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.

leo Kotke S/T Nice way to warm up the system. Tears For Fears 'The Seeds Of Love' Recently got this very well done reissue. Had to play it again. Very entertaining, great music. Very 80s sounding type of recording SQ, but quite enjoyable. Roger Waters 'Amused To Death' Musically, this is a very good album, but probably not up to par with some of Waters greatest attributes. However, the recording method by using Q-Sound technology is rather astonishing. While not an album for listening to tonal accuracy of string instruments or human vocal accuracy, this one certainly brings the level of entertainment to an extraordinary level. It's quite amazing and very enjoyable. And AP/QRP puts out an exceptional quality piece of vinyl. |
i don’t have a pressing of Metals, my rip of the CD has some slam and impact in the bass - maybe it’s missing on the vinyl master ? Lots of energy below 60….wish Agon was more modern..like we could post pictures…ha Croaker makes good trophy Redfish bait…….good on ya, priceless memories w grandkids i hope…. |
I use live bait that are about the size of croaker... But really, if those were caught with the grandkids then they are "trophies" in their own rite. Very nice! Steve, 'The Seeds Of Love" reissue is exceptionally quiet vinyl. As I said, it has the 80s recording SQ (a bit tilted up on the upper mids and highs) but far from obnoxious. Bass lines are superb (especially with the two MyMats and now my corner bass traps). The overall production from the studio mix has great depth of staging and imaging. It's a really good album, both musically and production wise. Highly recommended. |
Just got my Marantz 1152dc and Pro-ject turntable tuned up and now laying down some Blue Note: Johnny Griffen/John Coltrane/Hank Mobley - Blowin Session, Bill Black Combo - Rock N Roll Forever, and then an Australian Prog ’N Roll band called Southern Empire - Civilisation and then Yes - Fly From Here/Return Trip. It’s a very Trippy Sunday evening for me. |
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. |
@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. |
