Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5105 Registered: Feb-05 | I was given a whole bunch of records a couple of weeks ago (mostly classical) and so I have been cleaning and listening to them to determine if they are keepers. There are so many that I simply can't list them all but once this process levels off I'll post some favorites. Good thing is that I'm breaking in the P5 and getting in some great listening |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 573 Registered: May-06 | What nobody listening to anything? Geesh Black Sabbath - "Live At Last" (Had to swap the Gallos back in as I was not going to risk damage to Jan's Rogers. Vinyl Ears hurt all night after hat one. Followed later by Tom Rush - Wrong End of The Rainbow Vinyl I would strongly suggest if you ever heard his music to get re-acquainted with him. Mellow is a good description. How's that for a late sixties word? Tonight; I actually found another Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (original un-censored cover) clean vinyl. Sounded even better the second time around. B.B. King - Live At The Regal I have heard him live in a small club about 15 years ago and this brought back memories of that day. He really engages the music. The mics aren't set up the best but it cannot take away from the reality of his performance and interaction with the audience. Vinyl Hey stryvn, when you going to do that Reference Music Thread?????????????????????? |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 578 Registered: May-06 | So much for my opinion. Marsh came upstairs about the time that the previous refernced LP was on its last song and basically said "Enough of that sh it turn it off, its awful." My wife has become a critic. Geesh. Followed by; Rolling Stones - Sucking in the Seventies Vinyl Now one for Nuck, since he made me buy it; an out of print, VGH, Apple label, Bad Finger - No Dice Vinyl On the second track now and has my attention. This is not how I remember Bad Finger. Anybody else heard this and can offer an opinion? stryvn, Reference Music thread????? |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8074 Registered: Dec-04 | Mike, I had that on 8track, I kid you not. I hope it is better than on the player in the 69 nova 427. Naaaaaaaaaa. |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 581 Registered: May-06 | Yes it has to be better as it is top shelf on my system, matter of fact add it to the growing list. However... 69 Nova with a 427 shoe horned in needs to be on the CD Upgrade Opinions Appreciated thread. Mike B. awaits that review. |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 584 Registered: May-06 | Roy Orbison - Crying CD Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo (cranked it way up for Strangle Hold, that was a thrill and then some) Vinyl Roy Orbison - Black and White Night It states on the liner notes, yes it is that good that I had to pull the notes, that this is the only commercially available live recording of his. There is a nice mix of players on this. CD Sem, I hear that the new McCartney - Memory Almost Full is to be made available in vinyl. How good is the recording quality? |
|
Silver Member Username: SemNew York USA Post Number: 688 Registered: Mar-04 | MW, sorry, I can't really answer that - MLR, (more listening required). I've actually only listened to it the one time, a couple days ago in my wife's car. She, and the cd, are now in California so it won't see my player here at home until September. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 585 Registered: May-06 | Thx Sem, I heard a couple of tracks at Starbucks. Just was wondering because if in addition to enjoying the content, if the recording was done correctly I would skip the CD and order the vinyl. |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 587 Registered: May-06 | Ok, I have been following the thread: The Agony of Roksan Caspian for a bit now. So here goes, Tchaikovsky 1812 Festival Overture Op.49 (Original Scoring) Capriccio Italien, Op. 45 Antal Dorati conducting the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra University of Minnesota Brass Band Gerald Prescott Director BRONZE CANNON, Strasbourg, France (1761) Courtesy of U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y. Bells of the Harkness Memorial Tower, Yale University, New Haven, CT. Spoken Commentary by Deems Taylor They refire just the cannon again after the track finishes and Deems Taylor narates this and describes the recording of the cannon and the bells. The microphone of 150 yards down from the cannon, then 50 yeards down from the cannon, then a 2nd microphone was placed 75 feet behind the cannon. This created phase distortion. So finally they used only the first microphone with a full charge. This was the shot that was recorded several times over for use in this recording. The bells are 7 tons. They go on to describe how the bells were recorded and engineered in order to match the old Russian Kremlin Bells. All I know is that I would never want to be in a bell tower at the wrong time. If you are really into the cannon shots, this albums narration provides them to you by themselves time and time again. This is a mono recording so the only thing having trouble coping with the complexity were my ears. It states that the recording and engineering took place in 1951 - 1952. The back of the album cover provides an encyclopedia like description of the history of the 1812 Overture as well as how these recordings were made. BTW the bottom of the 4 yellow lights on the MA-6200 do work, even if only once for a split second as I was playing this album with volume control in hand (just in case). |

