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".

Welcome, delta77 Thanks for the music recommendation. Din’t know Fortunate Youth but found ’em on Tidal. Got their self-titled album playing now (the one that starts with Be Strong). I got a soft spot for reggae. Back atcha...Black Uhuru live (sorry 'bout the video quality)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CwHsEF2Tuc&frags=pl%2Cwn |
Moby - Innocents Track 3, Almost Home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq_VkETFPzQ Track 5, The Perfect Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paO3Zm6OvY4&frags=pl%2Cwn Track 11, The Lonely Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZABo8G94cI |
This thread was started back in Spring of 2012 - almost 7 years ago; "Streaming" was not nearly as widely used as it is today. While CDP was used in the title to play off the long running, "What's On Your Turntable Tonight" thread, the idea was to provide a window on what the "digital minority" were listening to and to generate a (selective) personal listening journal. From the very beginning (see the OP's second post in), whether CDP, streaming or playback of ripped files, all forms of digital music are welcome here. |
@ tboooe; do you have (or know about) Bic Runga's two live albums: 1) "Live in Concert with the Christchurch Symphony - BIC RUNGA (03) 2) "Together in Concert: Live" - TIM FINN, BIC RUNGA & DAVE DOBBYN (00). I picked these up years ago. Both of them were recorded in New Zealand; and, both are great. I recall they were imports, as well as being a bit pricey and hard to find. |
Not in my cdp either... Do not even have one in my main system any more! But some great tunes nonetheless. Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol 1 on the real deal cassette as per the movie. One fun part of listening to this is visualizing the part of the movie each song fits! One of my daughter and myself fave movies along with the highly irreverent Deadpool! Fancy that ! Cassettes still being made in 2018! |
@shadorne Thanks for sharing the Brian Auger appreciation. I'm actually old enough to remember Brian Auger and the Trinity. He and Julie were getting some FM airplay back then. This Live In Los Angeles 2 CD recording is relatively new (2015, I believe). Good sound quality, by the way. The guy is a survivor but even more, seems to have kept his musical spark going. I didn't get through the whole thing last night so looking forward to continuing later today. He's also on CAB2, guesting with Brunel, MacAlpine, and Chambers. Check that one out if you don't know it. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&... |
Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express - Live in Los Angeles (not crazy about the vocals...but Brian's keyboard work is worth it and then some) Straight Ahead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EnzdHNOEso |
Going to continue in same vein with some more good ol Brit rock,n,roll. Homewreckers and Heartbreakers .... The Quireboys. One of the best live high energy rock,n,roll shows I ever saw was a double header of The Quireboys and The Dogs at The infamous Boat Club in Nottingham. One of the small clubs Led Zep got their start in! A blast from start to end! |
Ghosthouse, Virgil Donati - great drummer. Track "Eleven" has a great groove and as you indicated,,, great recording. https://youtu.be/LNng2e3nco0 Cruising through Icefish now. Again, great drummer! Great recording. Need to give it some time. |

For Nutty & Uberwaltz - Glad you liked the CAB Live On Sunset, N. Reading credits got me interested in what other work Virgil Donati had been involved with. Quite a lot as it turns out. A couple of things that might bear further listening. You two being bigger fans of metal than I...figured I'd suggest these, tho' perhaps you already know 'em.... Virgil Donati - In This Life Just started it. Track 4 now. Lots of heavy metal riffing, scales and deep bass. Crazy complex time signatures. Instrumental (so far). Very good sound quality. https://www.allmusic.com/album/in-this-life-mw0002586822/credits Icefish - Human Hardware Sampled it briefly last night. Has vocals. Dunno if it is any good. The musicianship seems of a high order. That doesn't mean the songs are any good. Some of the same personnel as on In This Life. https://www.allmusic.com/album/human-hardware-mw0003141597/credits |

Ghosthouse, Listened to your CAB, Live on Sunset recommendation. What an amazing live recording. One of the best in a long time. Red Dragon Cartel, "Havana" - Jake E. Lee's newest effort. Not quite as tight as CAB. https://youtu.be/JyZwyFWWzw8 N |
Glenn Hughes - The Way It Is Not a weak track in the entire thing...it just builds, strength on strength, track after track. Has held up to repeated listening over many months now. Another solid recommendation from the Nut man. Track 11, Take You Down (I Will Never...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpv0cX0Wo2k |
CAB - Live On Sunset Bunny Brunel, Tony MacAlpine, Virgil Donati, Dennis Hamm. Excellent sounding live recording (SQ, music & performances). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNy0M4vS485lkE5Lr-zL6Es5flIzdXrJl |
ghosthouse - Saw your comments on Dream Theater. I think the Awake albumn is my favorite and very! Well produced. Glad you liked them. Revisit tracks 6, 10, 11. TKO, Let It Roll - great Seattle band from the late 70’s. "Kill The Pain" https://youtu.be/onLVDYHrIus |
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f87wyxIfKjE&list=PLdCzHSDd0DiuKJs2oECwXm8wxgMgVt4CH |
