One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read on Tori's creative force. That intro alone is worth millions. Well done, Sir!

#NowSpinning 🎙️松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿Bible -pink & blue- Special Edition (2023) Seiko-chan has released more than 50 albums! But fear not: this 3-disc selection covers the first half of her catalog. 57 songs encompassing singles, b-sides and essential album tracks. A Bible, indeed! #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Tension Tour Live (2025) I'm still playing this one incessantly. A killer setlist with perfect transitions between songs. One of the best catalogs in Pop music. And the physical release is absolutely stunning! #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️山本達彦 (Tatsuhiko Yamamoto) 💿Alive And Well (1987) A lively concert centered on some of his most up-tempo and rock-oriented tracks. Japanese music from the 80s just has a magical, glittering feeling to it, doesn't it? I never get tired of it. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Body Language (2003) The furthest thing from being 'Fever Part 2', it took me years to properly digest the sound of this record In retrospect, it was a bold move that still feels unique in her catalog. 'Slow' is, of course, a quintessential Kylie track #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Fever (2001) I have vivid memories of Kylie becoming one of the biggest Popstars in the world when this album was released It's always a pleasure to revisit its sweet electropop goodness and massive singles. 'Love At First Sight' is my absolute favorite #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️今井美樹 (Miki Imai) 💿Smile (2026) Imai returns with her 21st studio album of new material after eight years, celebrating her 40th anniversary. The first-press limited edition comes with a full concert from the 2023 tour on Blu-ray disc. #MusicSky #J-Pop #音楽 #CD #CompactDisc

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Ray Of Light (1998) Let's cut to the chase: this is one of the greatest Pop albums of all time. 'Nothing Really Matters' is probably my favorite Madonna track. Its crowning as the lead song on the Celebration tour felt like divine justice. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️中森明菜 (Akina Nakamori) 💿Complete Single Collection: The First Ten Years (2009) Every single and b-side by the queen of tragic love during her iconic imperial phase in the 80s. 4 discs, 56 tracks. #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Hilary Duff 💿luck... or something (2026) Duff is almost 40, and this low-key, surprisingly great Pop album is the ideal entry point to a new adult audience who, like myself, won't necessarily backtrack to her early teen music. A perfectly executed return/rebranding #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿Strange Little Girls (2001) Tori is my favorite artist. A legendary singer, songwriter and piano player who is also a master in turning any song into her own thing. This album of covers is an essential part of her canon, finally on vinyl. Highly recommended #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Bedtime Stories (1994) Such a good album for laying back and chilling. Love the cool, bass-heavy songs and the overall mood of this record. 'Human Nature' remains one of her most iconic songs. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽 #マドンナ

February on #streaming stats. I finally took a deep dive into Seiko Matsuda's 50+ studio albums!!! More on her soon #松田聖子 #HilaryDuff did a hell of a career reboot. The album is very good! The rest is my usual mix of classic Pop, Standards, Brazilian music and Japanese favorites. #MusicSky #音楽

The best part of doing a low-buy year in music is finally having the time/urge to revisit and listen to box sets in their entirety. I'm on a vintage Japanese Popular music kick, having a blast with these multi-disc collections. #MusicSky #音楽 #ユーミン #今井美樹 #雅夢 #松山千春 #来生たかお #CD #CompactDisc

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿ユーミンからの、恋のうた (2018) [45th Anniversary Best Album] Her discography is so massive that another 3-disc box set was released with 45 songs that didn't make it to the previous one. Combined, they offer 91 tracks to both diehards and newcomers. #MusicSky #ユーミン #音楽

Oh, the memories! Disc 2 definitely made me a fan back then. Three of my all-time favorite songs are on it: あの日に帰りたい (Those were the days) 海を見ていた午後 (One afternoon by the sea) シンデレラ・エクスプレス (Cinderella Express) *Titles in English are official adaptations used on streaming services.

