Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a go, Spotify permitting.

Yes, thanks Richard, I’ll line that up too.

I would certainly agree with the last bit! but it's better than nothing. Nor would I say that I liked everything or even most things I heard, but I did have an impression of people doing imaginative and interesting work. One album that stuck in my mind was Vulture Prince by Arooj Aftab. I did find listening to the whole album a bit like eating a whole box of chocolates in one sitting, but she has a beautiful voice and the arrangements are very nicely done, mostly acoustic with a particular emphasis on harp and strings. I haven't heard anything quite like it before.

I do try to get good recommendations from the young people at work, but its hard going getting recent good stuff out of them. I think they have the same issues that we all do of infinite choice and lack of trusted guides.
I quite liked some of the Sufjan Stevens music I heard, but my recent deep ( and prolonged) dive into 1967-69 ( ish) psychedelic pop has trumped everything.It has been a huge help dealing with the insanity of the covid dominated world, and the threats we face .
