Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align


Lately I’ve found myself alternating between music I love (but sounds mediocre) and music I don’t know well or only like (but sounds incredible).

Occasionally, I stumble across a track where the song could both serve as a great show off piece for my gear and I love the music.

If you can, name up to 3 songs where the audio and song quality take you over the moon with pleasure.

It’s an interesting question, since prior to 20 years ago, recorded music took a ton of equipment and expertise to produce a sound. Some focused on that sound, often it was to be as expedient and profitable as possible. Nowadays with digital techniques, I’d say things sound like the musicians and producers want it to sound. Still, many recordings don’t fit everyone’s taste, but here’s 3

  • Anna calls from the arctic - Dry cleaning. Fantastic record
  • Lentissimo halo - Juana Molina  she’s amazing and the bass ideas here… wow
  • Gestures - Carmen villain- why keep playing those ancient techno tracks. the sounds you can make with machines are infinite. Here’s a sample. 

The Day I Walk-K.D. Lang

Theme from Southern Comfort-Ry Cooder

Brush with the Blues-Jeff Beck

Hotel California - Eagles live

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Take 5 - Dave Brubeck 

Well to show off the system and love the music...

Pretty much anything Dire Straits.  In order top 3: You and you're friend, Brothers in Arms, Romeo and Juliet

Pink Floyd again pretty much anything... In order top 3 Hey You, Comfortably numb, Brain Damage

Voice: Frank Sinatra, Bewitched, Carpenters, I need to be in love (You will love how your system handles this)

Blues:  Big Mama Thorton, Ball and Chain,  Stevie Ray Vaughn, the sky is crying.

 

OK that is enough...LOL
