Birra Moretti time, & #NowPlaying #KidA from the 2022 #KidAmnesia by #Radiohead.
I didn’t fully get Kid A on release - it took a little time to acclimatise to its strangeness, but, listening to it now, #EverythingInItsRightPlace, #TheNationalAnthem, #HowToDisappearCompletely, &#MotionPictureSoundtrack are compulsive, compelling & quite brilliant.
This is mastered by #BobLudwig & is flat, clean, centred & improves on the UK OG. But not night & day.

On release, I half-dismissed this as a reprise of Odelay. But that is unfair: Epro, Girl, Missing, Black Tamborine, Hell Yes, Scarecrow, & Rental Car more than hold their own within Beck’s rich back catalogue.
This is the 2005 pressing mixed by #BobLudwig and cut at 45. It sounds good enough, well pressed, but I’m not sure the SQ justifies twice the number of disks…

Bank Holiday Monday & I’m #NowPlaying #UpsideDownMountain by #ConorOberst. This 2014 release was weirdly overlooked. It’s a double album with contributions from #FirstAidKit, #MikeMogis, #NateWalcott, & #MWard, among others.
#TimeForgot, #HundredsOfWays, & #EnolaGay are close to peak Oberst (post-#BrightEyes).
This is an OG EU pressing, mastered by #BobLudwig & as is generally the case with Oberst, it’s flawless, dynamic, & well presented.
