I'll take a shower, then rock out to Prokofiev's Cinderella. That's a piece I don't listen to often enough.They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.

When she embraces, your heart turns to stone
She comes at night, when you're all alone
And when she whispers, your blood shall run cold
You'd better hide before she finds you...

Re: What are you listening to right now?
Something fairly unique...I was selected for a comparison test of a new clear vinyl LP formulation of Side A of Blue Train by Classic Records (45 rpm). The Clarity record was created to remove the magnetic properties of standard vinyl which gets magnetized via carbon addition.Removing the magnetic carbon lowers the noise floor. Classic sent me two records, one standard pressing and one exactly the same but with the new Clarity vinyl.
Here are my listening notes:
I just heard the two 45 rpm pressings of the Blue Train cut on the Scoutmaster with Sonata cart feeding an Audio Research PH3SE).
First, the black 200 gram pressing sounded really fine with nice amount of detail and a nice deep soundstage. Very nice to have this in my collection.
Second, the almost clear but slight greyish Clarity vinyl. Looks cool, sounds even better. I'm hearing the following things which I imagine come from the non-magnetic vinyl:
>> More detail all around. Hear more of the strings on the walking bass, and a ton of detail on the sax including hall which I did not hear much of before.
>> Quieter background.
>> Better dynamics.
>> Better layering and isolation of the instrments.
>> More realistic piano tone, sort of a bigger image across the keyboard width.
This is a nice upgrade for Classic Records and the record is quite stylish. It will take some time to adjust to using a record brush on something other than jet black but it's really no biggie.

Re: What are you listening to right now?
Atom Heart Mother suite, from Atom Heart Mother (Pink Floyd). What an awesome album.
The harmonic meandering up to the vocals (it stabilizes at that point around E minor and A minor) reminds me eerily of Jean de Macques (1550-1614). The succession of chords are not as wild as C. Gesualdo IMO, but it is nearly as unpredictable. How I would have loved to have been at this recording session. I recall, back in 1973, when I first heard Dark Side Of the Moon, how reviews of it I read were nearly unanimous in labeling it 'acid rock' (probably for want of a more effective descriptor). Great stuff.

About to load Alice Coopers "Welcome To My Nightmare". Been awhile since I've played this one. It's one of my favorite DVD-A's. This would also make a good edition of Classic Albums.
