Sept 14 - Oct 2 listening

Max Richter - Taboo Soundtrack (2017) - "textural greatness, a fabric woven of dark shades and thick strings"

Neil Young - Hitchhiker (2017) - "a dusted-off portrait of an artist near his peak."

Twin Peaks - Music From The Limited Event Series  (2017) - “a triumph of musical programming, mood, and David Lynch’s strange reality."

Twin Peaks: Limited Event Series Soundtrack (2017) - "Takes us back to beautiful experience of mystic and wonderful episodes of my favourite show ever"

The National - Sleep Well Beast (2017) - "full of abandon and quiet contemplation"

The Fall - New Facts Emerge (2017) - "ever nastier, ever greasier, ever more hypnotically righteous."

Six Organs of Admittance - s-t (1998) - "a collection of mostly-instrumental meditations"

Garden of Delights (BIg Chill Folk Album) (2006) - "basically a compilation of artists on The Transatlantic Record Label, which specialised in signing offbeat Folk orientated act"

Laraaji - Bring on the Sun (2017) - "an immersive experience, one that shimmers and glistens and throbs in all the right places"

Jhené Aiko - Trip (2017) - "Aiko's odyssey rises to levels metaphorical and metaphysical as her quest turns further inward over the hour-and-a-half span of dreamlike, meditative grooves."

Bonobo - Migration (2017) - "pensive ambient electronica from a nomadic soul"

Peter Green - The End of the Game (1970) - "a far looser strand of improvisational rock comprised of wholly instrumental outings"

Brix and the Extricated - Part 2 (2017) -  "Blondie meets Patti in the half light simultaneously on Manchester back streets and catwalks everywhere."

Santana - Festival (1976) - "As a salsa band they're still OK, but a ten-tune format and the sincere desire for AM proselytization don't make them a pop band."

Santana - Inner Secrets (1978) - "probably insures continued airplay but doesn't mean sheep-dip in the larger scheme of the band's discography."
