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".

128x128ghosthouse
Lori Scacco - Circles

The Police - Live 2CD set

Run Westy Run - Cockroach Park

The Allman Brothers - Shades of Two Worlds
The Notwist - Neon Golden (spectacular sound quality)

Hugh Masekela - Hope (excellent sounding SACD, but not as good as the record above)
Billy Idol, King and Queens of the Underground.
Great albumn. Steve Stevens tags along again.
"Eyes Wide Shut"

pernice brothers, "dimmest star" --one of the purtiest (and certainly saddest) songs of the last 20 years.
chris whitley, "terra incognita"--a lot of this reccord drifts off into the ozone (i prefer his tighter acoustic stuff), but "weightless" is an incredible song. rip
Dave Meniketti, On The Blue Side
"Just Coastin"

Sounds a bit like Stevie Ray on this track. Dig the keyboards.

notorious byrd brothers--their best by a margin, despite the near-absence of gene clark (who according to mcguinn did write the miscredited "get to you") and losing crosby halfway through (he supposedly felt slighted at the inclusion of the carole king songs). i always had an issue with the production, which sounds over-compressed to me, but the songs are unfailingly great + you can hear a lot of clarence white in the background.


Enjoying Allman Brothers first album on 180 gram vinyl but cd (digital) vs. analog (vinyl) is still not settled for me...
Not sure why my post repeated?..
"Sitting on a Cornflake, waiting for the van to come".

Enjoy the Fab Four Guys! Guarantee their music will be here for another 50 years!
Listening to Graham Parker, Squeezing Out Sparks. Gotta good groove. 
"Nobody Hurts You", for example.

ghosthouse-


much information is popping up around the web regarding this release.

XM Radio has been covering this newest edition all week. Very Informative. Over on Steve Hoffman forums, many devoted fans and super-fans of The Beatles are further dissecting this 50th release.


Happy Listening!

jafant -
Thanks for the feedback.
Hmmm...I'm certainly a bit curious about this latest SPLHCB release.  Dunno  though.  I go through periods of heavy listening to the Beatles but it might be years in between...certainly months.  Growing up with them as they were breaking, I guess I don't often feel much of a need to listen now.  I do find your remark about a preference for the '87 CDs interesting.  Need to do some research on the release history.  


ghosthouse-

SQ is very good on the 2017 edition. More clarity, vocals more forward in the new mix.  I will always have a preference for the 1987 CDs.
The 2009 stereo edition is very fine as well. 

There are not any poor Beatles recordings, IMO.

Happy Listening!
the cranberries - "everyone else is doing it, why can't we?"  Been listening to this CD periodically since 1993 and still love it.
@jafant 

Hey there 'j'...
So how good is the SQ on it?  

BTW - it's okay to reply to queries and engage in DIALOG!  :-)

Dr. John/Mercernary/. If you haven't heard this, shame on you. Mostly a collection of Johnny Mercer tunes on the Blue note label.
@astewart8944 - Glad you enjoyed the show and good to know we're in for a good experience. I've been keeping an eye on the setlists from the tour. Seems like it's going to be great one. Our seats aren't great either, but I know U2 has perfected the stadiums show, so I'm not worried about it. One Republic is opening the Louisville show. I'm not a big fan, but my 13 year old son likes them, so I'm happy with the choice of opening act. I'm actually kinda looking forward to seeing a more modern, younger, pop band, just to see how they do it.....
@reubent I saw U2's Joshua Tree tour last night in Dallas. My daughter waited online to buy tickets right when they became available for purchase. We needed six together. We ended up way up high---didn't matter, U2 blew the roof off the place (Jerry World--Cowboy Stadium). Lumineers opened for them. All around great show. I'm playing U2's War right now (Island 1983 RBCD). I remember listening to this LP when it first came out and feeling the band's emotional power. They still have it. 
Okay, you are on. Will check out her music. Know nothing about her.

Hmm...wikipedia entry is interesting.  Another New Englander and contemporary (broadly speaking) of Ives and Ruggles but writing in a very different style.  

Have found several pieces (Gaelic Symphony and others) on Tidal.
I'll see you an Amy Beach who was better than either of them and knew neither ! -----:)
@schubert

S - I’ll see your Ives and raise you a Ruggles, "The Sun Treader". ;-)

(They were friends, you know.)
