Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

[Karl Henning]

Haven't listened to this in an age:
Peter Gabriel's So album

[San Antone]

Sondheim : Follies
NYPO



When the original cast album of Follies was recorded, I think the show had closed, or was about to the same week. The producers wanted to make a cast recording, but chose to do it on the cheap. Consequently several cuts were made, and the album presented an abridged version of the work. 

In 1985 the NYPO with an all-star cast mounted a concert stage, with the complete score. Which is a blessing since I, and others, consider Follies to be among Sondheim's important achievements.

Sondheim : Follies
NYPO

Doesn't this one have "I'm Still Here"?

I love La Streisand's version on The Concert (1994). I love that whole live album, to be fair.

Yes; sung by Carol Burnett.

Nektar: A Tab in the Ocean (1972)

Nektar was one of my favorite bands during my teenage years. They had a unique ability to blend fairly complex and extended prog structures with an accessibility and clarity that even a less experienced listener could appreciate. Here's a great album from 1973.

Nektar: Remember the Future (1973)

Prog Disco? The last few minutes of side B have killer bass, funky guitar, and me getting down as I listen.

Julien Baker & Torres: Send a Prayer My Way (2025)

Been waiting a while for this one.

Disco influence might not be the first thing that comes to mind when listening to Nektar's recordings, but it was definitely present in the '70s. Just think of how The Stones brought a danceable rhythm and a prominent bass line, both classic disco elements, into their Miss You.

Thanks for posting this - I've never heard their music before - but it is great.

Márta Sebestyén is a wonderful Hungarian singer. I first heard her in the recordings of the super popular Deep Forest project in the '90s. There's also a very good album released under her name – Kismet.
