Any ECM fans here?

I've always loved the sound Manfred Eicher gets in the studio.  It's great to hear so many new musical ideas.  Whether you call it jazz, or whatever...it's always interesting music to me.  My first ECM album was "Facing You" by Keith Jarrett.  I wore the grooves out on it. What do you think about ECM?

Years ago, a lot of studios used to use Ampex 456 2 inch tape for the original recording process.  That was the standard for many years.

They would feed that into big Scully tape machines that would move the tape very fast.

The mix would go down to 1/2 inch masters.

In 1976-77 I went to Record Hunter on 42 and Fifth Avenue NYC twice and bought a total of 50 ECM LPs at $5.99 each. Excellent SQ and fine contemporary jazz! That was for my first high-end system!

@roberjerman those were the days...I lived near the east village and used to love going to the used record stores down there.  I found some real gems.

Killer places in Manhattan then,46,49 st.off Bway .As a young man I loved going through thousands of albums from every where in the world...Didn't really learn till later that the Brill Building on Bway was probably the reason so many record and music places were near buy.