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿日本の恋と、ユーミンと。(2012) (40th Anniversary Best Of) This wonderful 3-disc compilation was my first contact with her music. Sentimental value aside, it still holds up as one of the best curated and sequenced selections from her catalog. 46 tracks. #MusicSky #ユーミン #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Like A Prayer (1989) Madonna isn't just a singles artist. There are too many excellent album tracks and overlooked minor hits that even her best compilations can't truly do her catalog justice. Each album should be savored in their entirety if you ask me. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Norah Jones 💿Not Too Late (2007) My favorite Norah album. Melodic, political and poetic. Songs such as Sinkin' Soon, My Dear Country and Wake Me Up are sadly more relevant than ever. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿YUMING BANZAI! (2022) Yuming, as she was affectionately nicknamed, had 39 studio albums to celebrate with this 50th Anniversary compilation. An impossible task for a 3-disc box set, but it does provide a good glimpse of her unique, massive catalog #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kate Bush 💿Lionheart (1978) Kate's magical music needs no additional commentary at this point. Let me just say that I never get tired of looking at this beautiful Japanese pressing. The design of that obi is a chef's kiss. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Ella Fitzgerald 💿Twelve Nights In Hollywood (Recordings: 1961, 1962. Released: 2010) This essential 4-disc set captured peak Ella during relaxed and intimate performances at the Crescendo club. A broad selection of 77 tracks, not a single overlap. Mama worked HARD! #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️今井美樹 (Miki Imai) 💿Colour (2015) Easy Listening and MOR music are SO valuable for language learning. Imai's melodic, "easy to follow and translate" songs have been around me since my beginner years of Japanese. Track 1, Anniversary, was the first Japanese song I learned! #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Mariah Carey 💿Daydream (1995) An album that changed Pop music forever, with its elements still being reflected 30 years later even after the end of monoculture. Just listen to 'Fantasy', 'Underneath The Stars', 'Always Be My Baby', 'Long Ago' and 'Looking In'. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿Under The Pink (1994) I'm still counting the days 'til Tori's new record on May 1st. A perfect excuse to keep (re)playing her classics in the meantime. Rhino delivered a very good pressing/mastering with this 2LP pink #vinyl edition reissued in 2021. #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Roberta Sá 💿Que Belo Estranho Dia Para Se Ter Alegria (2007) Roberta's sophomore album earned critical acclaim and commercial success, making her an established Samba singer in Brazil with a promising long career that came to be. A beautiful reissue 🪷 #vinyl #MusicSky #BrazilianMusic

#NowSpinning 🎙️キリンジ (KIRINJI) 💿Town Beat (2026) Takaki Horigome's one-man band is back with a new studio album (his 17th), with references that range from Motown beats (hence the title) to Caetano Veloso's 1997 album 'Livro' on the excellent track 8 ベランダから (The View From Our Balcony). #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Björk 💿Biophilia (2011) And this is probably the Björk album I play the most. I'm fascinated with the universe to the point of reading astronomy books for fun! My love for Björk and the cosmos in one place? Perfect. #vinyl #MusicSky #ビョーク #レコード #音楽 #宇宙 #天文学 #本

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kate Bush 💿Aerial (2005) Chilling with my favorite Kate Bush album. In a career full of masterpieces, this is the one a return to the most. I love how calming and contemplative these songs are, especially the song cycle 'A Sky Of Honey'. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped) (2025) I know, I know... It's February. But Kylie is my feel-good music, 'Hot In December' is one of her best bops, and the cozy atmosphere of this record is perfect for cooking and doing house chores. Go ahead, judge me😁 #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿The Immaculate Collection (1990) An impressive, timeless string of singles. Mixing and mastering are excellent, making it one of the best sounding records in my collection. #vinyl #MusicSky #マドンナ #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Roberta Sá 💿Braseiro (2005) Roberta came into the scene two decades ago as part of the new generation of Brazilian Popular Music, bringing her own flavor to Samba and Bossa Nova standards as well as offering new material with this respectable debut. #vinyl #MusicSky #BrazilianMusic 🇧🇷

