Albums Heard in 2011

Joe Hisaishi is definitely one of my favorite composers(I can't decide whom I like more, him or Nino Rota) and this soundtrack record is just pure perfection. While listening to a score like this you notice how much a good soundtrack can add to the film's power.

A good(and a bit rare since the only existing version is this 1976 vinyl) funk/disco album. Contains a few slower ballads which are not so interesting but the title track, 'You + Me = Love' and 'Let's Go Down to the Disco' are enjoyable funk tracks with nice bass lines and the real 70's feeling.
The earlier records of the group are more appreciated so I'm really looking forward to hear them too.

Not as jazzy as Apostrophe (') or Over-Nite Sensation but funny and mad as hell.

Another early Dylan live recording. This one was recently found in the basement of Ralph Gleason, the legendary music critic.
I didn't actually listen to the vinyl recording(which, in fact, is my first vinyl record purchase!) but the mp3s that can be downloaded with a code included in the set. Anyway, the record is an enjoyable and exciting experience and I think I'll enjoy it even more when I get a chance to listen it from the vinyl.

Dylan performs his classic songs(a few with Joan Baez too) and makes the audience laugh with his jokes. Great stuff.
