Unfortunately I never really got to have a proper listen to George’s material until shortly after his premature death. While the media attempted to crucify him for a misdemeanour, his talent, sensitivity & humanity shone through.
Jumping around a bit tonight, auditioning the U2 mini.

César Franck’s rarely heard symphonic poem Les Djinns in a fantastic new recording released last May. De Williencourt is still very young, but on these Franck pieces he is brilliant.
OK, this has jumped right to the top of my list of best releases of 2022 (so far). Just incredible - retro but bang up to date (think late 60s-early 70s psych/blues/folk rock with a tinge of retro-soul), and the lead singer has such a distinctive and captivating voice. An album that pretty much everyone should have in their collection. (Pro tip - if you are searching for it in e.g. Tidal [and you certainly should], you do need to include the umlaut on the “Sün”)
Not sure that it is quite as retro at that Andreas, but hope you enjoy! I also love a lot of retro from the 16/1700s, often fueled by your inspirational and recherché suggestions
