Good question, Mars would be the first I would like to visit, followed by the moon Io or any of the Jovian system.

Feb. 23rd, 2012 07:36 pmSometimes certain items just aren't shifting and you have to bulk offload them. That is what I did this afternoon by taking a whole bunch of old books to Past Sentence in Faversham for cash. Haggled a bit to get twenty quid to cover electricity key meter.
What a warm lovely day it has been. It gave me a spring in the step as I soaked up the splendour of this market town. The smell of hops roasting from the brewery filled my nostrils with a thirst to have a beer. A quick dive into Wetherspoons quenched it.
Did my usual “computer buddying” stint at the library this morning but it so quiet I was discussing cosmology with the librarian and explaining to him why the Higgs boson is an important step towards confirming the standard model of the Big Bang and the reason for mass in the universe..
A couple of thuds through the letterbox this morning indicated that I had a couple of packages . one from my Play Trade sales and one from my brother. The double CD was the Miles Davis classic “Kind of Blue” album with two other albums by him on the second CD. The book from my brother was by Peter Guralnik, “Sweet Soul Music, Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream For Freedom” (Canongate). This tome is a very insightful overview of soul music in the sixties. In other words,, an essential book for fans of this genre, such as myself.
Last night I watched the DVD of “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” , the film version of the famous John LeCarre novel. Excellent, but it needs close attentive viewing, for the plot is quite complex. Sometimes a second run through might be needed.
So whilst cousin is watching Top Gear I shall be listening to Miles Davis.

Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" plus
Feb. 23rd, 2012 08:26 pmThis is an incredible bargain: three Miles Davis classics, including the iconic 'Kind of Blue', 'Ascenseur pour l'echefaud' from a Louis Malle soundtrack, and 'Somethin' Else', a 'Cannonball' Adderley album on which Davis makes a substantial contribution. All three albums are remastered onto two CDs, with a real warmth to the sound. 'Kind of Blue' is a beautiful, elegantly played, restrained and melodic album which is likely to appeal to those wary of jazz. It features Miles' trumpet hanging sublimely over the rhythms of drums, bass and piano, and counterpointed by Adderley's sax. It's a true classic of its kind.
Also on the album is a set of moodily atmospheric, ghostly jazz of short pieces which are the soundtrack to a French film 'Lift to the Gallows', so the music is highly appropriate! Finally, there is Adderley's album which features 'Cannonball' on sax, meshing fluidly with Davis trumpet, especially evocatively on 'Autumn Leaves', 'One for Daddy-o' and 'Dancing in the Dark'. All three are classic albums of their time, and all are rated 'outstanding' by Penguin Jazz Guide, and given top **** ratings.
The sound quality is excellent throughout: rich and deep with good tonal separation across the range reminiscent of the original vinyl release.This is a simply unmissable bargain, even at treble the price, so snap this up now while you can. Mouthwatering good value for £3.99 !!
