| Which Boney James I just want to hear the song Meat Beat Manifesto sampled for Radio Babylon. I've never heard the source for this classic track. What Boney James song is that? | |
| Which Davies' Kind of Blue CD sounds better? Get a $50 sacd player and the sacd version. | |

| Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage http://www.allmusic.com/ is your friend. | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment I'd be willing to bet that KRK studio monitors were in Juno and not B&W's. They are WAY more prevalent than B&W's in studios and they have bright yellow drivers. | |
| I have a book recommendation for you all. I'm going to grab a copy of this if I see it used since I'm pretty much a classical novice. Most of the classical I enjoy or own is on the non-traditional side...Reich, Riley, Stockhausen, Part, Glass, Xenakis, Satie, Kronos, etc. so I'll see if I... | |
| Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage Do you not even like Headhunters or Thrust. I can appreciate Maiden Voyage and records like these. It really is great if you give it a chance. Also one of the few SACD's I have that make good/inventive use of the surround format. | |
| Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage Empyrean Isles is the one if you like Maiden Voyage although I like his "weired" stuff too. | |
| .wav to .flac conversion using MAC OS X I agree with restock. iTunes & Lossless is the way to go. Do a batch conversion and just move the newly created files onto that backup disc. | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? Another thing is that Adventures Beyond...should only be purchased as a 2cd set as well. There was an edited down/condensed 1cd version that kind of ruined the experience. | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I'm sure you'll love it. UFOrb is my very favorite as it has a ufo theme to it. If anyone buys it be sure to get the 2disc version that has a 40 minute version of the song Blue Room on the 2nd sic. | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? I was just fixing to talk about the Orb. I mean they are legends in the electronic music world who have been making this kind of stuff for 20 years. The soundstage on UFOrb is just downright scary. Jah Wobble on bass, Steve Hillage on guitars...ev... | |
| Hooverphonic anyone? Peace Orchestra-s/t album is a great listen and is one of the few "electronic" albums constantly name-checked in TAS and Stereophile to demo equipment with. | |
| Recommend some SACD's? Some of my faves are:Steely Dan-GauchoHerbie Hancock-HeadhuntersGetz/GilbertoDave Brubeck-Take 5Pink Flyd-DSOTM(but you simply MUST hear it in surround) | |
| Tube lovers....CAT POWER.. Go see her live.. You Cat Power fans should check out a great new artist...Thao With The Get Down Stay Down. Throw Chan Marshall's voice, Sufjan Stevens' instrumentation, a little Neko Case & a little Feist in a blender and you have a great record. I hung out w... |
