| Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players Willand - apologies. I messed up. TEAC pricing that I've seen makes it $2000 less than the Marantz. TEAC pricing for the CD-3000 is around $2K (not $3K as I mistakenly remembered). The Marantz is right at $4K. Sorry for the confusion. That refurbe... | |
| The best of the ECM label My 2 cents...Check out Ralph Towner & Jan Garbarek on ECM - reasonably accessible. Playing off CTo007's suggestion, look at the other musicians they recorded with (e.g., Eberhard Weber) and try their stuff too. Usually, with ECM you get intere... | |
| How do you organize your LPs? My collection is much smaller so alphabetical by last name of composer or artist works for me. If a group, I organize alphabetically by first letter of first word in name (ignoring, "The"). Had I a collection as large as yours, would sort first by... | |
| Goldfrapp Seventh Tree---LP Vinyl Choraun - For what it's worth, Amazon has 7th Tree on CD for $13.99. Used 2008 vinyl for $240. 00 | |
| guitar solos where less is more Peter Green at the end of Peter Gabriel's Sky Blue on UP. It might be only two or three notes repeated...but they're the right few notes with just the right amount of distortion. Lot of emotional weight in very little space. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Well, maybe not "most" but make that only "achingly beautiful" and check out Tim Finn's "Imaginary Kingdom"...several tracks qualify for me (Astounding Moon; Salt to the Sea; Winter Light). | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hey Don- They were a great band. After Duke is about where I parted company. Am on a Genesis jag the last few days. Listened to Three Sides Live earlier today (actually 4 sides live on the recording I own...but that's good because Paperlate and so... | |
| Looking for a new band? Hey Slaw - likin' SF59...just played "I Drive A Lot". It reminded me of stuff by Ivy...check out "Edge of the Ocean". You can her/them on YouTube. Same sweet pop vibe. Maybe they will be new to you. | |
| Looking for a new band? Slaw - Thanks for posting. I will check out SF59 later this evening. I like the description I read of Jason Martin's influences. Sorry no new band for you. The only thing I've got (and he ain't new, but new to me) is Solomon Burke. | |
| Bands where U say Wish Rory Gallagher would have been around a lot more years. Been watching "Irish Tour '74". Find myself wondering what happened to his band after his death. They were really tight and hard working. His keyboard player was crazy good in my opinion... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Genesis - Wind & Wuthering...hadn't listened to this in a long time. What beautiful music. Tony Banks' "Afterglow" - really something special. | |
| Pangea 9se, Cullen Crossover or VH Audio Flavor 4 Liz did a good job describing issues with short runs of 9 series Pangea cable...but I suspect you continue to intend the author Trollope and not trollop. Quite a different meaning. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok-not to worry. Thanks for the reply. We'll get it figured out. Hoping maybe Orpheus has an idea. Crazy times indeed. Creativity busting out all over. In the intervening years...money & lawyers have f'd up a lot of things | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry for the double post above. But, Rok2id, YES! a group like the Last Poets might have done what I heard but as best I can tell what I'm looking for was not by them. Please advise if otherwise Thank again. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus & Rok2id - hopefully not completely hijacking this thread but possibly taking it on a little off road excursion that will get it back to your intended course in short order....The recent exchange about "rap" reminded me of something I ... |
