My copy of this has finally arrived from Bleep.

Rewarding myself with a couple of gummies, couple of cans, bit of soft lighting and a nice sit down.

Sounding real nice. Fuck yeah

Love it even more thanks to the reissue. Definitely taken it for granted over the years.

I usually keep up with this thread but failed this year. Does this thread do its own album of the year list?

384

Yep, we usually do one.

Just finishing listening to it now. Really sublime. The experience has been especially lovely in that it feels relatively fresh, what with the remaster and it having been a good few years since the last listen, but also wonderfully familiar and nostalgic. A true classic.

New Maria W Horn record next year

She really canā€™t do any wrong, I donā€™t think. Perfect music.

Damn, this is beautiful. Thereā€™s a whole album on the way at some point.

Itā€™s a Hollie Kenniff & Kazuma Okabayashi collaboration.

Think I put it in a new releases thread maybe? Canā€™t remember, but absolutely love it.

This that she released last year is perhaps my favourite thing of hers

Thatā€™s very sad. I hadnā€™t realised that she was ā€˜as old asā€™ 75, so thatā€™s ā€˜betterā€™ than my initial reaction to the news, if you know what I mean, but 75 is still young, IMO. What a clever lady. Still very grateful for this thread introducing me this year to Solo For Tamburium. I shall listen to it this week in her honour.

Very much enjoying my first listen of this. Predictably.

Very delayed response from me, but glad you made it and enjoyed it!

I got in a little after you, but also managed to get a beanbag on the floor, one of the last ones I think. Loved the set-up - all gigs should be that relaxing! And the sound was excellent. Imaginary Softwoods were also my highlight - loved the visuals as well as the music.

Iā€™ll also be looking out for more Bleep43 events - especially daytimes ones!
