    You're welcome, Dave. I like his voice that's why I bought these when I saw them in a marketing email from PlasticHead in the UK. I did some further digging - Battlezone is like his 3rd project after Maiden.

    He's also touring now and may announce some US/Canada dates for 2024. He apparently did 30 dates in Brazil this year - wish I knew so I could have caught a show down there.

    Just upgraded to the LXs from the Sierra-2s this afternoon. Going through my first run of sides:

    McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy; side 1
    Joe Farrell - Moon Germs; side 2
    Metallica - Black Album; side 2
    Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon; side 1
    Fela Ransome Kuti and the Africa 70 - Confusion; sides 1 & 2

    Hoo, these rip right out of the box

    Got the latest album from Alison Goldfrapp, and it is excellent. Highly recommend if you like techno/dance melodic music. You need to listen to this on speakers with good bass capabilities (it sounds terrible on phone or iPad speaker obviously)I discovered her over 20 years ago, keeps putting out great stuff.

    Nice, hard to categorize, but I like it. Clever video concept.

    Dave, if you liked that, guessing you may also like Cannons. It’s my favorite current band. Little more mellow than Goldfrapp.

    The Warning.

    I think of this band as flag-bearers for rock in Gen Z. They're about the same ages as my kids (ages 18-23). They are one of the best responses to the (incorrect) claim that rock is dead or dying. They are gifted musicians and talented performers, and all three of them sing.

    This is a whole show—105 minutes—professionally shot in 4K with excellent sound (drums are really well-mic'd for people who care about that), not some random dude in the crowd with an iPhone.

    Well worth a watch!
