leaving present. Found in Blackheath's Oxfam, I think, complete with the 7". Frightened my kids by turning this one up to 11 just now and still sounds grand...

Sylvan Esso ~ What Now

Wasn't my typical listening, but a friend recommended them to me a few years ago and I was hooked. This one has been on pretty constant rotation since it came out.

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

#85: Efterklang and the Danish National Chamber Orchestra - Performing Parades



When I discovered Efterklang about 10 years ago, I was blown away by their blend of art rock, post rock, folk music and electronica. Their debut LP, Tripper, was particularly influential in the development of my music taste at the time, but Performing Parades was a close second. I don't listen to them as often now, but this album still has some beautiful tunes, lush arrangements and passionate performances. The closer "Cutting Ice into Snow" is still one of the most beautiful depictions of the joy of living I have ever heard in a song.

Pedrinho - Aleluia, 1970s OG

There have been several great compilations of Cabo Verde recently on Analog Africa and Ostinato, but there is so much incredible music from this small group of islands. This is the first Cabo Verde album I got about a decade ago and it's still one of my favourites. It got a re-release last year and it's well worth a listen - it's pretty funky stuff (but his rarer Nhōs Dêxa De Contra Mintira is funkier) but it's just got some great tunes. And a bonus is to try to get as many other Cabo Verde albums pictured behind him on the cover (I think I've only got 3 or 4). Tracks on YouTube including this and my girlfriend's favourite, which is a slow one.
