| Beatles vs. Stones Depends on my mood. Most often played on my system are The White Album, Abbey Road, Let It Be, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile. A much easier question to answer would be who I favor between Paul and John. I prefer John. Don't ask me to ... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @bdp24 Have you read R. Crowell's autobiography? | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time "It's always been a mentorship thing for me" ... before the advent of the internet, obviously... Now, it's easier than ever to explore unfamiliar musical territory. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? @bwang29 "Do I tell guests not to physically touch the speakers?" Frankly, I'm astonished that anyone would behave this way. Any non audiophile guests we have usually ignore the system altogether -- it's so foreign to them, they tend to comple... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @asctim "Either way it's a great album". Agreed! | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @bdp24 "While the "Country" music you hear on radio and see on TV may be of questionable quality, there is a very healthy, active underground "alternative" Country music scene, often referred to as Americana, that is producing music as good as h... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @asctim Everyone hears differently and listens on different systems... all you can do is listen and see how it strikes you. Each to his/her own. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @hartf36 "So one could say the original production is closer to what Dylan heard in his head, and so...........is what HE really wanted us to hear." Yes-- the operative word being wanted --- past tense. At the time, that's what he wanted... or... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @curiousjim " I just put the new Time Out Of Mind in the Que. Looking forward to hearing it" I hope you enjoy it ! | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 "... he needed them far more than they needed him". In terms of guitar playing, I'd readily agree but given the disparity of opinions regarding who wrote the songs, I don't know what to think. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @cd318 Yes-- I'd agree it's subjective. Consider the varied reactions to Giles Martin's Beatles remasters! @bdp24 Another one: what's that Blues lyric... "I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log than (fill in the blank) and be... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @cd318 "Sonic Muck" was the only phrase I could come up with to describe what I hear. This is an esthetic response, not an engineering/technical assessment. I wasn’t referring to the fidelity of the recording but to the "artistically murky" "s... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 Sonic "finger-painting", to my ears! BTW, the notes accompanying the 2 cd Fragments set quote Dylan regarding the contrast between Lanois' approach to producing and Dylan’s own. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @rpeluso I'd be very interested to hear what you like about the original mix, if you care to elaborate. How does Daniel Lanois' esthetic contribute to your enjoyment? With no other alternative, I appreciated what I was able to appreciate in the... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 Yeah, that’s one of my favorite tracks, too. This mix is so much better, it’s hard to imagine why Dylan approved the original. No doubt, he had his reasons at the time but we can all be thankful he changed his mind somewhere along the w... |
