Another Day On Earth

The classical concert at the Cadogan Hall last tonight was fantastic. Good to get out and hear live classical music again, after a long child-induced break.

More 'Not Classical or Spoken' to get the most Tube-friendly selection:

Sealion II - Jethro Tull, from the interesting (but probably not essential) Nightcap compilation,
Serenade - Emiliana Torrini, first heard on Mark Radcliffe's show. I can't listen much to the new Radcliffe/Maconie, but what I have heard has been a bit disappointing - too much uneasy chat and limited playlist,
Manhattan Project - Rush, from the synth-led Power Windows album. I'm looking forward to the new Rush CD,
Bone Bomb - Brian Eno. Superb,
Ricordati di Me - Antonello Venditti, from my wife's collection,
Sy Borg - Frank Zappa. Just fabulous,
Pataphysical Introduction PtI - Soft Machine,
Noi - Nomadi, more Italian mid-70s rock,
Mustat Kengot (Black Shoes) - Varttina. I fell in love with and in Finland, and this is a great reminder of the spirit of Finnish folk/pop,
With Every Light - The Smashing Pumpkins,
L'Isola di Niente - PFM,
A Small Cigar - Jethro Tull,
Melt! - Siouxsie and the Banshees,
Blue Light - David Gilmour,
Imagining - GTR, the Hackett/Howe 'project',
Synesthesia (Extended Version) - Porcupine Tree - still no sign of my CD-WOW CD,
There Is A Mountain - Donovan,
Who's Grown Up Now - John Martyn,
Dangerous Curves (live) - King Crimson, a great (free) download track.

T - 3.5; M - 4.5; D - 2
