Irvine Arditti plays the Freeman Études by John Cage on the old Mode CD release. Arditti is such a badass.

Recent acquisition, the 'Thorens 125th Anniversary' album set (three 33 1/3 vinyls) .

Smooth and celebratory of musicians of the past .....

I found this package of vinyls in very good shape, at the local St Vinny's used items store. Jaw dropping find for me during Oct 2022 .

Playbacks superbly on my Thorens and Marantz audio gear .....


Cheers & Peace !!!

Whatever I listen to for a while, I keep falling back on classic jazz piece and ambient minimal electro stuffs.

The tinnitus thread inspired encouraged me to play this track from one of my favourite bands at the moment.
