Right now I am listening to ...

Turntables from ₹16,900.00
A real landmark, haunting lyrics with music to match. My personal favorite is " Tum Gaye" by Hariharan.

Listening to two great jazz albums - Miles Davis' Kind of Blue and Art Pepper's Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. Kind of Blue is apparently the largest selling jazz album ever.
 
Remember Shakti (on Grooveshark)

I am not a music aficionado and like music as a casual listener. But after setting up my AV have started listening to non-Bollywood songs again after a hiatus of 15 years! And I chanced upon this group. I had heard about Shakti but not that they had regrouped to form 'Remember Shakti'. What beautiful music !! Made me forget about the everyday drudgery of Mumbai life.

Does someone has more background about the history of this band (apart from the Wiki stuff)? I am quite curious to find out whether their music is pre-planned i.e. composed beforehand or is it a spontaneous rendition during the performance (like the Indian classical jugalbandis following some popular raags)

Not much idea about the history. But if you like the sound of that band, you will probably like similar combos like Zakir Hussain's Making Music (featuring John McLaughlin on guitar, Jan Garbarek on tenor and soprano saxaphones, and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia). You may also like Jan Garbarek's collaboration with Nusarat Fateh Ali Khan on Ragas and Sagas.

Testing my HT setup with The Chemical Brothers - Surrender.
Awesome tracks that blows away the sub... especially the track "Under the Influence".

To be honest, I'm not so much of a classics-head that I take much notice!

I make an exception for Mahler's 1st. I have two or three recordings, but the one that has grabbed my attention to the extent that I only listen to it is The New York Philharmonic, conducted by Bruno Walter. Right from the start, the low, background note of the strings is almost menacing in the way it grabs one.

Mahler's 2nd, I usually listen to Kaplan's performance, London Symphony Orchestra. The story of Mr Kaplan and Mahler's 2nd symphony is a fascinating one.

Here is a fascinating comparison of Mahler recordings: The Mahler Symphonies (A synoptic survey by the late Tony Duggan)
