My fav also
Thanks for reminding me about this disc.
I'm surprised that more people haven't posted the Sheffield Labs stuff. The recordings are great and I love most of the artist involved.

Today was discovery mode for me, as I listened to three albums that I had never heard before. Actually, I'm doing that quite a lot lately. First up was Shearwater, "Palo Santo". Very beautiful music and was an "album of the year" from some list. The artwork on the album is also beautiful.
Next up was a 45rpm limited edition of "Big Blue Ball". While I'm generally not a fan of the so called "World Music", I really liked this album. It is an interesting mix of techniques and styles from many different performers.
Last was Calexico's, "Carried to Dust". I had heard the song, "Two Silver Trees" on the radio and thought it was very unique and beautiful, sort of like a Japanese hit from the '70's. The album was very good and kept my interest with each new song exploring different styles with various instruments.
All of the albums had good quality sound and very good musicianship. A great morning's listening!

I've been pulling stuff off of the new LP rack all morning - Yeah, I know there's a playoff game going on, but my guys aren't in it, so I'm taking some time with the house to myself to listen to some good tunes.
Just finishing up with this batch. From 1960, the Dave Bailey Sextet - "One Foot in the Gutter", great soulful jazz. Then it was time for a Pink Floyd album I just don't listen to very much and I don't know why because it sounded great - their last studio album, the aptly named "The Final Cut". In another thread somewhere Justin and I were taking about the Pixies, so I had to pull out my original 4AD pressing of "Surfer Rosa" - the one with the topless sinorita on the cover. Man what a great album!

Just noticed this - yup Grace Jones, Sly and Robbie have still "got it". Going to see her this month. Really looking forward to it.
Glad you liked it. If they allow cameras I'll post a few pics/words.
First day to just listen to music in a couple of weeks... (we had 2 sets of grandparents for Christmas and New Years)
We put on some standards to listen to enjoy the new amp/pre amp combo...
I think I have purchased Fleetwood Mac Rumors in 5 diffferent formats... this DVD-A is FANTASTIC :music:
Goucho is another outstanding listen...

Bob is correct, this is a great set.
Is it available in the NTSC format now?
I picked this up months ago, but the DVDs were only available in the PAL format and I'm forced to watch on my computor, would really like to watch in the theater room.
The CD is outstanding and I still listen to this at least once a week.

CAP Great pick!! I got to see Knopfler live last summer. Great band Excellent musicianship.
For me it was some 1 a.m. early morning listening King Crimson The Court of the Crimson King. One of my best sounding cd's. Stunning on the Logans. D.R.

I've been working all day, so no vinyl - only CD's 
This Harmonia Mundi release of Handel's Organ Concertos Op.4 with Egarr conducting the Academy of Ancient Music is one of the best recorded and best sounding SACD's I've picked up recently.
I was at the Virgin Megastore in Denver yesterday and heard Ray La Montagne's "Gossip in the Grain" playing and had to pick it up. There are hints of Damian Rice, Nick Drake and Beck (a la "Sea Change") sprinkled through this fine CD and it's very well recorded and sounds great through the CLS's.
Speaking of great sound, I also found the new release from Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile is a stunner. Comprized of nothing more than Meyer's plucked and bowed bass and Thile's brilliant work on mandolin, I wondered if the pairing might get tedious over the course of an entire album, especially since there's no additional supporting cast and none of the fine vocals and harmonies that charcterized Thiles work with Nickle Creek. Not to worry, this is a compelling album somewhere between classical, bluegrass and jazz. Ignore the goofy song titles ("Ham and Cheese", "The Farmer and the Duck", "Slow Song for a Dog"), this is great music making.
Snow Patrol's latest release "A Hundred Million Suns" starts off a bit slow, wasn't sure I was going to like it especially. But, by the time I was in a few songs I found myself ceasing to work and engaged with the music. If you're a fan at all of their stuff you won't be disappointed.
