In the car today I noticed my phone still had Bluetooth switched on and it had connected to my car's system. Never tried music from it so fired up Spotify Premium and it was excellent!
This album from Dio had come up on my Spotify stream - not listened to it in over 30 years and forgotten how good it was. Used to be a great favourite back when it came out in '83 and saw the band live at Manchester Apollo on the tour for the album. Vivian Campbell was a great young guitarist back then and absolutely thunderous drumming from Vinny Appice.

I often stream Spotify in my car on the turgid commute.

Ooh this is good, not heard before, how can a pop/new wave band go to this🤔 Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden Well certainly they really moved on from that It is a really good album and rewards on constant listening It took ages to record and the record company dropped them afterwards but what a influential album Perhaps the start of post rock

A gorgeous performance by Natalie Merchant accompanied by Abena Koomson-Davis (starting at 31:54).

She is a terrific performer. It's only in recent times I have fully appreciated her singing - especially Carnival.

I agree and have been a fan since her days with 10,000 Maniacs. "Paradise is There: The New Tigerlily Recordings" is an especially fine album I think. The intensity of her 'live' performances is utterly mesmerising I think.

Natalie Merchant "Rarities". This is avaiable as part of the CD box set of her work which I do have, but in the UK. Nonsuch Records have 'recently' released it as a digital download (16 / 44.1 FLAC) along with "Butterfly" and I could not resist and so it is now playing from file with "Butterfly" queued to follow it.
