    Hello,

    Thought it would be cool to see what albums people are listening to right now. Myself, I've been listening to Zooma by John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin fame). The album is from 1999 and features an assortment of basses played by JPJ himself (4, 8, 10 and 12 string), along with drums, guitars, organs, mandolins, a strings section and even a Chapman Stick (a cross between a guitar and a bass). The songs are all instrumental, with some bluesy grooves. Think Led Zeppelin crossed with Primus. A very good album for anyone into Led Zeppelin and looking for something new and different.

    What are you all listening to right now?

    listening now to Roger Waters' 3rd solo album Amused To Death from 1992
    Waters is the former bassist and founding member of Pink Floyd. he was the primary force behind the band's concept albums that they put out in the 70's, such as Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and The Final Cut. this album is another concept, and is very well done. The premise centers around the human race entertaining itself to death, with everything being a form of entertainment, from TV news, to wars. There are the signature Pink Floyd style sound effects, and sprawling soundscapes, and the occasional stab at God, political figures and ex-bandmates. it even features guitar work from the great Jeff Beck and some vocals from The Eagles' Don Henley. certainly an epic creation for the ages, and my #1 favorite album. give it a try.
