I have Explosions In The Glass Palace which I really like but for whatever reason I never bought any of their other releases. I have a cassette of Emergerncy Third Rail Power Trip somewhere that a friend did for me many moons ago though. It's rather splendid as I recall :)

Nighthawks at the Diner should be on any list of Waits essentials.

love them. Got my original 7" of GT and both studio albums on vinyl.

New Sparks is out in 3 days :)

Listened to it with my sister on it's birthday. What a bloody masterpiece.

Just ordered that one on clear vinyl from Mute as it's on offer. Great album.

Of Afro Celt Sound System and a long list of writing and production credits. Spoke to him on Facebook a bit, hell of a loss :( https://theafterword.co.uk/simon-emmerson/

Awful muffled sound. Cut from 4 different gigs, everything I normally HATE in a live album. But this has a snarling, crackling energy... a brooding malevolence that cannot be denied. It's utterly compelling :)

I'm in the enviable position of currently running a Classe Model 30 / Luxman M-383 pre power combo AND having inherited my late father's Accuphase E-450 Integrated. Currently the Accuphase is living in it's box because it's physically too big for my current rack, but I will be making changes...
