Not heard this for years - CD was on ebay for £3.04.
   Sounds great on new hifi - textures sound amazing.
Recorded in 1971....

Currently saving up for a new amp so not buying much new music.
   So exploring my collection in a different way - listening to different artists music in release order.
Currently working through Micheal Stearns - Sustaining Cylinders, Baraka, Planetary Unfolding and Sacred Site...
Also Light in the Trees - from the Amplexus 3"CD releases

Sustaining Cylinders is underrated IMO. It might be the best of his pre-Planetary Unfolding stuff.

Rymo - Kinetic

I got to see them perform live last Saturday (Live music! With an audience!) at the Ritz Theater in Encinitas and it was a terrific show. Also an excellent fusion album.

Frank Zappa - Zappa in New York
The 5-cd extravaganza, I'm still wading through it, but the sound quality is amazing, the performances are vintage Zappa and the band is top-notch. I'm just waiting on the release of the Last US Show '88 compilation next month. The Zappa Family Trust has at least 2 more releases planned for 2021, so it's a good year to be a FZ fan.

I really enjoyed listening to the album, especially the subtle manipulations of the ocean sounds.

Been listening to all sorts of stuff recently:
Lygeti - Requiem
Charles Mingus - Live in Carnegie hall
Eva Cassidy - Nightbird
The Gloaming - 3 albums
Roach and Unis - Body Electric
Roach - A Deeper Silence
Obmana and Die - Echo passage
Rhiannon Giddens - They're Calling me Home
Klaus Schulze - Cyborg, Moondawn and Body Love 1
George Michael - Older
Carolyn Hillyer - Weaving the Land
Nigel Shaw - Requiem: Well of Souls
plus a whole schlew of stuff picked up by perusing charity shops - Katie Melua, Alison krauss, Dvorak.....
   The shops have loads of stuff to wade through, but if i buy 4 for £1 and only like 1 or 2 it's a great bargain - those not liked go back to the shops.

one of my favourite tracks to play (often first on the CD player) when home from work is Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Inkanyezi Nezazi. Stunning song

Been listening to this today, again.
If you made a venn diagram of electronic, orchestral, soundtrack, house, experimental, industrial, ambient, sequencer and music concrete it would sit in the centre - not specifically or even mainly one of them but somehow all of them.
   Its a really good speaker work out too...

In the liner notes it describes how, due to the nature of the film, they needed some things forwards as well as backwards....for the soundtrack the orchestra members received scores that were rewritten in reverse, including all timings, notations and instructions.
   This was then used at times for the 'reverse' sections of the film as well as being reversed and used for the 'forward' sections.

Similarly the main actor had to learn the same fight sequences in 4 'modes' - as he was fighting himself he had to learn himself forwards and backwards as well as his reversed state forwards and backwards.....

I have seen the name Eluvium around but never connect until yesterday when I got this cd from Bandcamp.  Very special guitar drones and ambiences from 2005......https://eluvium.bandcamp.com/album/talk-amongst-the-trees

Samual Barber :: Adagio for Strings

Possibly the most beautiful 8 + minutes of music ever written?.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3MHeNt6Yjs
