Right now I am listening to ...

[Bhaskar Jyoti Talapatra]

Thanks, Bhaskar. This show is currently available on Amazon Primevideo. As with other things in life, the content there too is transient, so I got the 6 DVD pack to relive those days

Hi
Sandeepss
Glad to know that you have collected this gem.Enjoy this and ruminate our glorious past. Thank God that we didn't have pubg,and the like in our childhood. Another thing I would like to say is that the fictitious place Malgudi had grabbed a place in Oxford's literature map(can't show any evidence but heard it from my friend).
Regards
Bhaskar

Please suggest me good R&B albums available on Tidal and Spotify.

 

[ONEMANARMY]

Breakfast in the field - Michael Hedges.
Excellent solo guitar.
Will show you if your tweeter is up to it.

 

[ONEMANARMY]

Porcupine Tree - Absentia.
Great dynamics

One of the best folksy-classical film scores in recent years. Traditional instrumentation, stellar vocals, very good recording.

Here is one of the Assamese folk song used in this album. Thanks to FM @skroderider

To quote him from another thread:

Another sub genre is Goalparia lokogeet - very evocative songs often sung with a two stringed instrument (dotara)

 

[ONEMANARMY]

Night Song - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Michael Brook

 

[unleash_me]

"Prelude and Nostalgia"

 

[frend2001]

One of greatest electronic composer of our times.

A track from this album "Second Rendez-vous" is famously used as the theme of Mukul S Anand's Epic and Iconic Agneepath (1990),
Amitabh got a national award for his portrayal of Vijay Dinanath Chouhan, *Pura Naam.

This Scarface adoption is a cult classic.

Beautiful chamber pop album, ‘The Crying Light’ is perhaps Antony’s best. As usually with androgyny, union with Mother Nature suffuses the narrative. The singing and orchestration is highly sensitive and emotive. The picture above articulates the mood of the album.

A less known gem of alternative music, it has to be heard to realise its spiritual power. The song One Dove is a good place to start.

 

[ONEMANARMY]

Tala Matrix - Tabla Beat Science.

I happened to discover these guys through Radio Paradise (if you have a streamer, and don’t listen to the RP radio station, try it NOW), and felt like meeting soulmates. The British-Irish Waterboys, fronted by the Scottish Mike Scott, are a rare breed - they have exceptionally erudite lyrics, spiritual songs (paganism, environmentalism etc.) but in a very poetic way, and big sound! These come across as the educated, thinking rockers based on their music. They have been making music from the 80’s till date.

‘This is the Sea’ is their most popular albums from the 80s that has the typical Waterboys sound that came to be called ‘The Big Music’. Listen to ‘The Whole of the Moon’... I felt very understood by the lyrics. Some of you who live in their own minds as much as (if not more) than in the physical world, would resonate. Sonically it is a wonderful phantasmagoria of voices, instruments and other sounds amongst which the lyrics still leap out to you.

 

[Barun7]

Last Christmas - Wham
I just called to say I love you - Stevie Wonder
Oh Carol - Neil Sedaka

Have repeated several times since evening. Takes one back to the time when life was simpler. Only if life could take us back!

And what a discovery Sachin. Never had heard of these guys and I have spent a whole evening listening to more and more of their music on YouTube. Thanks. 80s weren't so bad after all. In a similar vein, James and a song by them called Sometimes and Real gone kid by Deacon blue seem to share a very similar vibe.

Have only heard one track by them and really liked it. Was convinced that it was Dylan, but it turned out to be the Waterboys:

 

[Dev.R]

Raag Nat Bhairav and Malkauns beautifully rendered by Pt.Kumar Bose and Indradeep
Very good album for Hindustani Classical lovers.

 

[Hassan Khani]

Anybody else thinks it’s the best Hindi film album to have come in the last 20 years?

Lyrics, tunes, singing, instrumentation, dynamic range, sound staging, consistency... everything perfect.
