Highly recommended!!

Today was both audio and video day.
Played the Eagles: Farwell tour - Live in Melbourne
I used the HD-DVD version, with absoultely clean 1080 video and a high-bit rate DTS surround track. The audio was pristine and was rocking the house today.
Very well engineered for a live show.
We had a dinner party on Saturday night and watched the DVD version of this. Our guests were blown away (they were sitting in the swee spot'.) Along with 'Hell Freezes Over' it's quite a showpiece of sight and sound; like you said, very well engineered. Can't even imagine how much better it could be in true HD.

Tim, I agree with your comments. I liked this album also, but do not expect Dusty! Also, I picked this up in vinyl at Waterloo Records, in Austin, a couple of weeks ago. It feels like it is a 180 gram pressing and the sound quality is excellent! I haven't heard the CD version.

I agree with you Risabet - damn this Daylight Savings time. Been running around doing "Chores" most of the morning.
I did have a few minutes to listen to the Haydn "Paris Symphonies No's 3 & 4" with Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields on a "waffer thin" Phillips pressing this morning while I enjoyed a cup-o-joe. Right now I've got the Esoteric fired up playing the Herbie Hanc0ck "River" disc mentioned above while I get a bit of work done.

Didn't know anyone would like this kind of trumpet playing. This guy is one of my favs, can be aggressive and in yo face. I don't have this recording, but will look for it now. He can play like anyone he wants, a virtual "chameleon" in the brass world. Another guy like that is a part time Chicago guy Jon Faddis. I played with some guys last night that work with the Chicago Jazz Orchestra of which he leads. They claim on any given evening he can sound like Maynard, Doc, Dizzy, Freddie, Chet, Arturo, or any number of other greats. But what he does best is lay down the lead.
I love this thread to be able to find new and great music.

Love the Fad Man. Have you ever checked-out "The Gauntlet" Soundtrack (Clint Eastwood) Bunch of Faddis stuff there.
And BTW I just recently rediscovered a marvelous Sunday AM Disc. Wondering if their are any "Pink Martini" fans out there. Title- Hang On Little Tomato from 2004. Fantastic stuff, and they have a new recording out I found on their web-site. Will be ordering that one soon. Very eclectic mix of voices, tunes and instruments. :music: Was about to say "sounds great on the Logans" but then again doesn't everything.

Pink Martini fan here. That is their second disk, and I really enjoy it. Their first disk has an amazing track that starts with classical piano, then segues into an instumental which is then joined by a Spanish male singer. It then goes back and forth. Superbly done ! The song is called "La Soledad". I have not yet heard their latest, "Hey Eugene". They are appearing here live later this month; gotta get tickets.

You should hear James Morrison play the digital trumpet - I don't know of any recordings unfortunately!
Yes, I've found a lot of great music from this thread!

Heard him play it on his web-site, your right pretty incredible. He plays the second generation model now. I work for a guy in town (Sorry Chicago) that is pretty good at getting around on the 1st gen.

I'll have a look at the webiste now. I heard him at The Basement - a Sydney jazz club - went from pulsating the entire club to the limits of my hearing in less than a second - amazing.
Unfortunately the last time I saw him at the Opera House he did not play it - it's not really the venue though!

I was just reading a review of the Gutter Twins release over the weekend in either the Absolute Sound or Hi Fi+ (can't recal which), and was intrigued. Tell us more about it if you don't mind.
As for me it was a very busy Sunday and I nver got a chance to post, but I was able to listen to the St. Saens Sym. No. 3 interpreted by Munch and the BSO on a Classic 45 reissue, followed by Kate Bush "The Hounds of Love" on an EMI pressing.

Tim, this is one of those records of which I need more than one listen, in order to come to terms. In general, this album has a dense layered sound to it. Think Seattle grunge, but not quite. Mellow rhythms, but not boring. Sort of an ominous, dark mood with elements of heavy metal (not the screaming and yelling, thank goodness), but much more sophisticated. They use an interesting (as in holds your interest) mix of dual guitars, drums, cello, bass, organ, congas, harmonium and mellotron. I noticed a few references to the devil, god, etc., but not as in worshipping either. Anyway, I will listen to it again, soon and may then have something more to add. It is an interesting album, which, in vinyl is two, heavyweight lps.

I'm not familiar with her work, or this particular piece "A feather on the breath of God". Could you enlighten? The title sounds intriguing.

Futzing around with a new camera and have a lot to learn here, but in the meantime I was listening to a Classic 45 reissue of the Living Stereo release "Finlandia - Music of Grieg and Sibelius" with the London Proms Symphony led by Mackerras. Followed that up with another listen to Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" (I'm on a Kate kick lately), and then listened to "Belafonte Sings the Blues", yet another Classic reissue.
