It's out??

How is it?

I've been waiting for his sophomore album.

Released on Tuesday, only listened to it twice. couple of tracks have caught my ear right off the bat, but not like his first release where I liked the entire album the first time I listened to it.

The best reissue MoFi has released in the last few years IMO. an amazing record!

Robert,
In total agreement with you. The original recording was very good, but this MoFi reissue is amazing. No background noise what so ever, background is pitch black, the bass amazingly deep and clear. The soundstage very deep and wide. Listened to it twice back to back first time I played it.

Thanks for the input, Wayne!

I don't know if this is the best way to produce, but this CD sounds superb.

Yeah, that's the best way and the proof is in the listening. BTW, the Tigerlilly mentioned above is from an analog master also, at least the vinyl reissue..

Peter Frampton ~ Fingerprints

I wish MOFI would not have gotten rid of the lift lock jewel cases. I’m not a fan of the LP CD cases they are difficult to use and not durable. Better for the environment I’m sure but I do not like them.

Ok, so not morning anymore, but I just picked up the mail at noon, and got this special edition DVD-A from the UK;

No-Man (featuring Steven Wilson, of Porcupine Tree fame) - together we're stranger

Excellent audio (as usual from a Steve Wilson 5.1 mix) and very ethereal sounds. Not the usual 'pop' stuff here, this is for lights-out auditioning. Lyrics a little on the downer side, but stunningly done in conjunction with appropriate music. Will excersise the ML's nicely.

Also, while there, order the new Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet in DVD-A while you're at it. It's coming out next week.

Agreed, last 2 titles I got from them are the LP type cases. Very difficult to get the CD out of the sleeve and almost equally as difficult to put back in.

Also, while there, order the new Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet in DVD-A while you're at it. It's coming out next week.

Ordered my DVD-A copy of Blank Planet a couple of weeks ago. If the quality is anything like the other 2 titles I have of theirs on DVD-A should be something worth picking up. Really dig the track "Anesthetize" off of Blank Planet

It's a mellow Sunday morning :music:

David Lanz ~ Cristofori's Dream

 

[MiTT]

Kind of mellow morning for me too Wayne. Started off with the Classic Reissue of Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale, followed by the MoFi 45 re-issue of Patricia Barber's "Nightclub", then a couple of sides of Allison Krause + Union Station "Live", and now a switch to SACD and the rather amazing Allison Moorer's "Show". She's Shelby Lynn's sister, and in my mind she has a better voice. Great live Country fusion album.

 

[lugano]

Allan Taylor - Hotels & Dreamers (stockfisch records) - A Mark Knopfler in disguise...

Ben Webster with Strings - Music for Loving (Verve)

 

[theWB]

Nellie McKay ~ Obligatory Villagers

 

[theWB]

Bill Frisell ~ Good Dog, Happy Man

 

[Cherian]

Some Stan Getz as we cheer on the Chicago Marathon runners. Two classic CDs

 

[Joey_V]

Just before I gotta hit the books..

Norah Jones - Not Too Late

Elf OST

 

[risabet]

Cremona Chamber Ensemble: Vivaldi. A nice D-T-D on Sonic Arts and Elton John: Madman Across the Water Uni English Pressing

 

[Bernard]

The two Marta Gomez Chesky CDs as well as the two I got from CD Baby. I love Marta'a voice !

 

[tonyc]

The Pipettes-We are the pipettes. Think retro GoGos or maybe the Lennon sisters on acid. I kinda like this!

Most of what I have seen on this thread is true Sunday relaxation music and I have picked up a few good recordings based on it but if you want to step out of the box a bit, you should give a test listen to Epica. Divine Conspiracy is the latest release but they have about four strong CDs in circulation. Not big here but they do have a strong following in Europe. They are Dutch group that has a strong mix of progressive, goth, orchestra, etc. and quite unique. Comparisons to Amy Lee do not do this band or their lead justice. If you can ignore the over use of the demonic voice parts this has a lot going for it and it will excercise all aspects of your logans. Try Never Enough which is probably the most commerical song on the CD but they are all worth a spin.:rocker:

......... you should give a test listen to Epica........

Are they somewhat like Era ?
