Played Toast for the first time this evening. It is absolutely superb - far superior to Barn in many ways.
In 2000, Neil Young and Crazy Horse took up residence at Toast – a recording studio on San Francisco’s Mission Street.

Read for yourselves about the reworking/retitling of some tracks bobbing up elsewhere - without Crazy Horse, I'm not bothered about that or that part of the history.
To my old ears this album isn absolute corker and the best of a bunch.
I love the way its been recorded - not murky, like Barn; no overlong tedious tracks (inc the streamy ones); easy sound and not abrasive - I love noise and abrasion but the balance here is just perfect; great songs with fantastic instrumentation; some delightful twists and surprises - a delight- with nods to the likes of Frank Zappa, Miles Davis and Deep Purple.
This is a great album.
I have got really excited about this one - I will be playing it again on Hi-Res Qobuz again tomorrow - at least once- and buying a copy when the price comes down!
This album has made me happy.
