My Tidal streaming report for November features all well-known artists. The lesser-known artists didn’t make it into the top five, probably because I only listen to one or two audiophile-quality songs from them during the month.
As a matter of interest, I went through Massive Attack’s catalogue again this November as their humanitarian support for Palestine began featuring prominently in current news.
Boston’s founder and leader, Tom Scholz, recorded their debut self-titled album in his home basement studio, which he built himself, and played nearly all the instruments.
Diana Krall may seem out of place among the other featured artists, but every self-respecting audiophile just needs a little jazz every so often.
I wasn’t a fan of electronica until I became enmeshed in the world of audiophilia. Swiss outfit Yello is one of the better proponents of its genre. Their 80’s hit single, The Race, might be more familiar to many people. However, I prefer some of their later audiophile-level offerings.
Supertramp, of course, needs no introduction. Formed in 1970, they only started to achieve recognition and success right at the end of that decade with the Breakfast in America album that spawned the hit, The Logical Song.
As of late, I will just feature my favourite song from the artist or band with a link to their bio.

Massive Attack: While my favourite album is Mezzanine, my favourite song is Paradise Circus (the Gui Boratto remix version) from the album Heligoland featuring Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star.
Boston: While my favourite album is Third Stage, my favourite song is Foreplay/Long Time off the debut self-titled album.
Diana Krall: My favourite song is Body and Soul from her Stepping Out album.
Yello: My favourite track, Till Tomorrow, comes from their 2009 album, Touch Yello.
Supertramp: While I like quite a few of their hits, I’m particularly partial to Give A Little Bit from the Even In The Quietest Moments album.
I hope to explore more lesser-known artists in December, but it’s also party month. So, we’ll see…
