Beethoven - Piano Trios 1-6 (Decided to investigate an area of LVB's oeuvre I hadn't tried yet, but these only occasionally grabbed me. Does anyone else find that despite having been brought up appreciating and loving many great works of classical music, a lot of it still sounds generic and purely academic? Perhaps my musical palate has been 'spoiled' by mostly listening to all this modern rubbish).

Paul Simon - Graceland (Hadn't played this in years, but the time seemed right given its 30th anniversary. I was surprised how vital much of it still sounds, particularly the first 4 or 5 tracks. I'd forgotten how good 'I Know What I Know' is. The Ladysmith Black Mambazo moments perhaps unfairly sound a bit dated to me, probably because back in the 80s they suddenly became the most identifiable sound of 'World Music', and that riff on 'You Can Call Me Al' sounded cheesy even then).
Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints (This is the one I go back to more often. The songs aren't always as strong, but the rhythms and guest musicians are often sublime).

The Fiery Furnaces - Bitter Tea

Paul Giovanni/Magnet - The Wicker Man (Silva Screen)
Gheorge Zamfir/Bruce Smeaton - Picnic At Hanging Rock OST

Elgar - The Dream Of Gerontius (Watched Penda's Fen on the BFI's new Blu-Ray release this week and after years of replaying a 3rd generation VHS it felt like watching it for the first time. What a magnificent TV drama it is, and it again prompted me to give Gerontius another listen, the same box set Spencer Banks' character owns in the film. Not usually a fan of the operatic singing style featured in this work, but there are many thrilling moments to hold the interest, even when not treated to a Radiophonic Workshop remix).

Van Dyke Parks - Song Cycle
