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.

Hahahahahah,SAMURAI JACK via Xfinity High Speed Internet,the epp.where Scottsmans wife is kidnapped..The soundtrack is amazing,if you've ever heard really good Bag Pipes  up close you know they can be strident enough to break glass,here the pipes are absolutely glorious on the KT88 driven Harbeths at near live levels!
Cat Power - Jukebox

Some fine SQ here too. Remember Lee Clayton - Silver Stallion.

Tidal 
Achtung Baby ... U2

Followed by...

Black Coffee ... Beth Hart.

These two could not be further apart in SQ!

As others have said Actung baby is very compressed and lacking in dynamics.

Black Coffee is so musical and dynamic it is seductive.
Ketchup.
I moved to the Vault2,then an Auralic Aries Mini, now using my new Ayre ex8 super integrated.

I would say a definite improvement in SQ at the vault2,incremental at the Mini and another leap with the Ayre.
uberwaltz,
I have had my Squeezebox for ever and it won’t die. What are you using now, a Vault 2? Is the sound any better than the Squeezebox when streaming Tidal or whatever?

Nomzamo ... IQ.

Still my favourite IQ album,very musical and accessible. Not as concept Like as some of their later efforts.
Ketchup.

Nice to see someone still using a Squeezebox.

What I started streaming with.
G.

Brand X was surprisingly refreshing, excellent musicianship all round.

And as for Kate, when you think that album was released at 19 years of age and some of the songs she had wrote at 13 years old.....

Child prodigy and I love how she refused to bow to record label pressure. She called the shots on releasing Wuthering heights. She refused to tour in support of albums ( 2 tours only in her entire career) and when studios got stroppy she built her own studio!

Indeed what is not to love!
Good you weren't "stuck" with Consequences, U.  Also nice to know there's at least one other fan of it out there.

Did you find Brand X to your liking (with or without aid of Bailey's and Hot Chocolate)?

As far as Kate Bush...what's not to love?




Product ... Brand X.

There you go G.

Looks like Quboz has full catalog of their work.

I find this one to be pretty accessible.


Btw as far as consequences goes, I recorded to tape then sold the box set to someone who was over the moon with it so it all worked out.

G.

Been even longer since I listened to Brand X!

I think need be in right mood for that, maybe later with a hot chocolate and Bailey's!
Glad you enjoyed the recording quality, U.  Have to agree with your comment about later Genesis being too poppy and chart driven.  I pretty much stopped following them after "...And Then There Were Three" (though Duke, Abacab and the '83 s/t Genesis still have good material on them).  

Hopefully this recommendation serves you better than Consequences did! 

If at all interested in exploring Collins' drummer chops in a completely non-commercial (fusion) vein, pull up some Brand X.  Unorthodox Behavior  is on Tidal but I don't know about Quboz.
Definitely time well spent but I am afraid it does appear that it is indeed my first listen.

Have to admit to not being a huge Genesis fan, there early stuff was too far out for me and their later stuff too poppy and chart driven ( not that I blame Mr Collins for that at all, after all money is money!).


First impression of this was what a superb recording, really dynamic and expansive.

Second impression was that it might just be about the right mix of prog and rock to be palatable for myself.

It will certainly get more airtime


Hoping you find it time well spent, U.

Curious what you think (though I doubt it is your first listen).
I have to blame Ghosthouse and Stevecham for this next one.

😇😇😇😇


A Trick of the Tail ... Genesis.

Quboz
n80.

Likewise I regret never having the opportunity to see the classic Journey.
Steve Perry does indeed possess a voice for sure,I have a very recent solo album of his "Traces" and the guy can still sing.

Tonight 

Let your Hair Down ... Steve Miller Band.


Quboz
@uberwaltz : I regret that I never saw Styx or REO Speedwagon. Foreigner was a good show but of the ’guitar bands’ Journey was the best. Steve Perry had some pipes.

Tonight:

The Civil Wars - eponymous

Listened to "The Best of Everything" last night. I’ll probably buy it at some point. Everyone has that one song they wish they’d put on it. Mine would be "Born a Rebel". Not very PC these days, but a fine song.
Best of Everything ... Tom Petty.

Quboz hires.

Agree with Ozzy, flat and lacking in dynamics.

Could have been a lot better.
Just for n80.

Paradise Theater ... Styx.

I think the only tour they visited England with in the 70,s was in support of this album.

Outdoor stadium type venue.
Blew my mind!
I'm listening to  DRIFT Episode 2 “ATOM” on Tidal this morning with headphones.
But I went with this instead....

Shock ... Tesla

Nice to see them still rockin 

Quboz
Greg
great mnds, I was just looking at that on Quboz picks.

Whitesnake, ultimate hair band of the late 80,s early 90,s.

David Coverstar at his chest wig finest!
Jimmy LaFave

"Trial three"

Lots of live demos/recordings. Alltogether five trials. RIP.
