What CD are you listening to right now?

[r100gs]

Just bought a Brian Simpson, "It's all Good" cd. Wow! ;x( Very nicely recorded.

[cuda65]

Joss Stone and James Blunt both very good CD's

[Alaric]

Cd-r

Right now I'm listening to a CD-R with The Motels , Natalie Merchant , The Kinks (live) and Patti Smith. With a nice Blues Traveler and Meatloaf finish.

[JonMarsh]

Emily Remler, (jazz guitarist), "East and Wes". Concord records.

The unfortunate thing seems that her best and last album, "This is Me" is out of print.

[abqnmusa]

Attention Defecit A rock/jazz fuzion group with bassit Michael Manring.

[audiofan]

Badi Assad: Rythm

[Kingdaddy]

Blackfield-Scars

Best disk out last year IMO, Steve Wilson of Porcupine Tree and some Israeli pop singer together for some great harmonic mood music, best purchase in the last 5 years for me, every song is good.

[Chris D]

Daddy, is that the most recent Porcupine Tree album that's being touted on the DTS website, or something else?

[Shane Martin]

James Blunt's Back to Bedlam.

Fantastic CD.

[tboooe]

Beth Orton...

[audioqueso]

Jessica Simpson: Sweet.... just kidding.
I've actually been hooked to a rap CD lately (I like rap, but I usually don't like rap albums)

Lil Wayne - The Carter 2
Incredible album. If you that like rap, or even a bit, get it.
Definitely one of the best rap albums I've heard in years.

[JürgenW]

Rolando Villazon - Italian Opera Arias
His first cd, as far as I know.
I saw him last summer in Covent Garden in La Boheme; wasn't crashed by his voice.
This cd lets hear a better voice, but sometimes he sings too - what shall I call it? - 'mannered'. If he would do it in a more straightforward way it would sound even better.

[george_k]

Sir Mix-A-Lot - Mack Daddy, ...classic :-P

[Kingdaddy]

Daddy, is that the most recent Porcupine Tree album that's being touted on the DTS website, or something else?

If you mean this one

http://www.dtsonline.com/entertainment/catalogue/music.php?upc=692860113091

Then yes, I have it and it is quite excellent, the DTS tracks have far better bass resolution then the redbook version which is evident a very loud listening levels.

[KeithM]

Blind guardian- nighfall in middle earth. Awsome CD, but cost me 35 to get it imported.

[r100gs]

Don't stop! Keep it rolling. Right now, Peter White "Confidential". Great album. Better yet, great recording. :T

[cobbpa]

Say Anything ...is a Real Boy

I don't know if should suggest this indie-rock album to anyone or not, it's a love it or hate it album. But if you enjoy this kinda music...boy howdy. 8)

[Briz vegas]

Mozart Requiem, revised and completed by Robert D Levin.

Its my 4th classical music cd. One day I would like to be able to afford some B&W 800 series speakers so I need to cultivate an appropriate musical taste. Otherwise I have been listing to the Ravonettes which I picked up on Friday. "Love in a trashcan" is the only track that really does it for me, much of the rest of the album is a bit too poppy n nice. I prefer the Dandy Warhol's relatively rougher edge to my pop.

Now where was I, 1791........not such a bad year for music!

[Briz vegas]

Oh forgot to ask Tboooe, were you listening to the latest Beth Orton? If so what do you think. I like "Stolen Car" and "She cries your name" from her earlier stuff.

[r100gs]

Richard Elliot, "Metro Blues", nice! Hell my HDCD light is even on. I knew I paid extra for that little light. Musical tastes alike, it's just nice to listen to a well recorded CD.

[David G]

Bic Runga - Birds. Love it!
Currently number 1 in New Zealand

[Race Car Driver]

John Mayer, Heavier things always is nice to listen too when waking up.

[rav934]

Check out mapleshade recordings. They are so good that its diffiuckt to listen to other brands.

[tboooe]

Bic Runga is great! i just got her live album. along the same lines give a listen to Vienna Teng. Awesome vocalist.

[miner]

Les Paul & Friends - American Made, World Played
Beth Hart - Screamin' For My Supper

[David Meek]

Beth Hart. Good album. I saw her as the lead-in act for Jonny Lang a couple of years ago. She's scary looking, but puts a lot into her music.

