What Did You Buy?
(29-03-2024, 18:42)Ruby Wrote: Dave Sinclair's Stream. It popped up on an alert and will be the most costly CD I own - provided it actually arrives! The ZAR sucks, along with postal services - or non-services. I think it was only pressed in Japan or something along those lines and the CD is impossible to find. Holding thumbs it doesn't disappear in transit. Just love 'Sad Eyes' - Andy Latimer doing his thing too, on that track ...

Well glory hallelujah! The CD did actually arrive, prohibitive duties notwithstanding. I've been listening in the car. It's quite classical IMHO - piano ballads, lots of flute and wafty melodies, good voices, including Annie Haslam, but nothing that would stop the world from turning. Nicely packaged, I must say. And my favourite so far, after "Sad Eyes" (which I have to let be now for a bit), the very sedately paced "Always There" sung by one Martin Bacon who appears to be otherwise invisible - no idea who he is or whether he's sung on any other releases. Some Japanese sung lyrics at the end of the song by Chizuko Ura.

Finally - I have a friend coming to visit, from the UK, who can bring me some CD's, so have been able to purchase Dominic Miller's Vagabond and Terje Rydal and The Chaser's Blue. So easy to have delivered there by comparison to here, which is also prohibitively expensive in terms of postage and then import duty. ECM is on ball I must say. Yay!
