Bruce at The Super Bowl....
I like both Springsteen and Dylan.They are related but different.Comparisons are difficult for a variety of reasons but to suggest Springsteen isn't fit to carry Dylan's guitar is wrong, badly wrong.Both have incredible strong suits and both have ... 
CDs: Not all created equal
The answer to this is not complicated but it is not something Audiophiles in general do,Read a decent Music magazine every month it will keep you abreast not only of what is new in music but what has been re-issued.Trying to do it through labels a... 
I Love Shirley Bassey
Nyctc with all due respect most of those awards just confirm what I said-she appeals to an older generation, most of her fans would be into Show Business.There's nothing wrong with that, music is just music, you either like it or don't.Indeed ther... 
I Love Shirley Bassey
Here in the UK she's basically seen as an old school singer in the Show Business style.Big powerful voice but never seen as an important artist although she played the Glastonbury Festival a couple of years ago.I can't see mee rushing to buy out a... 
RUSH Snakes and Arrows DVD Live
Snakes And Arrows musically I think is something of a return to form. I find Thsalmon's comments baffling-it is far superior to Vapor Trails and is arguably their best album for decades. 
If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like...
The Ayre stuff especially the newer stuff looks fantastic.

I'd also go Harold Budd but choose Luxa as a favouritealso interesting and worth checking outMax Richter The Blue NotebooksandCraig ArmstrongThe Space Between UsThere are so many.................. 
Dylan Bootleg Number 8
Fishers9 I think you'll find Michael Gray wrote Song And Dance Man-Professor Ricks book was Visions Of Sin. 
Dylan Bootleg Number 8
Garebear I love Oh Mercy personally I think a much better record than any of the recent trilogy.However don't you think the acoustic version of Most Of The Time on BS Vol 8 is amazing?If that's a yawn I'm going to fly over to America and break you... 
Dylan Bootleg Number 8
I've got the 3 CD set which is a rip off but as a big fan I had to have it.I think GareBear might have it wrong as his statement I bought it when it came out reads like he is talking about an older album,no? It's only been out two weeks.Anybody sa... 
Led Zeppelin japanese cds?
I bought a copy of In Through The Out Door.I'd really need to examine it more but my gut reaction is that it doesn't sound that different to the grey box set version of the same album.The Mothership versions just at a quick listen sounded better t... 
Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile"
If you are going to listen to that modern ska reggae style I would suggest a superior band are Vampire Weekend. 
U2 reissues
I listen to music not equipment.When you start to use stuff as demo discs with music you don't like then you are putting equipment before music.Each to their own. 
U2 reissues
I've only purchased the Joshua Tree and it is a vast improvement on CD.M People?I won't even go there......... 
Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile"
It's down to the artists at the end of the day.Springsteen and Metallica should be shot for their productions on their last albums. But I guess it is a small % who have the type of systems to show up how poor these records sound. They probably sou...
