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".

If you don’t have it, definitely worth adding to your collection. It's older but good.  Song writing is consistently strong.  Many (all?) of the songs written by or with members of The Hooters, if you remember them (All You Zombies). Sound quality is very good throughout, too.

I think Reubent mentioned it recently on another thread.

Gary Oldman is a very underrated actor.
He has had some truly epic supporting roles where he stood out from the main "stars" imho.

Take his role in The Fifth Element. He made Willis look wooden although that is not too hard I admit.
Likewise, uberwaltz...

Have not listened to anything by Sting in some time. Own a few of his solo releases (Dream of the Blue Turtles, The Soul Cages, Ten Summoner’s Tales). I’m not a "completist" (obviously!) though I think his music is well crafted and lyrically he’s one of the more literate writers in popular music.

Excellent use of "Shape of My Heart" (from Summoner’s Tales) in the Luc Besson movie, Leon-The Professional. Great supporting role there too by Gary Oldman (who expresses some strong opinions about classical music).

BoDeans - "Joe Dirt Car"

This is the live 2-CD set. Excellent album. Would love to have been there for this one....
The Alarm - "Standards"

This is the greatest hits collection for The Alarm. Love it........

I think it is fair to say you do not need to place any cushions on the floor to soften the blow from falling off your chair...….

I have heard Steve Tibbets on Tidal but definitely not my cup of tea I am afraid.
I'll fall off my chair if any of you also has this one that I played earlier this evening:

Steve Tibbets - A Man About A Horse (ECM, 2002)
Listening casually to misc. stuff on a "mix cd" while breaking in a new amp.Bones,bones,bones by Greg Brown really got my attention.
Tina Turner is fantastic, agreed!
jafant-

I think you you're onto something

Tina Turner, Simply The Best - CD 

N

Tango in the Night ... Fleetwood Mac.

CD, a very nicely mastered recording IMHO.
Definitely not MY cup of tea G.... Lol.
Sometimes I do think my musical tastes are too narrow but I know what I like.

Just watched a movie tonight as it was Redbox 16cent movie night ( yes I am that cheap!).
Really kicking soundtrack!

Kong: Skull Island.

Worth just listening to the soundtrack on Tidal or similar.
Still stuck on Steven Wilson!

Recordings .. Porcupine Tree.

In all honesty this is more a vehicle for Steven than the Tree as a band.
Still got Steven Wilson stuck in my head.

Stupid Dream .. Porcupine Tree

Vault library
Start the day off with some 🗑

Absolute Garbage that is on CD.

Love this album but hate the sq, it is well overcooked!
Exactly what I do G.

I use Tidal as a giant testing bed and when I find something I really like I usually buy it on vinyl or CD.

I haven’t encountered suddenly missing albums or song titles on a frequent basis but every once in a while something saved will be grayed out and unavailable. I agree with your assessment about giving up control. Don’t want to be at the mercy of the internet powers that be. For that reason, I do still buy regularly if there’s something I find myself coming back to regularly on Tidal or Spotify.
Re things suddenly disappearing on Spotify this to me is one of the biggest downsides with streaming - you do not have any control over the songs you have identified.

 My wife maintains a number of Spotify playlists and regularly finds tracks vanishing only to reappear a few months later often as part of a new album. In other words you are the mercy of the underlying licensing agreements and can at any moment have your favorite music vanish. Do we really want to give up all control over what we listen to?
