I love discovering new (to me) music and artists. This week I’ve been tripping out on this song:
Chromatics - Lady (Extended Version)
which has led me to discover their catalog. So far my favorite album is:
Chromatics - Night Drive
Another week gone by, another 3 albums I’ve enjoyed especially much.
First off we have Sophie Milman’s self titled album. Sophie Milman is probably my favorite female jazz vocalist, I absolutely adore her voice. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this album other than it sounds good.
Next I want to recommend Yello’s album “Toy”, their latest album from 2016. I’m sure more or less everybody in here already knows Yello, but I figure maybe not everyone knows about their latest music (?). Toy is a super fun album to listen to, chock full of bangers like Electrified II, Tool Of Love, Dialectical Kid, and Magma (I really like Yello, if that wasn’t obvious).
Finally I’ll once again recommend something a little more obscure/something people are less likely to have heard (of). It’s an electronic album by a Ukrainian artist named Tineidae called “Random Signal Analysis”. I’ll just let people listen for themselves but this is really relaxing to me, personal favorite is the song Initial Phase.
I’ve been on a Blink-182 kick lately…this album in particular has a lot of memories for me
So much going on here. A lot of depth, and musical textures.
You have me listening to Milman. Thank you. I knew her name, but had never really listened. When Agua de Beber came on, that made me go back to the first version I recalled, from Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66. I think Milman comes on 2nd on that comparison, but her version of Take Me Out to The Ball Game is great.
I will be listening to more of her.
Was not familar with Yello. Some of it is interesting, but I’m not a fan of the vocal styling.
I have to say, “Dinosaurs in Love” has been in heavy rotation this week.
Milman is one of my favorites as well. Have many if not all her albums. I like Nikki Parrott, Katie Melua, Sinne Eeg, Lori Lieberman, Diana Krall, and especially Jane Monheit. We will see Monheit in concert in March.
In a progressive rock kinda mood.
Two excellent soundtracks for two amazing movies!!!
For the Akira you have to be on the mood for it. Ghost in the Shell (1995) is more easy, but still, wonderful !!
Speaking of film music (a distinct undertow here), this collaboration between organist Larry Goldings and Scary Pockets is an homage to Quentin Tarantino. All it needs is a film to back…
This is the first cover of Agua de Beber I ever heard…and IMO it’s still the best (performed with the author of the song):
This is another good Gilberto…

This one is a good one but it isn’t on Qobuz =( it has me bobbing my head =)
My latest addiction song, I keep coming back to this one, and seeing as how we are up late listening to music I’ll share it before really going to bed lol
Great track! Listening to it now with my morning cup of joe!
Love Bebel’s version, that husky voice. She has this music in her blood, and it really shows.
Here’s a different interpretation of this song by Brad Mehldau, a brilliant, dreamy deconstruction of this beautiful harmony.
Love how he switches hands, first the left doing bass/harmony & the right doing melodic lines, then the reverse–so we get melodic improvisation from a lower register of the piano than usual.
Very cool!
Talk about musicianship.
