Arthur Lee R.I.P.
Forever Changes consistantly appears in lists of the greatest albums made.Sad news about Arthur Lee. 
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
It's a load of crap as has been stated many times by everyone connected with the record.Don't waste your time,read a book or something. 
"Audiogon" Music Reviews at last
Zaikesman well that was the idea but the reality is Audiogon is what it is.................mostly about gear.We wanted to develop what music we reviewed (indeed some of it was very much Audiophile based)and get a balance between what Audiophiles m... 
"Audiogon" Music Reviews at last
Monotonous I'm afraid Lugs is in limbo at the moment for various reasons.It didn't develop the way I'd have liked and a change of job and a new baby has meant I no longer have the time to commit to the project.It may resurface but it would be in a... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
I wasn't dismissing Zeppelin indeed Zep are arguably my favourite band I've been listening to them since I was 14.Oh and the only country they didn't release singles in was the UK.They are massively influential but not as universally influential a... 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Blblues68 Zep were a big influence (but not in the universal way The Beatles were)indeed they are a massive influence on two of the bands on your hate list!Tee hee that really made me laugh...... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Mayne it's just me but I find it incredible that someone enters into a debate and refuses to clarify their stance and dismisses other opinions without some evidence to back it up.I take it Pableson your silence means you've gave up on this debate? 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Whilst we await a reply from Pabelson on the crux of his stance-should be very interesting.I stumbled upon a very very detailed analysis of some of the Dylan set.For those who don't want to read the whole thing despite what Pableson says the autho... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Pableson you have nearly stumbled upon the fundamental truth you believe.All remasters are remixed.By your definitions there cannot be remastering without remixing.Which in my opinion is terminology problem because remixing is seen as something di... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Pabelson with all due respect you still keep playing with semantics.You are the guy who said there is no such thing as a Master tape yet the industry experts constantly refer to them.I think your credibility is sunk after that.Ludwig's quote about... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
I think the key comment on remastering series comes from this quote.However, we had a commitment to go back wherever possible to the original ‘finished mix’ tapes, which we have and which we did. Reading the interview thay had problems with JWH an... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
It seems Pabelson you've been remixing your own arguments so much your master tapes have been erased hence the silence.:-)I'll finish off this debate with some quotes including Bob Ludwig-please note how that question is asked.You'd be surprised t... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Just a point on the use of the term masters?That seems to me be a massive point of your stance completely blown away.Another quote from Springsteen that totally puts his Ludwig quote in context (that's the quote where he thanks him for the masteri... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
As usual you ignore the parts of my post you can't really answer but anyway............Each piece(vocal,guitar track etc.) that makes up any record has an original performance on it.Most recorded performances have assembled these pieces very caref... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Clearly making a disc multi-channel involves remixing I didn't think I had to qualify that.You are still playing with words and to be frank it's silly-the common terminology is to refer to the original tapes that produced the released version of a...