[tec333]

Sound Track from Good Night and Good Luck. It's pretty good.

Tec

[Glen]

Cradle Of Filth : Damnation and a Day.

Amazing concept album. Full orcestra, full choir. Very powerful album. I've been spinning it for almost a year now and haven't tired of it. :T

[Grasynoll]

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot...Wilco

[JonMarsh]

Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow SACD

[DifferentLee]

Marta Gomez Entre Cadra Palabra, her new release on Chesky Records. Gorgeous music.

[r100gs]

Nils, "Pacific Coast Highway". I'm getting lucky, my little HDCD light is on again.

[wkhanna]

Pat Matheney and Marion McPartland, on her NPR weekly show, Piano Jazz', on my newly aquired Magnum Dynalab FM receiver. The seperation, stage, and gennerl SQ still have my jaw on the floor.

[twitch54]

No CD, Viynl baby !!!

Spinn'in LP's - Chuck Mangione - Children of Sanchez

[wkhanna]

The Flaming Lips ‘At War with the Mystics’.
A bit ‘Uber Pop’ for my taste, but worth the price of admission.

[Burke Strickland]

At this moment, I am listening to a delightful Archiv Produktion "4D" CD 447 644-2 of Baroque music, Concerti "per l'orchestra di Dresda" (Concertos for the Dresden Court Orchestra) with the Musica Antiqua Koln directed by Reinhard Goebel playing works by Heinichen, Dieupart, Fasch, Pisendel, Quantz and Varacini. Not household names, but in their time, they were peers of, and competitors for court favor with, Telemann, Vivaldi and other (today) more well known Baroque composers. Superb sound, stellar playing, engaging performances of the music.

Just before that -- Warren Zevon "Excitable Boy". That's the album that introduced us to "Werewolves of London". But it also contains several other clever and memorable songs worth hearing again, including "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner", "Accidentally Like A Martyr", and "Johnny Strikes Up The Band". The macabre title song could be about stories in today's headlines. But it isn't, because the album was first released almost 30 years ago (on vinyl, of course), and unfortunately, Warren isn't around to comment on current events any more.

Blue Man Group DVD-A: Sing Along with Dave Matthews

[Chris D]

Good one, Race Car, I like the depth in the Blue Man albums.

[Burke Strickland]

...I like the depth in the Blue Man albums.

Are you referring to sonic quality or the insightfulness of their lyrics?

John Zorn's Electric Masada -- At the Mountains of Madness

Very intense & twisted prog / fusion / 'out-there' instrumental material.

Hope the neighbors are far, far away at a nice quiet easter dinner.

[Chris D]

ah, no, not the lyrics, just the depth of the sound. Not just flashy percussion, but deep bass, groovy rythms, etc.

[Burke Strickland]

ah, no, not the lyrics, just the depth of the sound

He he, I was hoping that was the case. :> ) I have several recordings that SOUND great but are, ahem, "lyrics-challenged". In some cases, they are a lot of fun to listen to because they are not "serious". One good example is "Red Elvises". I take their "I Wanna See You Belly Dance" album to audition equipment, but I'd never take them to a philosophy class. :>)

I heard the song "Obsession Confession" by the guitarist Slash (yes, that Slash) on the local smooth jazz radio station and decided to buy the cd. This is a beautiful acoustic guitar song that is almost hypnotically mellifluous. I really wish he would do more of this type of music.

Well, I won't bore you with all I went through to find it but I finally located the song on a cd called "Gypsy Soul". I've only listened to a couple of songs on the cd so far but I can already state emphatically that if you are a fan of acoustic guitar you should definitely check it out!

The second track by Jose Luis Encinas, "Luna de Fiesta", was so good that I kept replaying it so I haven't listened to the rest of them yet. This song and Slash's are worth buying the cd for alone. Can't wait to hear the rest of the cd tomorrow!

[BTB]

Hi Guys

"Crazy World" by the Laurence Hobgood trio, on the Naim label. An absolute must for anyone with even a passing interest in a piano lead acoustic jazz trio and a superb recording as well.

Cheers
