Thank you very much; I'll make a point of looking out for her music as I love that type of music.
To be listened to, loud, on a nice stereo with a fine coffee or a fine scotch.
Now, this exquisitely described scenario comes pretty close to what my own personal definition of what the much-abused term 'civilised' actually means .

I'll take a coffee please. ☕
Much agreed!
Back - yet again - to the group Afrocubism, with the album 'Alfrocubismo' and, this time, playing the track 'Jarabi'.
Several from two albums 'Aventine' and 'Philharmonics' by the very gifted Agnes Obel which were waiting for me when I returned home. (For a flavour of the music, think of a sort of cross between Erik Satie and Yann Tiersen)

Mind you, I had clean forgotten that I had ordered them. Have you ever had the experience of working abroad, and cheerfully - and obliviously - ordering stuff online, while in a state of happy intoxication, say, having listened to something online, liked it, researched it, and then fetched out credit card, whereupon you proceed to forget completely all about it, until you arrive home, that is, and stare, surprised, nonplussed, but rather pleased, at some of your unexpected (and unremembered) purchases, but then your memory, awakened, gives a sudden tug and twinge which abruptly reminds you of a happy night several weeks earlier)?
No? Really? Well, I have ...

I'm not Russian, and I don't know that particular artist (or track), so thank you for posting it. However, friends have introduced me to the impressive music of DDT (some terrific stuff).
Moreover, a prized possession - a gift, in fact - (from, yes, some time ago) is a wonderful vinyl LP which featured the hauntingly gifted musician, singer/song-writer/composer Vladimir Vysotsky…Sublime...
A lovely CD (which - according to its sleeve notes - was inspired by the music of spaghetti westerns) by (the US producer) Danger Mouse and (the Italian composer) Daniele Luppi called 'Rome'.
The album is a sort of elegant homage to the (often extraordinarily good) soundtracks that used to accompany spaghetti westerns on the silver screen (or small screen, or computer screen….). Anyway, I have long loved the music of the spaghetti western genre…..

Found this on youtube. Great soundtrack for reading.

Glad you like it.
Thank you. It (this CD) is 1) highly recommended, (by me) and 2), strangely addictive (as in, it seems to be one of those albums one plays again, and again, and again, until one tires - eventually, and inevitably, of it).
However, irrespective of howsoever morally repugnant spaghetti westerns may actually be, (sad to relate), I love them. And one of the things I love most, is the wonderful music ..
