David Crosby's hippie era "If I Can Only Remember My Name" on Qobuz. My provider can't seem to deliver it in Hi-Def but the CD transmission level still sounds marvelous. Clean. 3D. Notably lifelike vocal and guitar tone. Jerry Garcia and a host of other notables of the era contribute to the music's mellow good-timey trance aura. Stream it. Be it.
What are you streaming tonight?
As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

Yesterday I read an interview with Plant and Krauss in The Telegraph (UK). I copied it - its not long. Here's a bit - Krauss grew up in Champaign, Illinois playing fiddle and singing just such songs. On a Zoom call from Nashville, she gets suddenly tearful recalling the lifechanging impact of seeing sibling bluegrass artists Jim & Jessie, the Osborn Brothers and the Del McCoury Band at a County Fair in 1979. “It’s singing so close you can’t tell one voice from another. It makes me emotional just talking about it, it’s so sweet,” she says. “It is precision singing. As a lead rock vocalist, Robert is so much the opposite of that. The ranges of our voices land in different places, and the fact that it doesn’t blend is what makes the blend. It creates a third voice.” "It’s like being at night school,” says Plant. “I’m still learning the different flexing of harmonic options. You can hear me fitting in almost like some sort of vocal jigsaw puzzle.” When I ask if this is difficult for him, he says “Oh yeah, it’s hellish! It’s a whole different mindset,” says Krauss. “It creates quite a feeling to hear him in that harmony role, because the identity of his lead singing is so powerful. It’s a voice that’s been part of everyone’s musical experience for decades.” When Plant and Krauss toured together during 2008, they performed Led Zeppelin’s Battle of Evermore, with Krauss singing Sandy Denny’s parts (the sublimely talented Fairport Convention singer who died in tragic circumstances at the age of 31 in 1978). “I’d look over, and there’s Robert, and I just got chills.” |
@noske Thanks for sharing that, very cool! I think it's a great pairing and they both are great writers. |
@uberwaltz - Hey Kevin! Hope you are well and hope you're still looking in on us occasionally... Since I installed Volumio on my Raspberry pi3 w/HiFIBerry DAC + Pro streamer, I've been streaming Radio Paradise almost endlessly. I just leave it running, so there is music playing any time I step down into my basement. I really only stop streaming Radio Paradise when I sit down for a vinyl listening session. Radio Paradise, FLAC Main-Mix, sounds so good, and has such good content, that I've rarely listened to anything else recently. Well, except vinyl, but that's not the point of this thread.... |
Hey @reubent were is @uberwaltz lately? Taking a break?
|
@16f4 - Uberwaltz checked out from A-goN around Sept. 2020 for personal reasons. Really too bad too (for us). I thoroughly enjoyed his presence here. |
Dominique Fils-Aimé -- great find indeed! And my great find is: https://www.o-tonemusic.de/en/release/tales/

Neil Young - Barn, Qobuz Hi-Res. I may have to listen to it again. There was a lot to like about it, but some of his political statements seemed to get in the way of the enjoyment of the music. It's not about agreeing or disagreeing with his sentiments, they just weren't as enjoyable as some of the other songs. |
@femoore12 - Morcheeba - The Antidote
I haven't hear that one. I'll give it a listen. Have you heard - Morcheeba - "Big Calm"? I really like it. Have it on vinyl. |
@reubent - Morcheeba “Big Calm” I haven’t heard that one, but I will give it a try tonight. Thanks for the recommendation. I just picked up The Antidote album. I’ve been streaming it so much I felt I needed to buy a physical copy. |
Morcheeba - Big Calm Thanks @reubent for the recommendation. Its a great album. |
@femoore12 - You're welcome Brother! Sharing good music is what it's all about... |
