Some classic tunes in a new and different "package" :music:
Clearly not for everyone but I really like them.
I like how they kept structure, rhythm and melodies of the songs as original. Different presentation brings up different aspects of the songs, I find it to be also respectful to the composers, writers of the original songs.
The Very Best of George Benson. Audio CD. Good recording and great music.

Everything that TIDAL has by these guys. Discovered the Clashification Of Dub a few years ago, a dub/trance take on Clash songs, but their other albums, Physical Echoes, Too Big To Fail, Nitro etc are all good too.
TBH I didn't think to look for them on TIDAL til recently. Glad I did.
Audio quality is very good - audiophile league easily. If you like reggae beats/bass and/or trance check them out.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (James Horner)
Early in his career and his second foray into the world of Star Trek, this is a fantastic score from the late, very great James Horner. This “Newly Expanded Edition” provides both the original 43 minute LP tracks (remastered), and the expanded score, as intended for the film. This latter is a big improvement if, like me, you prefer more complete musical passages vs. the abbreviated versions often found in film score releases – see below.
Guardians of the Galaxy Deluxe (Tyler Bates)
A mix of short and somewhat longer passages from the film. Good stuff, but maybe the best part of this “Deluxe” version is the inclusion of Quill’s "Awesome Mix" – everything from Blue Swede’s Hooked on a Feeling to Marvin Gaye’s Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – all wonderfully remastered to modern standards.
The Huntsman Winter’s War (James Newton Howard)
Newton Howard’s another composer I can’t get enough of. Both this and the earlier Snow White and the Huntsman are musically and sonically superb, although some of the cuts are fairly brief.
Finding Dory (Thomas Newmann)
A really interesting score for both content and SQ, if somewhat hard to describe…. 34(!) brief cuts, basically symphonic but containing remarkable electronic (and other) effects, which blew my mind more than a few times. Just don’t expect to get lost in the tunes, à la Horner.

Brand new album by The Pineapple Thief, Your Wilderness.
First cut on the album:
Crisp and clear, lovely harmonies often mellow and haunting. These guys keep getting better and better.

Ken,
My current fave is Hans Zimmer. Thin Red line is excellent as well as many others he has created.

Hi Gordon,
Yup, he's definitely in the top tier. I have TRL, as well as Man of Steel and Gladiator.
Spinnin' some Tragically Hip on the Thorens, I recently heard Gord, the lead singer has an inoperable brain tumor and this will be their last tour as a band, I can't even speak about how sad I am about his health, must be a really hard thing to give all you have for your fans in your last days...over and over!! What an impressive man!!
This young woman just stole my heart, We' McDonald on the show 'The Voice' , Took me waaay back to my daze in Dallas TX, south side and lift me up!

Listening to some old favorites today. Now up is the Stills - Young Band, "Long May You Run", 33.3 rpm. Hard to believe that I've owned this record for 41 years!

Eva Cassidy, "Nightbird", vinyl. Blix Street Records. Excellent live recording.
Thanks for the recommendation. Really enjoying this so far.
Simple Minds - Once Upon A Time - 5.1 BluRay
This along with the Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair on 5.1 BluRay are my '80's flashback albums now that they are remixed in HighRez multichannel. The 'Alive and kicking' track sounds really good on this recording, with aggressive use of the surrounds.
Enjoying it with a nice tea in my ML cup
