Well - a lot of listening but not much writing. That is what happens at half term and no access to the Internet. Previously too busy to write blog. These albums haven't necessarily been listened to in this order and I have listened to others but haven't counted them as I was chatting or doing other things. I am astonished that I have listened to over 70 albums.
Album 59 Brahms Symphony No3 - Berlin Phil (Herber von Karajan)
I discovered this piece of music when I was about 14 - in my father's collection of classical records. It is powerful and was my introduction to classical music. From here I discovered Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and then onwards. This is a powerful piece of music that I must have listened to 'hundreds' of times.
Album 60 Revolver - Beatles
Daniel wondered why I didn't have a copy of Revolver and he gave this copy to me. I am grateful as it has some great tracks, particularly Eleanor Rigby - classic Beatles! I have listened to it many times recently and enjoyed it lots.
Album 61 Safari - Air
Dan is also responsible for this album . It must be three years ago he introduced me to this wonderful and haunting music. Now .................. it is bizarre but this is what children at Dormo frequently listen to as they are waiting for assembly. Not my choice - Adam must like it! I find some tracks quite haunting.
Album 62 Arvo Part - Miserere
This was a present from a special chum - my 50th. Thanks Wazzie.
Album 63 Sacred Love - Sting
A favourite album!
Album 64 Eye to Telescope - KT Tunstall
This was a Mercury Prize winner and I was so pleased to find it. Listened to it lots and then it slipped down the pile of CDs. So pleased to have found it again. She is an amazing song writer and what a voice!
Album 65 Moulin Rouge
Heck..................... I loved this film. Went with staff from school, reluctantly, but really enjoyed it. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. Has tracks such as Like a Virgin, One Day I'll Fly Away. It is nearly 9 years since I listened to this - Easter 2002! Enjoyed listening to it and singing whilst driving to the Lakes!
Album 66 Graceland - Paul Simon
A favourite ................ listened to lots and lots.
Album 67 I Speak Because - Laura Marlin
I had heard of Laura Marlin and was familiar with her album but I have listened to this so many times since Dan gave me a copy. I enjoy running and listening to this. Brilliant album. A real find.
Album 68 Pierre Bensusan - Altipanos
This is another all time favourite ............. I just love Pierre and his music is played so often. Great to relax to and good background music.
Album 69 Talking Book Stevie Wonder
Where on earth did this come from? Did I buy it???
Ok some tracks are ok but this can go to the bottom of my pile of CDs. I just got fed up of listening to it.
Album 70 Buena Vista Social Club
Good fun. Cheery music.
Album 71 Sigh No More - Mumford and Sons
Like Laura Marling, I had heard of Mumford and Sons and was familiar with their music. Now I have a copy of the album I listen to it lots. I would love to see this and live.
Album 72 Dark Side of Moon -Pink Floyd
6th form music. I bought this copy whilst browsing in a music shop. I vividly remember listening to this with Stewart A, Steve W and Dick D. I had loved PF but thought this was totally wacky. Enjoyed listening to it but it will not be frequently replayed. Great memories of 6th form and my chums. Must ask Stewart if he remembers buying it as it was his copy that I heard.
Album 73 Abbey Road - Beatles
Great favourite.Frequently listen to this album.
Album 74 Band on Run - All the Best - Paul McCartney
I haven't always liked PM's music since the Beatles, but the tracks on this album are ok and I enjoyed listening to it again.
