[Out on blue 6]

The Blue Nile have cropped up in conversation more than once either in this thread or in the playlist, not sure which.

This won't be everyone's cup of tea but I think it's a great choice. And as an added bonus it'll give us a tangential excuse to talk about another of Glasgow's great exports the Linn Sondek; I don't have a bucket list but when I was a wee lad I did dream of owning a Sondek.

I'm pretty sure I put something from the album High on somewhere and may have been a playlist. He hasn't released much but when he has it's quality

A solid album that highlights the vocals of Paul Buchanan and expresses the sound of a city during night time. As sophisticated as pop music can be, melodic and crafted with minute precision
Songwise Headlights on the Parade is an obvious selection and his solo album ( mid air) is also well worth a listen
Solid 7.5 for me

Fair comment. How either company survived the 'death' of vinyl is still a bit of a mystery to me.

I have a Linn Majik digital streamer. They still sell three models of NMPs, speakers, power amps and turntables.

I have an air fryer but I’m not sure that we’ve ever taken it out of the box.






Sorry…… misread that as ‘steamer’.

Don't you take the piss out of my Linn.

Pretty sure you should use water in a steamer, but hey!
Add flavour however you wish.

As an aside, Hats has one of my favourite album covers; instantly recognisable and very well matched to the contents therein.

My LP12, Naim Aro is still doing Sterling service.

Brilliant band, saw them in Manchester many years ago, remember it being all seated, but can’t remember the venue (FOC).
