Becca Stevens' new album "Wonderbloom." It's poppy but virtuosic, stylistically diverse, and a synth tour de force.

Been digging back into Carly Rae Jepsen's last two records, Dedication and E-mo-tion. Really fantastic synth pop. If all you've heard is "Call Me Maybe", you owe yourself a listen.

 

Other big quarantine listens have included the Jacksons three records pre-Off The Wall (Destiny, Triumph, Victory), much John Prine, some Leonard Cohen, Bonnie Raitt, and Jean Leloup.

New Fiona Apple.. bit of a departure ..heavy on the percussion. Will take a few listens but I trust it will pay off since I've loved pretty much everything she's done.

I debated whether to start a new thread on "Favorite DX7 Centric Pop Songs". (which I still may do).

 

I always return to Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin "Up from the Dark" as one of the more tasteful Pop compositions of the time.

Henry and James is harmonically very very satisfying to me. It propelled me into chord voicings that stay with me today.

I think I got this from a Keyboard Magazine pull-out vinyl floppy and promptly recorded it to cassette.

Nostalgic this morning for some good old rock with Bee Bumble and the Stingers. Even though the video of people doing the Lindy Hop still not the same time period it fits. FWIW.. Leon Russell sometimes would go and gig billed as Bee Bumble and the Stingers to make some money.

Saw this pair way back in the day, first as part of Richard Thompson's band, then as an amazing duo in a tiny basement club in Greenwich Village. Clive Gregson wrote the songs, sings soulfully and plays a mean guitar, Christine Collister sings and breaks my heart. My local library's "Freegal" free MP3 download service had 30 or so new tracks from a 'deluxe edition' of their 'Home & Away' album, got me to start looking for other online performances. Like this one: [video:youtube]

UFO- Strangers in the Night. Man, I love this album! My pick for greatest live album of all time. The way Paul Raymond"s (RIP) keys and rhythm guitar fit so well in the mix alongside Michael Schenker"s lead guitar just does it for me. Raymond and Schenker"s dual Minimoog/Flying V leads in Rock Bottom are a highlight for me.

 

Cheers,

Right now I am listening to our fellow forumite Bruce Cohen new CD entitled Six BC

A nice fusion of Vangelis-like electronica, lo-fi synths and soundscapes

Very nice

Be grateful for what you've got - a Nord, a laptop and two hands

I'm lucky to be locked up with an extensive old family collection of 78s from 1906 to about 1954. I had KAB modify a SL-1200 Mk2 to play at 78rpm, and bought a couple cartridges and needles for the task. I'm digitzing to a MPC 1000 which I bought around new years as hardware sequencer for my little synth collection. I've been at it for about 3 weeks. At least half of the artists I never heard of including the astounding Ted Lewis, who propelled both Jimmy Dorsey and Benny Goodman to fame. Here he is in 1931. He never went hungry. My first instrument was clarinet.
