Cure for Pain was the 2nd album of Morphine. The band from Boston created an original sound not easy to classify. Mark Sandman was the main actor with his two string bass and low tones voice. The result is really excellent.

Among classical Jazz artists Art Pepper is my favourite. A perfect mix of instruments and rhythms. Here a classic work just remastered (2024 Contemporary records acoustic sounds) on quality double vinyl for audiophile .
I just found it (FLAC24_192) on the web and I want to share this gem.
some additional info here (in italian) about this release ( also from the web):
“La
serie Contemporary Records’ Acoustic Sounds si basa su riproduzioni fedeli
degli originali, su vinile di alta qualità: queste ristampe – importate dagli
Stati Uniti – sono autentici “must-have” per gli audiofili. Questa volta tocca
ad un favoloso album del 1960, in cui l’ineguagliabile (e in effetti tanto
originale quanto poco imitato) altosassofonista Art Pepper è alla testa di un
quintetto che ben rappresenta la crème del jazz californiano, con Jack Sheldon
alla tromba, Pete Jolly al piano, Jimmy Bond al contrabbasso e Frank Butler
alla batteria. Album che sfata definitivamente la fama ‘jazz californiano =
rilassato e di facile ascolto’: qui, al contrario, il gioco si fa serrato, lo
swing incalza ed il repertorio comprende anche “Tears Inside” di un certo
Ornette Coleman, che proprio su etichetta Contemporary aveva esordito pochi
mesi prima. Ne sortisce un album sensazionale. L’incisione fu curata dal
leggendario tecnico Roy DuNann e da Howard Holzer, i cui nastri sono stati
ripresi e restaurati da Bernie Grundman e quindi stampati presso Quality Record
Pressing (QRP). La confezione è la riproduzione fedele (nella grafica come nei
materiali) dell’edizione storica.”
Recently, at a local fier, I had a copy of Half Mute by Tuxedomoon vinyl (1980).
Tuxedomoon was one of my favourite band in the '80 and luckily I have had the opportunity to see them live a couple of time before the dead of Peter Principle (bass guitar pillar of the band) some years ago.
You can see on this blog some posts related to that live concert in Italy.
Here you can hear a mp3 version of a compilation that combine the original Half Mute tracks plus Scream with a view (4 tracks).
Relaxing time after the Xmas and End of the year confusion!!!
Here a TRIP-HOP mix directly from youtube.
There is also a spotify playlist link
I extract a flac version so if you want to have the file here is the link:
I was asked to repost a new link for one of my oldest post.

The old rapidshare link is no more active so here a completely new one:
This is not completely new but I listen to this again one of these days and I realized how good it is.
Martina is well known for her collaboration with Massive Attack and Tricky and the Trip Hop sound is easy to recognize.
Enjoy: Forever I wait
Vanishing Twin are considered an Indie-esotheric-psychedelic band. This "The Age of Immunology" was their first album (The third one "Afternoon X" just released in 2023).
Different influences from different geographical areas in their sound (components of the band are from different countries).
The result is a very interesting mix.

I never care about this band in the past but recently I listen to some of them works after the release of the new 2023 LP. I was specially inpressed by this "The Magic Whip" released in 2015 but I am still discovery the early production.
Sometimes you have to take a look back to make sure you haven't missed anything important.

One of my favourite band of the '80. Both components Billy Mackenzie and Alan Rankine died at different times but their music lives on.
Here a collection of mp3 with main of the 12" and mix released in the years .
I collected from different blogs and converted to mp3 just for easy listening. Some of these pieces are real milestones like "white car in germany" or the cover of Blondie "Heart of Glass".
