Christa Ludwig, Otto Klemperer, Philharmonia Orchestra - Wagner: Wesendonck Lieder

Reginald Goodall and ENO Orchestra and Chorus - Wagner: Gotterdammerung (Twilight Of The Gods) (Sung In English)

Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan - Wagner: Der Ring Des Nibelungen

The Decca Solti highlights or budget Haitink highlights sets will fill a Ring sized gap just fine for most people but every now and again I have to go the whole hog. It has been hard to escape the Wagner Borg ship this week and that has wiped out most other listening. Even then I haven't finished the whole thing. Resistance is futile.

Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone & London Vocal Project - Mirrors

Gets better by the week. Recommended for anyone with a soft spot for "Place Vendome" harmonies and the poetry of Stevie Smith but musically it is closer to the ECM aesthetic than the MJQ / Swingles. The Les Double Six version of Coltrane's Naima might be an even closer comparison. I could still do without two of the three Lewis Carroll tracks. This could have been one of the all time great tip-to-toe vocal jazz albums without them.

William Winant, Deborah Dietrich, Karen Rosenak, David Abel - Feldman : Rothko Chapel / Why Patterns

Graham Bond - The Sound Of 65 / There Is A Bond Between Us
Dave Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name....
Herbie Hancock- River, The Joni Letters
Eloy - Floating

Hookworms - Radio Tokyo 7"
Brilliant single!

Diaspora - Natacha Atlas
Some genuinely great moments on this 90’s album from the wonderful NA.

Aladdin Sane – David Bowie
A tribute to Trevor Bolder. As a friend said “it’s a sign we’re getting older when all our idols disappear”.

Head On – Die Haut
This 1992 album passed me by at the time, but it’s a great discovery. Features more guests than you could shake a stick at – Blixa Bargeld, Kim Gordon, Debbie Harry, Lydia Lunch, Alan Vega, etc.

LA Woman / Bright Midnight (Live In America) – The Doors
And I played these as a little tribute to Ray Manzarek. His autobiography might be so pretentious that it’s funny at times, but his playing is unrivalled. I heard Chris Evans play the full-length version of Light My Fire the following morning and I wasn’t far from having a tear in my eye hearing that fabulous lengthy instrumental break.

Nevermind – Nirvana
Played this again – loving hearing tracks Stay Away like with its Adrian Borland –like guitar stabs.

Rockers Meets King Tubbys In A Firehouse – Augustus Pablo
I heard the title track of this on Peel all those years ago and loved it. Bought this sometime afterwards and it’s still one of my fave reggae albums. The Uptown LP is much better known and I love that, too, but I’d probably go for this one out of the two. The track that really did it for me this week is Dub In A Matthews Lane Arena which closes side one. A dub classic. I posted it on FB and the sun came out! ; )

Also...
Rave-O-Lution – Julian Cope
Visitations - Clinic
Dead Magick – Dead Skeletons
Ancient Romans – Sun Araw
Colossal Youth – Young Marble Giants
