Currently listening to Elgar's Enigma Variation for the first time, all right, but a tad sweet for my taste. I got hold of some of his stuff 'cos I caught a televised performance of some of his orchestral work (not the Variations though) and it really knocked me out.
This stuff is not long for my Ipod (and possibly hard drive either)
Next up:
The 'sheesh will be listening to Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach disc 2. Taking it one disc at a time due to its repetitive nature. Really loved disc 1 when i checked it out a couple of weeks back.

Frank Bretschneider (as Komet) - Gold
Monteverdi - Madrigals, Book VI (can't get enough of this guy lately, and the madrigals are SUBLIME, truly some of the most beautiful music ever written)

Frank Bretschneider (as Komet) - The Go and Gold Eps
Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach disc 3, working my way through this mammoth composition disc by disc.

Over the weekend the 'sheesh revelled in the auditory pleasures offered by the following glorious albums;
Pran Nath - Ragas of the Morning & Night (contains Ragas Todi & Darbari)
Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback, simply one of the greatest 'pop' albums ever made
Richie Hawtin (you lot probably know him better as Plastikman) - DE9: Transitions, one of the indisputable masterpieces of electronic music

J.A.C. - Tosca, not as good as the immortal Suzuki (as recognised by no less than Joe Frank when he used Doris Dub for one of his shows)
Pink Flag - Wire, great group, great songs

God Help The Girl - God Help the Girl (2009) - If you know and dig Belle and Sebastian check this retro effort that takes us back to pre Beatles. Its one of my tips for the best of 2009
Os Mutantes - Haih or Amorticor (2009) - Can you recapture greatness? Probably not, I am still unconvinced but its Os Mutantes Baby
Loudon Wainwright III - High Wide and Lonesome (2009) - Great! Americana - Yippie
For his weekend listening the 'sheesh mixed the jazz up with the following;
Muslimgauze - not many people know about this guy, but those who do are big, big fans (average around 220 or so)
ACDC - Powerage, If You Want Blood (You Got It), the discerning ACDC fan's choices.

Charles Ives - Symphony No. 2

Wunderbar Oorwurm Latty!
BTW I really dig your new tagline.
The 'sheesh has been listening to The Fall - Hex Induction Hour, and;
Frank Bretschneider - Curve
Glad you like my soulmate's mantra I loaded a couple of Larson E. Whipsnade and Egbert Sousé movies on my laptop. While my colleagues go watch in-room movies opf a certain nature I get my kick frpm Philadelphia
But back to your "taste" of . uhm, let's say music: once in a club in Nice in the very early hours of the next morning they played something that sounded like my doctors ultrasound scanner "mating" the ECG with sheer orgasmic pleasure. Asked what it was, the french DJ said:"c'est un allemand fou comme toi!"
Turned out it was FB's Rythm album
Never touched it since. I know my limits and boundaries

But Latty old chap, Rhthm is a simply splendiferous album! Brettschneider is the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas and the wasp's nipples.
check out 'Status' or 'Curve' or 'Balance' for confirmation of his Extraordinary sonic sculptures - So beautiful!
Also another 'allemand' - Alva Noto - his Xerrox series is unbelievable and he's got tons of unbelievably amazing stuff out there.
The 'sheesh has been listening to;
Lamonte Young - disc 2 of the Well Tuned Piano
Monolake - Interstate
P.S. I hope you slapped that impertinent Frenchman's face for rank impertinence - you're one of the sanest fellows i know around here. 'Fou' indeed! Bah!
