Thread: The Non-Classical 'I'm Currently Listening To...' Topic

John Philip Sousa, Looking Upward Suite. Keith Brion leading the Royal Artillery Band on a Naxos CD.

(Or does this belong in the classical section?)

Glenn Miller - The Golden Years: Disc 3

It's a real sadness that there's only four discs to go at.

Genesis



My favorite Genesis piece - Firth of Fifth. I like the live version in Seconds Out better than studio one.

John Coltrane Quartet--Crescent

A blast from the past: back to my school days! Cranberries: No Need to Argue. I never even heard the whole CD the last time around, dug it out of my collection. I think it's my sisters actually.

Also, Rise Against: Unraveling. Their debut album. It's ok, very rough sound. My least favorite of their albums. But in general I love Rise Against, so I was interested in hearing their roots.

This was the best album to come out of the whole Seattle craze.

I will fist fight anyone who says it wasn't.*




*No I won't.

Fantastic album. AIC were in my top five favorite bands back in the day. I can't quite say they've held that spot, but I still really really like their music. Their acoustic stuff (Sap, Jar of Flies) was actually pretty awesome as well as their heavier stuff. I still have most of their albums I do believe.

Yesterday I listened to Rory Gallagher, BBC Sessions. Right now I'm continuing on some blues, with the Best of Johnny Winter on Spotify.

Grateful Dead Albany, NY 3/26/90

A hypnotic dreamy acid groove from Laurent Garnier

Terje Rypdal-Unfinished Highballs disc from the Odyssey box. Some great modern big band music if you like prog rock, fusion, and modern jazz. Lots of great soloing on electric piano, moog, trumpet, guitar, etc. Here's a preview.
