Gidon Kremer - Edition Lockenhaus Vol. 1/2. ECM New Series, 2 LP gatefold 1986 German pressing. All live from the Lockenhaus Festival.

Jimbo & Andrew  So much talent.  
Does anybody remember the Squirrel Nut Zippers? I don’t listen to that music very much anymore but was really into it about 25-30 years ago.  Royal Crown Review and The Big Kahuna were other favorites during that whole swanky girls in cocktail dresses swingers revival deal.  That was a fun time.  Seems like a lot of that kind of fun has gone out of the hipster ethos.  I return to Andrew Bird for relief from the current malaise. 

 

I didn’t realize they were associated with TSNZ until recently. I have one of their lps.

Turn It Up!

BTW, the ADD/POWR plug-ins ain’t no snake oil.

Checked w/ my Alpha Labs line EMI meter. Down over 200 Mv. with these plugged in. This is a significant sonic upgrade.

Unlike the High Fidelity MC.o2 plug-ins, these work well with the PPT stuff.

I see two more in my future.

Mathus/Bird "These 13"

"Well Made Music" in the dead wax

I like this thread. But whenever something is on my turntable tonight I am in there listening to it. By the time I get done it's time to go to bed. By the time I can post it's no longer tonight. Last night was, uh let me think, oh yeah Super Hot Sting Ten Summoners Tales.

Last time I played "Ten Summoner’s Tales" (EU), I was very impressed.

@millercarbon,

I just wish you didn't find it within you to use this thread to deneigrate a former poster.

BTW, the Mathus/Bird lp is awesome!!

and highly recommended!!

Don’t know how many of these I will actually get through, but have never played them all through as a set in order. Got this set really cheap, and the vinyl is in really great shape. And I’m kinda in the mood, so.... I have many of these singly or in other sets.

Herbert Von Karajan - Great Symphonies. Deutsche Grammophon 6 LP box set. All with the Berlin Philharmonic. Not sure when this set was released, but would guess in the late 70’s. Italian pressings. 

Included are :

Beethoven Symphony #3 & “Coriolan” Overture

Schubert Symphony #8 ‘Unfinished’

Mendelssohn Symphony #4 ‘Italian’

Brahms Symphony #1

Tchaikovsky Symphony #6 & Marche Slave

Sibelius Symphony #5 & Tapiola

Prokofiev Symphony #5

Busy day working and listening, so here's the soundtrack thus far:

Richard and Linda Thompson -- "Hokey Pokey"

Timbuk 3 -- "Eden Alley"

Marshall Crenshaw -- "Field Day"

R.E.M. -- "Reckoning"

Bud Powell -- Mosaic box set (Blue Note Recordings)

Charlie Haden, Jan Garbarek, Egberto Gismonti -- "Magico"

like anyone needs backhand denigration of listening and posting habits.

Valerie Carter - Just a Stone’s Throw Away

chock a block full of talent, RIP

NM- copy Her other fantastic LP - Wild Child for sale now on AGon, $10 and shipping, no affiliation w seller, just FYI

BK did the Trumpet sound ?

@tomic601 

BK did the Trumpet sound ?

It will sound tomorrow.....itchy fingers wants to go pound on the Lakewood Post Office doors and demand freedom, trumpets ablazing

i will look to the East tomorrow 

With the first shift of the tide 
Thy trumpet will herald on morning
Light high and bright 
The notes of mountain springs and 
Sounds of sun on quaking leaves 

Hopefully the postman rings the bell...

I was thinking something about Valerie Carter’s eyes...

@waltersalas i think I’ve +1’d you before about Magico - I love that record for more reasons than three. Have I asked you if you have Gismonti’s “Sanfona”. If not you definitely should check it out.  I think it’s one of the best records I have.  Fans of Pat Metheny love it.  

Ordered “these 13” on the streamer now for second time through.

I see two more in my future. Report this

do you have these plugged in to your outlets or into an empty/extra plug on your Hydra, or both?

Also, wondering what would happen with one of these on the same outlet or power strip with a Schumann Resonance Generator.   Might be interesting, or maybe not.   

Too many posts in a row, sorry guys.  

streaming Magico, perfect contemplative accompaniment......

James,

They're plugged in the same outlet as my Hydras.

My Schumman's are plugged into my Hydras.

Dang, this Karajan set is kicking some booty. 

Low - The Great Destroyer

@slaw  - Thanks, I'll check it out. You know I love Jimbo Mathus.

@tomic601 re Low. Guess you found your low end...  fun record.  A system workout, as they say.  

James - yes full of tricks, studio wizardry and some bits of overdrive and grunge. I spent some time level matching between LP and Digital and virtue strengths in both - toss up, some cuts better one format, but close and both enjoyable.

Crosby / Nash - Wind on the Water ( OP from the hundred LP haul, refreshed w second enzyme clean..... sounding mighty fine )

@bkeske,  Brian, I recently bought a Karajan conducted Beethoven Violin Concerto with Christian Ferras.   It’s big and full like a symphony. Different in that way and I like it.   The discogs seller had it listed as NM and it is very shiny but it’s got a big visible spindle gouge across it with an annoying audible click.  So, will have to find another copy. Anyway, thought you might be interested in the music if not my scratches story.

I’ve seen that album, but never heard it. Thanks for the heads up.

Just finished that box set, complete. Quite nice. Odd 6LP box set pressed in Italy, but there is even a larger box set of the ‘same’, but contains even more in a 12 LP box I believe. Karajan brings a lot of, ummm....’energy’ to his conducting, and it was well on display in all the symphonies in that set. I was in the mood for it, and enjoyed every one of them. All sounded excellent in regards to the engineering/mastering as well. The imaging and soundstage draws you into them all. At times I think Karajan goes a bit overboard and lacks the subtlety of other conductors....but hey, as I say, must have been in the mood for it today.

That was a nice afternoon and evening of listening.
