Meanwhile, returning to this century/decade/year Alice Longyu Gao's freshly minted album-with-a-fabulous-name:

*includes some previously released singles (like her collab with Oli Sykes of BMTH) and other gems. And xe knows plurals don't use apostrophes, so it's a literate contribution to culture as well. Or it would be but I reckon the 4th track title misspells <3 ... but that may be deliberate, ya never no.

I cant stop listening to the Johnny Cash "American Recordings"
Got hooked after hearing the Johnny Cash cover of the Nine inch Nails " Hurt"
There are some real gems in this series, hurt is no longer my favorite song in the series

The 5 th LP is coming today :)
Plan to order VI also
skipped II, a bit too country for me

Ain Soph - "Variations on a Theme by Brian Smith" [1980, Nexus]: jazz fusion + prog rock, Nexus is full of releases falling somewhere on that spectrum and they've been good about represses in recent years.

Amazing piece and recording. If you like the YouTube version, I can't emphasize enough that you should borrow the CD from your local library as the USMC Band distributes these at no cost to many libraries and schools. If your library doesn't have it, I am sure they can get it via interlibrary loan. The other pieces on this disc are great, too.

I am listening to a long list of new recordings (new to me), but one I keep coming back to is this one from a year or two ago, "Enargeia", by the Met's up-and-coming Emily D'Angelo: https://music.amazon.com/albums/B094YQQL3M?ref=dm_sh_5c6c-c9e6-266e-ff13-c26d0 .

She has been in the cast for several opera recordings with the Met, but this is her debut solo album. An unconventional group of pieces by both modern and medieval female composers, and absolutely delightful.

If you like piano, listen to CDs from Alexandre Tharaud, a young French pianist. When he speaks during a minute wait until he plays again...
