My second listen to this….
Daniil Trifonov - Bach: The Art Of Life. Deutsche Grammophon 2021 3LP gatefold.
|
Hey Brian,
Never understood why Deutsche Grammophon chose to put their advertisement over so much real estate on their lp jackets???
|
@slaw
Ha! Never really thought about that Steve, but you are kinda correct, the ‘big badge’ title block is rather large, but they have been doing it for years.
|
Jack White "Fear of the Dawn"
2022/Third Man Records
Can already tell the Sonics on this lp aren't the best. What a shame, great music though
|
Elvis Costello / Secret, Profane, & Sugarcane
Bought this right after it was released from a record store in Ashville NC. They had a little display set up to promote it. Glad I bought it. Great album (alt-country IMO)
|
|
I would guess about 7 years ago (or so). I was passing through the area on a business trip & stopped by several smaller record shops. Had a great time.
|
|
The Jack White album, on first listen is my top pick so far this year. It's brilliant! Only one thing ...the SQ is 7 to 7.5. The music more than makes up for it. I think Jack needs to get Dan Auerbach to produce his next record
|
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express - original pressing
|
|
Good to see you here 6t5!
|
Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs "External Combustion"
|
My feeling as well.........
|
Thanks, @boxer12 @slaw .
Long week, I am going to try to stay long enough for a few records.
|
|
Hey Tim,
I remember buying that lp because of it being reviewed highly in Stereophile, most likely, years ago. I don't remember the sonics on my copy being memorable last time I heard it, but that was years ago.
|
My copy is also from that timeframe. The sonics are good but not stellar. The music however is wonderful from start to finish. I believe @reubent is the one that prompted me to get this out again.

That is too bad Steve. That ‘Acoustic Collection’ I just received SQ is really pretty darn good, but yes, a compilation. I really enjoy that one.
|
Widespread Panic / Wood (Box set)
|
Yeah Tim, the music was inventive for that period in time
|
Betty LaVette "1972 Muscle Shoals Sessions"
2018/Atco/ROG
One nice sounding album!!!
|
Beck - Morning Phase - just about as good as it gets
|
@boxer12 @slaw - Yep, I'm a big fan of Robbie Robertson's self titled album. I don't have any issue with the sonics of my copy, but I'm not as particular as some.
His other solo albums are pretty good too, but not as good as the Daniel Lanois produced first album.
Oh, and I'm pretty much a fan of anything that Daniel Lanois has touched.
|
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Like Bad News
|
Lone Justice - S/T
1985 Geffen Records
|
Merle Haggard/Willie Nelson - Poncho and Lefty
1982 Epic Records
|
Reubent - Thank you for that reminder. Great album
6t5 - +1 for "Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Like Bad News". One of my favorite indie bands.
|
Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About
|
|
Gov't Mule- Banks of the Deep End
|
Oscar Peterson & Nelson Riddle - Verve original pressing
|
This week I went Mingus Madness, played 'em all
|
Anybody hear the vinyl of the other new Jack White, Entering Heaven Alive? Enjoyed it immensely via Qobuz, wondering about the SQ. Some great acoustic guitar there...great potential
|
@slaw Absolutely agree that Joshua Judges Ruth is a 9.5-10 musically, but I'm not convinced the vinyl sounds better than CD on a decent digital rig. When I play Church for visitors, it will be the digital version.
|
|
Joe Pass - For Django - Tone Poet - beautiful - Tone Poets are some, if not the best value in records
|

Bravo Spencer! 👍🏼
|
I will be listening to Entering Heaven Alive today Spencer.
|
|
Grand Funk Railroad - Caught in the Act. This is an excellent live album, it rocks and is well recorded.
|
Jack White "Entering Heaven Alive"
2022/Third Man
|
|
Jack is such an interesting artist. IMO, "EHA" is more dynamic and open than "FOTD". These are impressions from just one listen. They are both great albums from a content perspective. I'd give "EHA" a solid 9.
|
Little Feat "Waiting for Columbus"
2022/Warner Bros/current remaster
|
@slaw thanks for the review!
|
|
|
What Mingus album would any of you suggest for a beginner?