#NowSpinning 🎙️来生たかお (Takao Kisugi) 💿Complete Single Collection - Kitty Years (1976-2000) The beloved Japanese crooner celebrates his 50th anniversary in the biz with this 5-disc box set which collects the 32 singles and respective b-sides from his heyday on the Kitty label. 64 tracks. #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Ella Fitzgerald 💿Ella In London (1975) It's undeniable that Ella's imperial phase at Verve Records usually gets most of the attention. However, her subsequent releases by Norman Granz's Pablo label sure are a treasure trove of albums worth exploring. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tina Turner 💿Foreign Affair (1989) Starting the day energized by the goddess. She's more powerful than coffee ⚡ Besides all of those classic singles, 'Ask Me How I Feel' is one of my favorite album tracks. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Christina Aguilera 💿Stripped (2002) While many of her peers only had bubblegum and tabloid fodder, Aguilera dropped this seminal, career-defining album that had A LOT to say. Regarded as a blueprint by current Pop girls, it's often imitated but never duplicated. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿 Little Earthquakes (1992) The countdown to Tori's new album has begun! I'm beyond excited! A warning to fellow collectors: this 2015 single LP sounds great and has better remastering/pressing than the 2LP half-speed edition from 2023. That was a shame. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Donna Summer 💿Once Upon A Time (1977) It's always a good time to enjoy the peak of Donna and Giorgio Moroder's collaboration. This one pops up here once in a while because it is one my favorite albums of all time. A deluxe reissue is still on my wish list. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿Boys For Pele Count me in at the celebration of this fascinating, raw masterpiece. Still magical 30 years later. An album that shouldn't be explained, just experienced. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️The Corrs 💿Jupiter Calling (2017) I respect them for bowing out with this uncompromising album. It's very folky, without big hooks and more focused on its poetic narratives. There's also a palpable frailty to Andrea's vocals that matches the quiet space of this record #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️The Corrs 💿White Light (2015) They came back after a ten-year hiatus (!) and gave fans what they wanted: an amalgamation of the best elements from previous albums. Lush Pop production and those catchy melodies that are a joy to sing along to. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 💿Christina Aguilera (1999) I'm sorry, but I was just a kid back then and all the hits from this album are ingrained in my mind. 'Come On Over' in particular is my time machine to carefree days Her first great album would be its follow-up, though: the seminal 'Stripped' #vinyl #MusicSky

PREORDER: 'In Times of Dragons' by Tori Amos The veteran songwriter returns with a politically pointed studio album, taking aim at demagogues and despots through vivid history-steeped lyricism and allegorical tales. www.normanrecords.com/records/2136...

Lives were changed. #ToriAmos

#NowSpinning 🎙️Daniela Mercury 💿Canibália (2009) Time for some positivity. Mercury has always used her stardom for the diffusion of Brazil's rich music genres and cultural diversity. The title of this album is an invitation to 'devour' great minds that came before, absorbing their legacy. #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Joni Mitchell 💿The Beginning Of Survival The songs in this powerful compilation turned concept album saw it all long ago: consumerism, greed, short-attention spans, wars and the draining of natural resources. This is "The end of living and the beginning of survival". #MusicSky

I'm political in my daily life, not on social media. This account was created solely for the purpose of sharing a hobby once in a while. However, it's become difficult to keep posting about music and vinyl in blissful ignorance while the world is going full-on 'The Handmaid's Tale'.

#NowSpinning 🎙️Marina Lima 💿Virgem (1987) Marina still is the undisputed goddess of Brazilian Pop Rock. I love her tone, simultaneously metallic and warm, amazing melodies and sophisticated songs such as 'Pseudo Blues' and the title track. A classic record in her rich discography #vinyl #MusicSky

Yes, reality is grim. But having Tori back this year makes things a little more bearable. I'm so looking forward to the Strange Little Girls reissue next month and the new album in May! #ToriAmos

#NowSpinning 🎙️山本達彦 (Tatsuhiko Yamamoto) 💿Conversation With Myself I, II, III (1999-2001) In the turn of the millennium, Tatsuhiko founded his own label and kicked things off by revisiting selected tracks from the 80s and 90s through a Piano & Vocal trilogy, his greatest strengths. #MusicSky #音楽
