Robert Plant "Carry Fire".
Been listening to this new album all day long. I am simply mesmerized by it. Fantastic.
The Middle Eastern and African influence sounds are quite dreamy and soul stirring... Some won't get it but I agree with the following statement. "It’s about transporting music that really takes you somewhere — a beat that makes you feel a slight sense of dread and foreboding.” Well it's been mesmerizing and taking me somewhere all day long. Can't stop playing it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/11/a...arry-fire.html Last edited by PHC1; 10-13-2017 at 04:28 PM. |

Old school Serge -- bigger print, gatefold in hand & admire. I need it in my hands Sir. At 69 years young, Plant is a someone I've admired as a singer, songwriter, and lead singer since pressing of Led Zeppelin I.
Best Sir, Bob

Can't go wrong with this one Bob but I still recommend you throw Tidal into the mix. All the music you can handle in lossless format for $19 a month. I have not purchased physical media in 3 years.

I also recommend Tidal. However, I am not a fan of the new Robert Plant. I'm still trying to like it. Maybe it will grow on me.
Same with Billy Corgan. |

Old habits are hard to break Serge. I'm not into streaming to include all the MQA hoopla --doesn't interest me to be honest.
Best Sir, Bob

Does saving money interest you? Just think of all the Nordost you can buy if you stop buying CD's
