Today I’ll mostly be listening to… Flea - Honora a great sounding double album of powerful driven music. There’s touches of Miles, Coltrane and lots and lots of Flea on bass and trumpet.

Today I’ll mostly be listening to… Matthew Young - Undercurrents and relax… unless this is not your thing, I can see how it could equally be stressful. I however find it very relaxing.

Album sleeve shows Jacqueline du Pres and Daniel Barenboim leaning on the left side of the temporary turntable (it’s not a Linn but it’s still sounds good for a fifty year old bit of kit with a new cartridge) till the Linn returns upgraded. 

Apparently Elgar was relaxing after a hard day of teaching fiddle and was noodling on the piano when his wife exclaimed “that’s a nice tune” it was the theme for what was to become the Enigma variations and rest is history
