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".
Rory Gallagher, Top Priority, CD. Vanessa Fernandez, Sings Zeppelin, SACD Aaron Neville, The very best of Aaron Neville, CD And a song by The Who, "They in love".
Glenn Hughes, The way it is, Keith Emerson is featured on tracks 8 & 12. Not to mention Marc Bonilla has put his stamp on it also. Vocals are some of the best in the biz! Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers Toto, Hydra Kerry Livgren, Seeds of change
Nutty, Great choice. I consider Dirt to be one of the very best albums by any American rock band ever. Totally authentic, always fascinating and frequently sad. Virtuosity from the entire band. I can't imagine ever growing tired of anything on that disc.
George Lynch, Sacred groove.....one of my guitar hero's. George is fantastic on this one. Also included are vocals from Mathew and Gunner Nelson and one track featuring the great Glenn Hughes. I like the last track best."Tierra Del Fuego".
fig dish, that's what love songs often do--replacement-ish chicago band that had a brief major label fling in the wake of smashing pumpkins. massive, crunchy guitar hooks, great dynamics and a lot of fun. arab strap, red thread--dour, poetic lyrics chanted over thick, lush guitar textures; somewhere in the neighborhood of nick cave or tindersticks, but somehow more engaging than either. very highly recommended.
Last night was The Music of Eric Von Essen Vol. I & II. An interesting Nels Cline connection here, for anyone interested ( @jafant , @loomisjohnson ). Pretty much "standard" jazz with a little twist. There is a 3rd volume as well, didn't get to it.
For a change of pace, switched off to All Tiny Creatures, "Harbors".
Thanks for the further comments comparing Beck vs Holdsworth, Steve.
I tried AH's "Wardenclyffe Tower" last night. Maybe it just gets off to a slow start...really didn't do much for me though I didn't get through more than the first three tracks. I will try Metal Fatigue. I have collected several Jeff Beck LPs including Blow by Blow & Wired. I like BbyB very much - prefer it to Wired by a large margin.
