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".

Gawdbless

Now their are two blasts from my past indeed!

Remember seeing both of them live back in Blighty!

You can call the Quo the original three chord wonders but boy did they put on a rock n roll show live!
Ian Dury and the Blockheads- New Boots and panties...followed by Status Quo- Blue for you.
N - Is Donati new to you or were you already up on him?

In This Life has great sonics.  Not the most melodic thing I've ever listened to but it is interesting.  Might be one of those things that rewards time invested.  

Later.  
No problem, of course, U.  I certainly can't make a steady diet of this stuff.  re old age and listening preferences, I expect I know what you mean.  I'm also guessing I'm a few years up on you!


Ghosthouse, 

Virgil Donati - great drummer. Track "Eleven" has a great groove and as you indicated,,, great recording.

Cruising through Icefish now. Again, great drummer! Great recording. Need to give it some time.

So this is what I am listening to tonight.

Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert live.

Tidal
Virgil is one heck of a skinman for sure but overall those albums are a little too metal for me... Lol
Older age and warts and all now.

👴👴👴
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.

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.

The House of Hair internet radio station.

Some great tunes on here, lazy day!
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.

Thanks for the Shout out ghost! I agree with you. Glenn Hughes pours out his soul on that CD. Great sound quality as well. 

His Addiction albumn is good to. 

N

Great Hughes album there G!

Famous Last Words ... Supertramp.

Not one of their better known works but really nicely produced and some good tracks.
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...)

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
Walk Between Worlds ... Simple Minds

Tidal MQA upsampled even further to 24/192.
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
Gotterdammerung, Joseph Keilberth, Bayreuth 1955, Testament label. 
Led Zepplin - s/t (now 50 years old). I cannot imagine life without "Communication Breakdown".  Play it LOUD!
Dream Theater - Awake

Check out track 2, Caught In A Web
Amazing - an over-used adjective, but totally fitting in this case - musicianship.

Thanks to Nutty for recommending this one.
Well, that should have been "SuRfer King" last night. Not that anyone’s paying attention.

So far tonight...
Yellowjackets - A Rise In The Road
Track 8 An Amber Shade of Blue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImuJn7MRGQU

Now...
Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (as suggested by my friend Pokey77)
Track 5, Side With The Seeds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkMXkirbq_o&frags=pl%2Cwn
Great guitar work from Nels Cline throughout the album.

All the above and almost every night, if it ain't Tidal then it's ripped CDs through an Aries Mini into a Gungnir MB DAC.    
Hail Mary ...Dark New Day

Ripped CD to Aries Mini.

A very short lived supergroup mores the pity imho
Born to Run, currently (Hoffman master)
Previously, And Justice... for All
Upcoming, Pantera and Van Halen.

And football. 
Happy New Year to you too, Jafant.

We be Buckcherry ignorant.  Will investigate.  

Meanwhile, more Massive Attack:  Protection

"...you say the magic's gone,

you say the spark's gone,
well, get an electrician...."
