Excellent stuff here Pragi.....thanks and will listen to more of Marquette.

Here's a lovely one for the folkies - Dick Gaughan singing The Banks Of Green Willow, which is as far as I know either an English or a Scottish folk song. I love his Scottish folk style of ornamentation in the vocal, it's quite beautiful, and the guitar is very nice as well. In fact I wonder how much of the modern black R&B style of singing has its roots in Scotland. It's already been established that gospel singing originated from Scotland, but when I hear the ornamentation traditional Scottish singers like Dick Gaughan I can't help but compare it to the kind of fancy vocal ornamentation you hear in modern R&B and soul music too. 
 

Some nice reverb washed ambient guitar music from Plaid featuring Benet Walsh.....I really ought to have a playlist of this sort of stuff for when I'm winding down before bed....
 
Mind you, the odd panning of the bass makes for a slightly strange experience on headphones.

Love Gaughan's voice, I remember being spellbound by his singing when I heard Five Hand Reel in the early '70's. Learned to play 'Haughs of Cromdale' but never got around to recording it. Might still do that one day. Always liked their version of Ae Fond Kiss by Robbie Burns (that's Bobby Eaglesham singing tho)
 

I enjoyed both of those very much.....there's just something about the Scottish/Irish folk songs that have a way of bringing out deep meanings and emotions of their songs. My father used to love singing old Irish songs and although I didn't appreciate them when I was younger, I've certainly had a change of heart.

Listening to their discography now...
 

 
This is the band where the term "Shoegaze" was coined for (because they all apparently just stared at their pedals when playing live).

I was 7 years old when this song came out and like most little boys in the UK at that time I had some very mysterious feelings whenever Kate Bush came on the TV. LOL! Just look at those eyes though....she was mesmerizing.
...

Goodness ... been listening to her since her first single ... I think it was "Wuthering Heights" and the "50 Words for Snow" is one of the best albums of the year for my tastes ... she just gets better and better. In "50", there is a certain freedom from the song format in a couple of the pieces where the drumming from Steve Gadd is just amazing and insane ... totally out there, spacey, progressive ... there is no word for it! One of the truest poetess' for our time ... and in music even! Go figure!
 
"Snowflake"  9:482.
"Lake Tahoe"  11:08
"Misty"  13:32
"Wild Man"  7:17
"Snowed in at Wheeler Street"  8:05
"50 Words for Snow"  8:31
"Among Angels"  6:49
 
Enjoy it!

Floating Points is one of my all time favorite artists to mix electronica with live instruments and his music is a real trip. Guy has a jazz background but also knocks out some sick beats (urgh....I said sick beats).
 
This is a stunning live performance of his latest work and I think it's amazeballs.

Hmm...  I don't have that one, is it new?  I'll have to check it out later.

 
Release date 22/06/16

 

 
Took a break from Zep.  Liked the live Kraan and the new Floating Point.  Not sure what discography I'll put on next so this is an "interlude" album. 

Really liking tonight's selections! 
 
I don't want to go to bed (except I've got some actual work tomorrow... figures.).
