| Jazz for aficionados I expect everyone already knows about the recent death of Rudy Van Gelder at 91 years of age. Here is a link to the NY Times piece on him.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/26/arts/music/rudy-van-gelder-audio-engineer-who-helped-define-sound-of-jazz-... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A PS for O...For something that’s a bracing counter to Invisible Cinema, check out Alan Pasqua’s "The Antisocial Club". I only learned recently that AP had played in the 2nd version of Tony Williams' Lifetime. The Antisocial Club is a more challen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello Orpheus - Pleased you are giving Invisible Cinema a listen. Yes, I’ve heard Shadowfax but it’s been a while. Will have to go refresh my memory on them. I thought I heard shades of 80s Pat Metheny Group. Your "pleasant sounds" and "needs a l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Greetings aficionados. Hope everyone is surviving this warm summer. Appears to be a little break in the thread action here so I wanted to use it to call some attention to what is for me a wonderful recording. Thanks to my friend (and fellow A’gon ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hey Nutty - Not sure what hits collection you were playing. The 2 compilations that I like (they focus on pre-Fly Like an Eagle) are Steve Miller Band - Anthology and Steve Miller Band - The Best of 1968 - 1973. Good reminder on Wishbone Ash. I... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Huh..."universally praised tour" Shows you what I know. Still don't care for 'em (much). :-)http://ultimateclassicrock.com/axl-rose-guns-n-roses-model-citizen/ | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report jafant - as much as I appreciate your succinct contributions to this thread, I'd argue that 5:49 PM US-DST does not qualify as "night"!...as in "What's in your CDP TONIGHT?!"BTW - Seriously, is that GnR tour to be honored or lamented? Never was a... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Steve MillerHeard way too much of Fly Like an Eagle back when it first hit. The lab where I worked played a local AM station all day long. The several hits from that album and Book of Dreams got pounded to death. Never bought either as a result. ... | |
| Exotic vocal Hmmm. Czarivey - didn't mention Bjork 'cause I associated her with throat singing but that's an interesting connection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit_throat_singing | |

| CD ripping @geoffkait ...The Lost Chord...Thanks for the reminder. | |
| CD ripping Hi @cleeds - I associated the M4a extension with ALAC only. Didn’t realize, as Al points out, that M4A can also be for AAC. Hence ASSumed you were talking about ALAC. Still, a general statement that M4a is lossy/ compressed is not 100% accurate ... | |
| CD ripping I agree with andrei nz. Personally, when I compared WAV vs ALAC ripped files, I could hear no difference. Not sure about the correctness of cleeds comments w/respect to M4a from ALAC. ALAC compresses but is claimed to be lossless, as in "Apple... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report milpai - we share some similar points of view. Low cost and easy maintenance are factors that contribute to my enjoyment of records via the KAB mod’d. Technics table I have. It’s not a fussy set up. Plus I do get a certain satisfaction holding an ... |
