Wow thanks @Scepticalscribe and @LizKat I now have a new interesting album to check out. It already sounds pretty good even one minute in.

[doublepost=1565667054][/doublepost]Moving on tonight to some Italian prog rock from the inestimably fabulous Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, tracks from their album Quaranta.
Thanks to you, I purchased their earlier album, and really liked it.
How does this compare?

Do enjoy.
You'll probably come across some terrific suggestions for music on this thread.
For some reason something in the songs from Beirut led me back to NYC and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
Some how stumbled onto them and have a live recording from a bar in NYC that is just amazing.
Here is a sample from youtube, I think it is a festival in the Europe somewhere.

One of the best cuts from a great collection of music. In fact, I think I’ll have a listen right now.
Thanks!
I think so, even my own sometimes, hahaha.
Of course I try to listen to every post to see if something is cool.
Anyway there are at least 3 artists I have been turned onto so far.

Quaranta is that same album, it's the only one of theirs I have. It was their fortieth release... and was recorded live at the Teatro Tendastrisce, Roma on November, 6th 2010. The concert was a collection of well received songs from various of their studio albums.
My other favorite track on there is La conquista della posizione eretta (conquest of the standing position)... that one and the one after, Evoluzione, were both on their 1972 studio album, Darwin! They both do have that driving background that sounds like something summoning up the strength and initiative to rise up from the swamp.
Those guys had been together a long, long time when they did that concert. In that way they remind me of the crew of the Buena Vista Social Club, all that energy still quite evident.
If you like this style of music, might I suggest that you take a listen to few tracks from the Boban Marković Orkestar, a Balkan Brass Band.
I have a few of their albums.
Tonight I'm listening to jazz bassist Larry Grenadier, his solo album The Gleaners.
Below is video of the nonstop Vineland track, produced from a live performance at the Zürcher gallery in NYC last April. The percussive effects from his fingering hand in this bowed work are phenomenal. I'm a such a fan of this guy.
Grenadier is the bassist for FLY, a trio with tenor sax player Mark Turner and drummer Jeff Ballard. He has been the bassist in several other well known trios, one with jazz pianist Brad Mehldau and drummer Jorge Rossy, another with Pat Metheny and Bill Stewart and a third with jazz guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel and drummer Brian Blade.
The Gleaners album features compositions by Grenadier plus some takes on works by Gershwin, Coltrane, Muthspiel, singer/songwriter Rebecca Martin, and the late jazz drummer Paul Motian, who had played with Bill Evans, and with whom Martin had also worked. Grenadier is married to Martin.
The album title and perhaps also its content refer to a 2000 film by the French New Wave documentary realist Agnès Vardas, about rural and urban gleaners going about their lives of hunting for food or items to barter and the human connections that sustain their lives together. Vardas titled the film in French as The Gleaners and the Female Gleaner, the latter a reference to herself and the work she was creating.

I’m in bed in the dark listening to two dogs chewing on their bones......in B Major, I think.
Buddy Miles - Them Changes (1970 album)
A real surprise. Great voice. This album has a nice vibe.

Santana - Santana (1969)
A breath of fresh air on the music scene.....50 years ago this summer.

So crazy I already have a song of their creation I think this one;
Cinnamon Girl (Radio Edit) Feat. Boban I Marko Markovic Orkestar
It is a great and entertaining song for sure.
They have recoded a number of brilliant albums.
Marko is Boban's son and grew up playing with the orchestra.
Fifteen of Domenico Scarlatti’s piano sonatas for me this afternoon, played by Croatian pianist Ivo Pogorelić. And if you like them, well... there are exactly 540 more of his piano sonatas floating around, many of them available on the net, although only a few professional aficionados have recorded them all.

Didn't listen to anything except the radio on my commute today.
Madness are timeless.
Wonderful song, wonderful band.
Indeed, it occurred to me that "Our House" might just have a little bit more resonance and relevance for you these days.
Well I don’t see too many resemblances with the description in the song, and how things are in our house! Maybe our neighbors.
Fair enough, but I thought the very idea of listening to a song about a house gave a pretty clear indication as to what is very much on your mind, these days.
In any case, it is a great song.
Loved Madness; part of the soundtrack to my undergrad years.
Actually, I'm not much of a dancer, but I do recall once dancing to "Embarrassment" (probably in itself, something of an embarrassment) in a student house - while attending a student house party - and drinking atrocious wine, in my undergrad days.
Yes they are a band I associate with school discos and the like from my youth as I’m a little younger than you.
