another good one @dayglow |
I have the Lighthouse album too @dayglow and enjoy it. I like a lot of bands like that from that era. |
+1 for Deserters Song. I came to Mercury Rev later on - really like them. |
….. have been frustrated lately with sellers that don't understand the meaning of NM or NM-.
I've also been unhappy with a number of remastered or new pressings of older albums when compared to my original copies from the 60's or 70's when I find that the new pressings don't compare to the dynamics of the originals. I guess you win some and lose some. Yep

Now this, for good or ill, sounds just like the sound at concerts I’ve been to lately, well before all this lockdown anyway. And the talent and live energy of these players - whew! |

I liked Chairs Missing so much I bought 4 copies back in the day (3 are still sealed and no, I'm not selling any of them!) You could play all four at once. |

@noromance Albert Lee – Speechless (MCA 1986)
I've ignored this for years. I tried it again as it has a hype sticker proclaiming the use of "audiophile KC569 vinyl." Anyhow, it's freakin' excellent. Streaming “Speechless” now. Always had great respect for his work but hadn’t listened to one of his solo albums in many years. Thanks! It is really good. And no dumb lyrics to spoil it… |

@bkeske +1 on”We Get Requests” |
@tomic601 Re: Silje, I agree about the RLJ musical associations. Silje has a lot less funk & grit though. if you find yourself interested, try the album “A Thousand True Stories” maybe begin with the track “Based on a Thousand True Stories” I find it conveys dream state emotions so sad wrapped in such sweet sound - emotional wolf in sheep’s clothing - can be very effective. The other records of hers you might try are the jazz/pop “At First Light” and “Nightwatch”. It’s not traditional Urban Jazz but to me her music is legit in it’s emotional appeal. YMMV of course. |
The Teskey Brothers
Half Mile Harvest
@tomic601 There was a RSD copy left yesterday so I bought it half with you in mind in case you didn’t make it to a store - You’d been on such a Danstand lately. The other half had designs on keeping it if you didn’t need it, don’t you already have a copy Steve @slaw ?
Incidentally, I’m getting almost completely fed up enough with record scalping not to buy into it any longer. Almost…
I know there are those folks who buy two copies of limited releases: one to play and one for “investment”. This may be within the bounds of legality but I believe it’s wrong. Shameful in fact. Because it is not about the music. |
Silje Nergaard
A Thousand True Stories
|
This is her first album and not my favorite really (it’s a little uneven) but it features Pat Metheny and her impossibly sweet voice. She’s written and performed other albums (two in particular) that are pretty much genius and quite unique. Major admiration for and music crush on this woman. |

@gardners501, you’re quite welcome. Give yourself plenty of time if you go - there are veins of gold to be found in that mountain.

Well, I apologize Jim @tomic601 , I can’t find Metals. It was in Heavy rotation bin awhile back I know but can’t seem to track where it went from there. If I run across it any time soon I’ll report. I wouldn’t care to doubt Tim’s assessment though. Funny that I don’t remember it having poor sq. Music first I suppose.

His Masters Voice 1982 Repress
There are some expensive reissue of this (including by the Electric Recording Company) but even this humble repress is one of the most amazing sounding recordings I’ve ever heard. Very real. Very detailed. And the music is very very moving. @bkeske, Brian, if you don’t have this one already you really should check it out.
|
@boxer12, you may be right about “Metals” Tim, I will check too. I don’t think I’ve ever streamed it and so am probably biased. Hope I didn’t mislead you Jim. Just love that record. |
Hey! I just bought a record of Debussy piano music this afternoon. It need a wash though.
Hauled quite a respectable stack away from Crossroads. This is a vast used (only) record store/cooperative deal in deep SE Portland with maybe 40 different vendors offering, each in their own section. I think I’ve posted about it before. It might be one of the last places around where somebody can still do some old fashioned bin diving. Like having Discogs under one roof. |
@tomic601 hey Jim, yes I have “Metals” on vinyl and it’s very good. Steve has it too. That is an album worth buying the record (as they say…) |
@bkeske, yes, of course we discussed that record, and, compared it to the same concerto and soloist but conducted by barbirolli with the LSO the latter being the (much) superior recording but the former being full of sweetness and life. |

I use my SAE 5000A for that song @fiesta75, How easy or difficult is it to take that in and out of your analogy chain? Is it on a switch? Do you think either the switch and/or the SAE compromise your sound quality? |
