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.
uber, I've had Pandora Premium for a while. Sound quality is nothing to get excited about, I got it mainly to get rid of commercials. I don't listen to it for "serious listening". Its AI is good and it does a nice job of putting together stations. Sound quality is really pretty good, I use it mostly for background music though. You can also search for songs with Premium.
Greg I have never stepped up for Premium as the ads do not bother me overmuch. I have always really liked the AI and I think it does a better job of picking songs than Spotify does, at least for the Stations I have created which do include a few less mainstream artists like Spocks Beard and The Pineapple Thief.
Stumbled on a PBS special tonight featuring the Gibbs and it was a nice reminder that they have a significant book of songs. Listened to mostly non SNF tracks.
I loved the Amazon series, “Hiri/Haji”, and the soundtrack is a lot of fun. I manually made a playlist in Tidal. There are a lot of cool tunes. It’s very Quentin Tarantino-esque.
I watched a documentary on Kanopy last night called “Rudeboy: The Story of Trojan Records” . Pretty good, with interviews of some of the major players and lots of great music. Guess I know what my playlist will be today.
The Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup, Qobuz Hi-Res. This is one of my favorite Stones albums and it's sounding really good. I'm not sure whether it's due to what they did in the Hi-Res mix or if it's the Schiit Bifrost 2 multibit DAC I'm trying out in my computer system, but it sounds better than I remember. It's a deluxe version, with almost 3 hours of songs, not sure I'll make it through all of it.
I think Joe Bonamassa is a very talented guitarist. Also check him out in the band Black Country Communion. That band has Joe,Glenn Hughes,Jason Bonham,and Derek Sherinian. Really good stuff.
Throwing Muses - Sun Racket, Qobuz. A band that I've never checked out. Now I wish I would have sooner. Looks like I'll be going back through their catalog.
Greg I streamed that yesterday and really enjoyed it. I remember my daughter playing them but I never paid too much attention at the time. Now it looks like I am on the same mission as yourself...lol
At last somebody else giving one of my fave British modern prog rock bands a spin. Although it is far from their best work IMHO but still very worthy. Enjoy this holiday weekend and stay safe
Uber, I don't think I would have checked them out had I not seen you mention them a couple of times. I like them and will check out more of their work. Enjoy your weekend!
Yw, 16F4. The balance between her voice and instruments is perfect. Seldom do I listen to a new album straight through then hit play again and do it all over. Thoughtful well written lyrics. Nice to hear real art.
