Wow!

My business life just got very busy again and I don't have much time to listen to (or get) new releases. But it seems I'll have to make time for this list. Many thanks for posting!

I've also been tracking posts in this thread:

Some interesting recommendations there, too. Let me know what you think...

A bit of patriotism heard only once a year, on the last night of the Proms.
Some buffoons are trying to stop it (for some obscure reason). Owing to COVID-19,
there's no audience so it will be an 'instrumental'.
This version is a bit of humour.

Love love Marc Almond and Soft Cell. Tainted Love and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye are such classics

You should maybe listen to 'Torch', a single release later tacked onto the remastered in 1996 'Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing' (US release) album from 1982, Almond's voice was pure and melodic (it still is), yet wretched and world-weary at the same time, it's a sadly ngelected classic, and so of its time.

Finlandia (Sibelius)

 

[ElectricBlue]

Lotta Sea Lice - Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile

Very quirky folk rock, distinctive voices - and Kurt (I think) plays great slide guitar.

Renaissance - Northern Lights

 

[Bramblethorn]

Sacra/Profana - Cars (A Socially Distant Choral Arrangement)

 

[litfan10]

Renaissance - Northern Lights

Love Renaissance! Ann Haslam has such an amazing voice and Jon Camp is one of the most underrated bassist ever.

Thanks for the fun memories

Book One

Outlaws of Ravenhurst

mix a Renaissance band with a decent eighties rock band, stir well and you get the idea of this band. Fun stuff!

Book Two

Outlaws of Ravenhurst

Gird your loins - six new prog releases tomorrow (that I know of) - highlights are Pineapple Thief and Rikard Sjoblom's other band Gungfly.

Ayreon - This Human Equation

Another sneak peek at the new album. As with the previous two, I'm not sure if I'm completely on board yet. The horns make me sit up all right.
