False Idols - 2020
24/44.1 - DR: 5dB
I think @T38.45 already mentioned “Fall To Pieces” was Tricky’s masterpiece.
I fully agree with him.
Short, only 28 minutes, but his roughest, bitterest, darkest, yet the most poetic album he has ever made.
Long story short, Tricky created this record a year or so after his daughter committed suicide…
All his pain and distress are there, visceral yet beautiful, still with Marta as the lead vocalist.

Been ill today, probably norovirus which left me firing on 2 cylinders. So, curled up in the couch, fire on, lights low and playing one album quite quietly.
Underworld - Drift Series 1
Qobuz 16/44
Eight hours playing time 
A quieter more tuneful Underworld retrospective with some glorious stuff on it.
Three tracks with The Necks, which is never a bad thing.
Favourite track - Custard Speedtalk

Parcels’ very best album.
They cover here the songs of their first album with real analog instruments and they recorded all of it live in a studio. This gives this disc a 70’s sound coloration which I absolutely enjoy.

Another absolutely ‘reference’ (ahem) quality recording from “Prof” Keith O Johnson. IME you’ll have to look long and hard to find a jazz ensemble (and the surrounding space) more realistically captured. This for me is the perfect proof point for James’s argument “it’s not the quantity of the bits that matters but the quality of the bits.” Great music too.
