What are you streaming tonight?
uberwaltz, True. I am constantly amazed at what I can find, even at 16/44. So far only a couple of disappointments (Sugar Creek’s “Please Tell A Friend” would be nice on Qobuz, as well as more Jimmy Cliff and Brazilian pop). But CD quality is good for most stuff, I guess. |
uberwaltz , I am trying to listen to albums I used to have in my vinyl collection that I never got around to playing. I go to my Discogs account and hit the random selector; if it’s not in my “Listened” file I find it on Qobuz and stream it. That’s how The Thompson Twins album came up. Quite frankly, I was surprised Qobuz had it. And yes, I noticed that Qobuz is expanding its catalogue rapidly. It is more than I can handle, sometimes. That’s a First World problem. |
Various Artists - Outro Tempo: Electronic and Contemporary Music From Brazil, 1978-1992 Djavan - Luz Outro Tempo is a wonderful compendium of Brazilian electronica from the 80s. Well worth checking out if you like either electronica or Brazilian music from the period. The Djavan album I bought upon its original release in 1983. I lost it years ago during a move and have been looking for it ever since. Happy day! Qobuz |
reubent, “Magnet and Steel” is one of those songs from my high school years I would rather forget, like “Stairway to Heaven”, “Music Box Dancer” and “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)”. Much overplayed during its original release. Of course, around that time I discovered punk and ska so I affected more scorn for pop music than was probably healthy. |
mapman i am a sucker for music trivia! I wasn’t quite sure who the backup singers were so I admit I looked it up. Mind blown and song appreciated. I now have newfound appreciation for this song. A trivia question for you: Djavan’s album “Luz”, recorded in 1982 and released in the US as “Djavan. The song “Samurai” had a harmonica solo...who did it? It’s on YouTube, but if you can find the album on Qobuz it is well worth listening to. |
I’ve been having this problem with my PowerNode 2i these past few months, where I plug in the headphones but I still have some sound coming through my speakers. Just a minor annoyance, nothing to get worked up about. This afternoons firmware update seems to have fixed the issue. But while trying to test Amazon Music streaming I discovered that BlueSound now supports MQA! The Jazz Re:Fest 2020 is set to stream out of the UK on August 23. |
Thelonious Monk - Monk Qobuz Hi-Res Testing out my new Jamo S 808 subwoofer that was delivered from Adorama this morning. Took me some soul-searching to move from two-speaker to 2.1. Still have to tweak the location but so far I like what I hear. Monks piano has added timbre and depth, especially on “Body and Soul”. |
Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman Qobuz Hi-res I think I have listened to this album at least 100 times since it was released. I really am looking forward to the 50th anniversary re-recording when it is released in September. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/yusuf-cat-stevens-re-records-tea-for-the-tillerman-50t... |
ghjuvanni Thanks for the heads up. I was just about to listen to him. Paulo Fresu - Musica da Lettura Qobuz Hi-Res |
