50th Anniversary Edition of Abbey Road on Qobuz |
Radio Paradise - Rock Mix |
J.S. Ondara - Tales of America, Tidal. Wow! |
|
Mudhoney - Morning in America
Bruce Cockburn - Crowing Ignites |
Uber, I've had that happen once in a while. I listened on tidal. Where did you try it? |
Well, that's not a change for the positive! I like Qobuz better, but they still lag behind Tidal in terms of content so I keep both. |
I stream in the morning when I sit at my computer before work and for the most part listen to vinyl in the evening with my main system. I do prefer the sound of vinyl, but on my little computer system, streaming sounds great.
I like to check out new stuff streaming and listen to (mostly) old favorites on vinyl. I'm also running out of room to store my vinyl, so lately I've been having to ask myself "do I really need this vinyl, or can I stream it?".
I won't use Amazon's service, no matter how good it gets. I don't support their business practices and have seen first hand how they treat their employees. Someone close to me worked there and they asked her to go "train" staff at a new customer service center in India. She jumped at the chance and thought it was really cool that she got that opportunity until about six months later when they closed the location where she and about 100 other people worked. |
Kraftwerk - 3-D Der Katalog (German Version), Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations, Qobuz Hi-Res
I've tried listening to Muse once or twice and just couldn't get into them. Yesterday I was listening to Radio Paradise and heard a song that really grabbed me. Guess who it was. Giving them another try... |
I guess I still don't care that much for Muse, but Knights of Cydonia is a pretty cool song. |
The UB40 album “Unprecedented” is a return to form for the group
I just picked up Labour of Love on vinyl a few days ago and was planning to check out their new release.
|
Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine, Qobuz. My favorite Floyd. |
@uberwaltz When I was younger I didn't appreciate them, but they grew on me. Listening to Abbey Road, I am impressed by their creativity, musicianship, and craftsmanship. And to think that they were making music like this 50 years ago... They are not for everyone though.
On a side note, when I listened to Abbey Road last night through my Bluesound Node 2 on Qobuz the tracks played gapless, but when I listened this morning using the Qobuz app on my PC, there were gaps between the songs. From what I was able to find, it sounds like Qobuz supports gapless playback. I don't see anything in the settings to turn it on or off. Anyone know how to "fix" that? |
Couldn't make it through Devonwho. Listening to Zombi - 2020, Qobuz. Checking out some new and different stuff. |
Sorry to hear about your hand Uber! I'm listening to Black Light Collective now. My favorite of the evening so far. |
|
The Who - Who Are You? Qobuz Hi-Res |
Los Lobos - Kiko
Los Lobos - How Will the Wolf Survive
Qobuz
Going to see them live tonight! |
Uber - Los Lobos were great! I've never followed them closely, so it was close to seeing a new band, except it was one that has been playing for 45 years and is very tight and has a great repertoire. We were front row center, which was pretty cool. They played some traditional Mexican songs with a variety of stringed instruments that I did not recognize, took an intermission, then rocked out with the electric gear. Definitely recommend seeing them if you get a chance. |
I love Elvis Costello. His records take up a lot of space in my collection and I have multiple copies of a few of them, including a number of the MFSLs (which honestly aren't that great).
My Aim Is True was a fantastic debut, so unlike anything else at the time and such great songwriting. Armed Forces and Blood & Chocolate are two of my other favorites.
He's great live and I love that he's always experimenting and fearless about crossing into other genres. Unlike many artists who have a relatively limited period of creativity, he's still putting out great music. |
We're fortunate to have a some smaller more intimate theaters where some good bands visit regularly. I couldn't decide what to listen to this morning, so I'm letting Tidal pick for me with one of their "my mixes" - Zeppelin, The Doors, Fleetwood Mac, etc. They know me too well! |

@16f4 welcome back, glad to hear things are working out OK. |
If you like Steve Miller, even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to check out his Welcome to the Vault. I have been listening to it the last couple of days on Qobuz. It's CD quality but sounds excellent, especially the live cuts. Some of the alternate versions, like Fly Like an Eagle, are simply outstanding and bring more of the focus onto the song and lyrics than the studio effects. |
Checking out some new music on Qobuz - Dave Holland - Good Stuff. It's living up to its name so far. |

@uberwaltz I just started listening to it. I thought it sounded really good. Not sure I'll sit through all the live stuff. |
The Doors - The Soft Parade 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition - Qobuz Hi-Res. This is really cool, some of the alternate versions are great.
Jeff Lynne's ELO - From Out of Nowhere - Qobuz Hi-Res |
Listening to the 50th Anniversary Edition of Let It Bleed by the Rolling Stones on Qobuz and it sounds fantastic so far! |
Rush - A Farewell to Kings, Qobuz Hi-Res |
Average White Band - AWB, Qobuz, Hi-Res |
Continuing listening to Workingman's Dead, I actually like it a lot. The album proper is one of my favorites, with some great lyrics and the musicianship is excellent. The live pieces are well recorded and sound great. |
