A little delayed at the start, but just caught up. An absolutely excellent first episode. How could it not be with that cast. We're in for a real treat over the next few weeks.

Yeah featured the late Hiroshi Yoshimura many times when I was doing Electronic Odyssey. An artist I knew nothing of at the time of its release, but a firm favourite of mine nowadays x

Completely agree with that description. 'Hats' has a similar feel. Just a wonderful couple of albums x

Ah ok... I'll stick to my previous assessment!

Should I read it or am I ok to continue with my 'just another money grabbing grifter' assessment?

Ah that's brilliant. No doubt about it the sound on that Blue Nile album is everything x

Giving some initial thoughts to #5debutalbums8084.

These two will almost certainly make the cut.

Beautiful ambient music of the kankyō ongaku variety, and beautiful melancholic pop from north of the border.

Perfect 💙x

Album covers for 'Music For Nine Postcards' by Hiroshi Yoshimura, and 'A Walk Across The Rooftops' by The Blue Nile, lay on top of record player.

Topical post John given the task of getting Kraftwerk tickets this morning. Prices are now so crazy across the board I weirdly felt their charges seemed reasonable. I just think with streaming killing the possibility of making a living from recorded music, there's a sad inevitability about it.

Latest from me: the era of the £100+ gig ticket spells cultural disaster www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The best gig I ever saw cost £4. Spiralling concert prices are a cultural disaster | John Harris

Tickets for big tours have vastly outstripped inflation, while smaller artists and venues struggle. The magic is in danger of being snuffed out entirely, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Ah good to hear that. Seen them many times too, but with Ralf now approaching 80 I really wanted to be there. The systems aren't perfect, but its the way of the digital world sadly.
