Another few sleepers: a first gen pressing of: Randy Newman’s Sail Away; Roberta Flack’s Chapter Two, 10cc’s Deceptive Bends; David Crosby’s If Only I Could Remember my Name; and Brubeck’s Countdown — Time in Outer Space.
Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
I think many of us would accept that artists such as Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, and Dire Straits have consistently put out music that was at least originally recorded to a high technical standard. [I'm not too sure what the loudness wars may have done to subsequent reissues, but even so, the tone and timbre thankfully tends to remain intact.]
However there must be plenty of lesser known recordings out there that could be said to be of a high sonic standard.
One such recording that I like to put on in the background whilst I'm doing other things is a piano recording that features wonderfully lush timbre and some delightful tunes.
This one is The Disney Piano Collection by Hirohashi Makiko and to me it makes a lot of other piano recordings sound a little washed out.
