Astral Weeks is one of the great ones, Fran. I never get bored of playing it. Cypress Avenue and Madame George still send chills down my spine. But, I can't listen to isolated songs from this masterpiece - I have to sit down, play the whole thing through and immerse myself in the whole experience from beginning to end.
Gryphon Diablo 300, dCS Rossini (with matching clock), Kharma Exquisite Mini, Ansuz C2, Finite Elemente Master Reference.
A cracking greatest hits ablum with pretty good sound quality, a lot better than 'Exile..' in that regard too.

For some reason he was a performer that i never was interested in....he just never did it for me....just never connected with his music and I often wondered if I had missed out on something?

Does anyone listen to Hamill these days? A mercurial talent and brilliant lyricist...
"Now we're left with an empty home,
from our nest all the birds have flown for foreign skies.
We're discarded,of no further use,
though we gave our kids all our youth and all our lives
- we really tried"
"Thinking back,it seems that I
can lie beside you as I never truly did,
in afterglow -
no afterwords at all.
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
only paying words out:strings of half forgotten sentiments...
I mean...
I meant...
I never really quite could say the way it was."
Both excerpts from 'Over'....surely the most honest appraisal of a relationship break down ever.
