What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

The Cult, Ceremony Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are true rock stars! Great CD, on par with Sonic Temple and Electric, IMHO. The title track "Ceremony" https://youtu.be/rR6dYqk0-6E N |
Alvin Lee, Keep on Rockin' "The Bluest Blues" featuring George Harrison on slide guitar. https://youtu.be/rB6OlJqV1rQ N |
Here is a forgotten albumn, Ambrosia, Road Island. Very good albumn. The tilte track is unique and one of my favs from them. "For Openers (Welcome Home) https://youtu.be/FmALM_H-858 N |
Spirit, Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus Great albumn, and one the greatest albumn "covers". "Natures Way" https://youtu.be/YsTK2LHZKPQ N |
I spoke to arcamm88 last evening and he recommended I listen to Paul Kossoff, "Back Street Crawler". Found a gem of a track with Paul Rodgers on vocals. "Molton Gold". https://youtu.be/WmKPNaV2HX0 N |
ghosthouse, Not sure if your a Nazareth fan but arcam88 sent me this link for an unplugged version of "This Flight Tonight". Hope you like it. https://youtu.be/IjSz8tp0cTg N |
ghosthouse, Thanks for the great Bonamossa link. (On the other thread) He's one of the greats. Here's somthing that might appeal to you.. arcam88 sent me a link for Walter Trout. "Got A Broken Heart". https://youtu.be/r3tRhy8noU4 I also found a great recording by Bonamossa & Trout, "Clouds On The Horizon". https://youtu.be/E3WJnCb6wU0 N |
Stevie Stevens, Memory Crash. Good albumn. Remember him from Billy Idol? Also did the guitar work on the Top Gun Movie Anthem. He does a cover of Trowers "Day of the Eagle". https://youtu.be/mzdSkF570Uk N |
ghosthouse, I really like whag Santos is offering also. Glad we found that one. And thanks for the recommendations. For more Jazz fusion, check out Trial X, Through The World. "Chromatic Shuffle" is killer. https://youtu.be/0bgTM9DGU9c (It's a concert video, but not audio) N |
I go through phases where I desire to listen to as much by Golden Earring as possible. They have so much music and talent, IMHO. Today as I was milling around the house, I played The Continuing Story Of Radar Love- twice. And I played the song "Going To The Run"- twice also. It never gets old for me. Highly recommended band with a history longer than the Rolling Stones. https://youtu.be/DbVseptvnz8 N |
Last week I potsted this on my thread. If you have never hear it or its been a while, it’s worth spinning. I have The Classic Years remastered in on CD. Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection. It is in my opinion some of his best. And the recording is amazing. Stereo separation is fantastic, instruments appear in spaces you can reach out and grab. The background is dead quiet. It also contains the original version of "Madman Across The Water". Highly recommended. N |
Thanks everyone for their interest and comments regarding Tumbleweed Connection and other Elton John music and bio. arcam88 recommended this dics while I visited his home a few weeks ago. I've actually been spinning his copy - but was fortunate to pickup my own yesterday at my local shop, Phil's Records. He had the remastered disc in stock. I like all forms of music media, however the best thing about owning CD's (or LP's) is the cover art and the liner notes. Tumbleweed Connection comes with a 12 page sepia colour book chock full of lyrics, liner notes. In fact, some songs from this albumn have been covered by some well known artist. James Taylor's sister Kate, Rod Stweart, Phil Collins and Sting. This compilation was released in 1995. "...Gus Dudgeon: All of the tapes used to create these new masters are the original mixes. However, due to the fact that many of the tapes are at least 25 years old, they have "softened up" to varying degrees. So, the sound has been passed the most up to date digital processing equipment, at 20 bit Resolution: namely The Sadie Digital System and Prism Super Noise Shaper. The effects purely to "enhance" rather than "colour" the sound. As the original producer, I would have used this equipment at the time, had it been available for mastering. The very nature of analogue recordings being transfered to vinyl demanded major compromises. With the benefits of digital sound these constraints are removed, and the recordings can be heard much closer to the reproduction we had originally intended..." Elton has said of 'Tumbleweed Connection' : "Lyrically and melodically, that's one of our most perfect albumns". (ghosthouse, sorry if I hijacked your thread) N |
