Many of my purchases of music recordings over the past few years has been to support New Bands. When buying their Hard Media it certainly helps substantially with the revenues they receive as a Performer/Group. If Americana is your taste, I am just about to pull the trigger on both Vinyl and CD from a Group call boygenius. I recommend a listen to this wonderful trio. |
Herb Alpert-Solid Brass Side 2 Robin Trower-Bridge Of Sighs Side 1 Bobby Vinton-Take Good Care Of My Baby Side 2 Joni Mitchell-Court And Spark Side 2 SQ* Paul Bley-Copenhagen And Haarlem Side 3 SQ Audiophile Pat Benatar-In The Heat Of The Night Side 2 Bartok-Dorati/Detroit(CS 7120) Side 1 SQ Audiophile The Ken Peplowski Quintet-Sonny Side(CJ 376) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Sunday night clean power at its best! Only Vinton disappointed on SQ and content but was a mint budget find(flyer). The rest of these recordings speak for themselves only Ken Peplowski(CJ 376) needs a shoutout, great 5* content that also takes the SQ crown tonight. |
Ian Hunter-Welcome To The Club Side 3 We Five-You Were On My Mind(1969 repress) Side 2 Charlie Shoemake-Satin Nights Side 2 SQ Audiophile Joan Sutherland-Voice Of The Century(OSA-13107) Side 3 SQ Audiophile The Doors-Other Voices(Santa Maria pressing) Side 1 SQ* Cleo Laine-Born On A Friday Side B SQ Audiophile Authur Fiedler-Glenn Miller’s Biggest Hits- Side 1 SQ Audiophile Della Reese-C’mon And Hear Della Reese(ABCS-524) Side 2 Played 3 more of my mint 1960’s budget bin finds We Five/Fiedler and Reese. Curious if anyone has Reese/One More Time ABCS-589 and could comment on SQ. Fiedler had excellent dynamics but lacked a slight level of engagement, Sutherland had an excessive noise floor. Toss up between Cleo/Shoemake for the SQ crown. Maybe Chad Kassem will finally complete The Doors studio catalog? |
I think you can say that about a lot of ‘80’s New Wave music, Divinyls being a good example. That doesn’t matter to me, I like it as is. It’s as if the band wants it to sound that way. |

@bslon, agree on wicked gravity-- not to be a downer but i did think the production on the record was kinda flat/compressed, which is really surprising since (i just learned) it was engineered by bob clearmountain, who usually makes things sound huge. my pick du jour--gillian welch/hell among the yearlings. like navin johnson says in "the jerk", there's something about those songs that depress me... |
This is from last night’s listening session: Shadowfax - Watercourse Way / most people think of this band as a ’new age’ band, but their 1st release was pure intense prog. Not new age at all. They only went in the new age direction when they signed with Windham Hill records.
John Abercrombie - Timeless / killer fusion with Jack DeJonnette on drums, and Jan Hammer on keys.
And finally Charles Wuorinen - Chamber Concerto For Cello & 10 Players (1963) / Ringing Changes, For Percussion Ensemble (1970) / both very uncompromising and ’thorny’ sounding pieces, but great! Not only that, this recording has large, natural sounding, well layered soundstage, with great imaging within the soundstage.
