On tube dac....

Do you know if any of her music is on vinyl @tomic601?

@tomic, @16f4, @vair68robert, A poignant grief well met, well said, well done men.  

@big_greg   Thanks.  And as you see here your tag doesn’t work for me, at least not on this attempt...

Still liking your 1200?
@tomic601

Thanks bro, you turned me on to Antje awhile back. Love it. 

BTW, this Bonny Light Horseman just keeps getting better with every listen. I don’t really know much about popularity but this seems destined for the best of lists and maybe for classic status.
It’s sparse and simple but with weight.  Something to do with songs that have survived Ages maybe.   Confident musicians.  
Funny how when this was first dropping on the services I just assumed it was a new group that just had really good influences.  Now it still seems fresh but also wise.    


Oh @slaw , now I get it.  She’s on Yeprock (&distributed by redeye) there in NC.   Worth the wait bro.  When did we pre order?  November maybe?
@slaw 

yeah well, she loves me, what other explanation could there be...

Aren’t you a little surprised too that they got this out at all.  I think there is going to be a gap here for awhile on delivery of new pressings. 
Anyway, after you get yours tomorrow please let me know what you think of the sound of the second/final cut on side two.  

Arriving in a plain brown wrapper this morning was:

Aoife O’Donovan
Bull Frogs Croon

45 EP signed in silver sharpie on the photo insert

SQ is very nice and the music is beautiful.  What a voice.  Nobody like her.  I think that for you fellows that are really into Linda Ronstadt you might find you appreciate the caliber of this woman’s voice.

Can anyone tell me how the tag function on here works.  Seems inconsistent.  Some take, and some don’t.  For example, I’ve never been able to tag Uber.  
Listening99,

Great post.  I checked out that album Last evening and it is as you describe.  I enjoyed it very much, thanks.  Please keep posting.

That’s a nice cartridge you got there @drrsutliff and +1 on the Stanley Clark.  He could get a little flashy on those solo albums but what a musician.   



Ghosts sounds characteristic and like it has good production.  Great separation and dynamics.  Balanced electric and acoustic in the mix.  Plan to pre-order this if I can.  
@bgross
Soundtrack Record of Peaky Blinders Show is really good.  Nick Cave, et. al.   I may be in a small minority being predisposed to open mindedness about soundtracks.  Some of my favorite albums are soundtracks.  Maybe it’s the cinema-graphic sentimentality ... 
Glen Miller
The Complete Glen Miller 1941-1942 (Volume VIII)
RCA Mono 1980

Sounds pretty good


+1 on the Nick Cave @noromance

Red Right Hand haunts me nearly constantly lately.  
@slaw   no sorry turning in.  Moonflower reminds me of college dorm life.  I had a roommate who played the mid-late 70s Santana pretty constantly.  I listened to sides 1&2 and it was really nostalgic.  That was such a good time for music.  
+1 on the Neck & Neck

@slaw got your pm.  Sorry it took so long for me to notice your last one.   
Lots of good music coming out the last couple of months.   More albums that I want than I can buy.  Kind of nice In a way if you think about it.  
Buenos Noches Amigo.

Streaming this after idea came from @jet88 on another thread.  Thanks!


@j_damon, +1 on Crossings. One of my favorite Oregon records.

Unfortunately though my wife will not tolerate it, so when she’s home I play a lot of cello music....

beautiful on antique mono 

Heliodor H 25017

this is some of that often anthologized ‘Mozart to Relax to’ or ‘Mozart for your as yet unborn baby’ ....   but so beautiful.  Really.  
@uberwaltz,

there is a set of spatials for sale in Los Angeles.  Might be same model as yours.  are you loving yours still.  Should I buy these for my 2nd system in the 12’x13’ den?  How far out from the wall would you recommend?  Thanks Bro.  
Jim!  Ha! Yeah.  He does write like I think.  Although it might sound a little pretentious if you haven’t made yourself familiar with the music, I agree and appreciate what he said.  I have experienced this with a scant few other works. Keith Jarret’s Vienna Concert recording is one.  And I think similar things have been said by Jarrett and others about this recording.  E.g. not just close to or flirting with the flame but actually in it - or something like that.   GG is weird but truly genius.  iMHO.  
BTW, I keep enjoying that clarinet music you turned me on to the other day.   Thanks again for that.
