So what are you listening to at the moment?

I thought Above and Beyond played trance/hard house but will check some of there new stuff out.

They do a lot of downtempo and ambient. Group Therapy was originally a trance album that was redone as a set of accoustic sessions.
Jono, Paavo and Tony usually work as a trio but often work with vocalist Justine Suissa under the name Oceanlab where they do some awesome stuff like Sirens of the Sea.

Been watching Sounds of the 60s on Yesterday, so great stuff that rarely gets shown these days, Bonzo Dog Doh Dah Band and Family being a couple of notables.

And looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes.....Bonzos are quite possibly the madest band ever! Monty Python with instruments.

The canyons of your mind and Mr Slaters parrot..... :rofl: .....fantastic stuff.

Almost forgot jollity farm. :rofl:

Interesting, I have them pinned as Cheese Mongers.

Will check out some of the recommendations Greig, that set I posted is about my tempo nowadays!

You might want to check out stuff by Sunlounger, alias of a German producer called Roger Shah. Its pretty much Balaeric ambient. 4 albums and all contain uptempo dance and downtempo ambient versions of the tracks.
Personal favourite is Lumamba from the album Another Day on the Terrace.

Derek and the Domino's, Iron Maiden and Shining (Norwegian jazz/metal band).

The were ace! Canyons of your mind was the song they did on the program.

Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler playing Layla, love this one;

That's a 3rd way I've heard that track played - and probably the most appropriate! I was actually at one of the shows that the Unplugged version was recorded - near Windsor in the early 90s.

I like this one from Knopfler and James Taylor. The song portrays a great story of two Englishmen who were involved in the mapping out of the early USA.

Our Shangri-La from a later album is one of my favourite Knopfler tracks, but that one and the duet with Van Morrison on the same album is pretty good!

If you like that style, you might also like the a band that I used to follow in the 70s and a couple of the originals are still playing - New Riders of the Purple Sage. Similar plaintiff guitar sound that Knopfler specialises in, but some Pedal Steel and other Hoedown type sounds in a mainly Blues style too. Plenty of the driving guitar style Dire Straits (and Chris Rea!) got famous with too! And apparently Radio Caroline listeners might recognise one of their old tracks too!

Bought my Mrs the London Grammar album for Christmas and have listened to it a lot since. I got the new Simple Minds album and to be fair it's decent . The boys have still got it. Off to see them in Grimbsy in March, it's about 25 years since i saw them last !!!

Went to see Paloma in York last month, she was amazing, very very good.

I love listening to film scores, at the moment I can't stop listening to Hans Zimmer's Man of Steel score. Phenomenal!

Haven't heard his new stuff as I seem to be hitting the mid 90's groove/sludge/Nu quite hard recently. I'll have to pop Strapping Young Lad onto the Ipod for tomorrows journey.
