Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
Thank You for the follow up. I am a 2-Channel only Audiophile as well. I will add this Edition to my collection. Incredible, how the dynamics and sound quality vary between the versions?
Focus, “Moving Waves” Vinyl. What a blast from the past! The Doors, “The Doors” DCC CD The Cars, “Heartbeat City” MFSL SACD Pink Floyd, “DSOTM” Analog Productions SACD. This is the one to get. I have over 20 different versions of this recording and this latest remixed record is by far, the absolute best sound. On all the other recordings of “Money” there is a part that sounds etched and distorted on every other recording, but not on this one! Just pure perfection. At the end of “On The Run”, just before the chimes of the clocks from “Time”, you can now hear very distinctly the persons footsteps as he runs from one speaker to the other. It now sounds he ran across the room and it is no longer hard to hear in the mix. There are many other examples of this on the recording and all is brought out to true life.
Even if you have as many versions of this record as I have, you really need to get this one, it is that good! The sound is supposed to be even better in the 5.1 mis which is also on the SACD but I only do 2 channel stereo so I can’t comment on it.
I decided this Holiday weekend would be all Pink Floyd, including the albums I haven’t listened to in at least 10 years or so. Over the 3 day weekend, I have listened to the following in no particular order. I actually started this last Tuesday, a full 7 days of Floyd and solo records:
