What Did You Buy? - Ruby - 27-12-2014

SteveO Wrote:Nice buys Ruby! Interested in the Nightnoise album! I like different things from time to time! Let me know how you found it!

SteveO - it’s very nice – a beautiful, carefully considered instrumental album – incredibly relaxing and with not too much of the Celtic wail, which personally, I can only stand in small doses! It’s undemanding though – didn’t bowl me over, unlike another artist I discovered because of the Windham Hill label to which Nightnoise was signed ….

It's a distinctive logo, and I picked up a CD, saw the label (and the cover – it’s always the cover!) and bought it, having previously found out that Windham Hill were in the habit of signing some rather distinguished indie folk/acoustic/new age musicians (including Vangelis). As a result, I have ended up with Michael Hedges’ hugely acclaimed Aerial Boundaries which is utterly magnificent.

I’m embarrassed to say that he’s been unknown to me up to this point, and just in case anyone else doesn't know, he has a legendary reputation as a virtuoso solo acoustic guitarist and as a composer - sadly no longer with us. In this case, at least musically speaking, and for his sense of humour, the world is an infinitely poorer place. As a reaction against being referred to as a ‘new age’ musician because of his association with Windham Hill, he took to calling his music ‘heavy mental’, ‘new edge’, ‘acoustic thrash’, ‘deep tissue gladiator guitar’, etc. LOL! Take a look and listen to what he does – music starts at about 2.55.

three more xmas giftcard purchases today...had to get to the shops early because i wanted to stay out of the summer heat...

first up, an album i own on vinyl already but wanted to upgrade to cd, Bob Dylan's debut set...(hard to believe he was actually once a 'young man')

second up,
another Dylan album, but one ive not ever heard previously...
i did hear the expanded version of demo's/outtakes from this one earlier this year and i liked what i heard,that one was called "another self portrait(bootleg volume 10)".
gotta be one of the worst album covers ever,up there(or more to the point,down there!) with NY's "landing on water"

occasionally, i will purchase a few things i dont know when using my giftcards and this one is one of those...
it was rated near the top(or at the top) of a lot of "best albums of 2014" lists so i thought.."why not"
it is The War On Drugs "lost in the dream"