Silver Member Username: SemNew York USA Post Number: 689 Registered: Mar-04 | MW, re: McCartney's "Memory Almost Full" cd. I went over to Steve Hoffman's site where they discuss ad nauseam the mastering pros and cons of, seemingly, every recording ever made. There's a whole gang of McCartney/Beatles fanatics over there. General consensus is the sound on the cd is horrible. Maybe the vinyl release will be an improvement. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=116454&highlight=Memory+full |

Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1447 Registered: Nov-05 | I Picked up MCartney's MAF in a store on the weekend. I'm glad I left it there now. Thanx Sem. Got Puccini - Nessun dorma and other favourites for a bit of cultcha. And the Doors 'Absolute Best' a double remastered cd album - to balance the excess cultcha. Liked the Puccini disc - loved the Doors. Playing at the Apollo, of course, where the audience knows how to keep very quiet. Unlike those vinyl venues where they tread on popcorn and rustle cellophane when others are trying to listen. (grin) |

Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2015 Registered: May-05 | I just picked up a few new CDs. The one I listened to - Foo Fighters - Skin & Bones I'm not a big Foo Fighters fan. I think their music can be a little cheesy and childish. This one's a live unplugged CD. Having heard a live acoustic version of one of their songs in the past, I picked up a copy on a whim. I'm very surprised and impressed. Dave Grohl has a great voice when he tones it down a bit. The lyrics on a lot of the songs are pretty deep. A lot of emotion. I think a lot of what he's saying gets burried on the regular versions. It seems very grown up. Excellent versions of My Hero, Times Like these, and Everlong. The studio versions aren't my favorite songs, but I won't turn them off if they come on the radio. These versions grab your attention. Sound quality and production (or lack thereof) are very good too. |

On vinyl I see William Ackerman - Passage, though not much on Windham Hill. For quiet night music I have a lot of ECM music. Today I took MR and Gavin's advice and got Sophie Milman's deput. Very nice. I play a lot of female vocal Jazz for my wife. Another good one with a great band like Sophie is Tierney Sutton. I have 3 of hers. |

Bronze Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 99 Registered: Jul-07 | For rockin my favorites are the last 3 Santana albums and the 1st two. Dr. John, esp Azamuth Zone, funky! Of course at my age I still think Hendrix is King, but Stevie Ray really rocks. For rock light, Mark Knoffler from Dire Straits to the new ones like Shangrala. The new country rock duet with Emy Lou is great. Will have to get the DVD too. And any rockin blues. I have an 8 cd box set of classic soul/R&B that I play when the family drinks. |

Carried only 8 milk crates of LPs into the apt, leaving the rest (I don't know, 20 crates?) in the garage 1 mile away!. My wife is working her way thru the classic Pop, now playing Abbey Road. When she works or sleeps I play jazz. As for the classical, I find myself often leaving it on after Jazz w/Bob Parlucha fm show. I don't know what is on but do enjoy whatever they play. For some reason prefer small group to orchestra (same in jazz). |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 600 Registered: May-06 | Beatles - Abbey Road Vinyl Brand new sealed, potential reference material, definitely top shelf status. Styx - Grand Illusion Vinyl Above earlier in the week. However right now I am listening to Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band "Like A Rock" Title Track. On the Rogers is feels like I am getting a private concert. OMG. Oh yeah, one more tweak I put in last night. I had spoken with Mark Walker at Rogue Audio, yes he answers the phone. I asked about the mapping the Rogue Audio Magnum 99 with 1.5v output to the big dog I am waiting for via UPS. It has 1.4 and 2.5 input selector. He said try both, go what works better. So much for science, LOL. But more importantly my Rogue has a 5 point gain switch which I asked him about. He said it is for fine tuning. All the way down allows for minimal volume up and down controls, like fine tuning, all the way up, just the opposite. But I figured out all the way up takes the gain control out of the equation. Maybe it's my imagination but all the way up on the gain control gives me the sense of more realism in my sound. Opinions please? |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 602 Registered: May-06 | Tuner past 30 minutes. 5 LED lights and still getting a little hiss on Sugar Mountain, Neil Young.

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 603 Registered: May-06 | OK maybe an airplane or UFO was in the line of sight, but Honky Tonk Woman, Rolling Stones , is imaging very nicely without hiss. No I never turn my tuner off in case anyone thought to go there. Actually this is a lot of left and right and virtually no center. I guess I need to dig out my Stones LP, Get Yer Ya Yas Out and validate this. |

As I type I have Rush - Hemispheres spinning on the Linn, pegging 30 watts on my MAC, loud as I can take it. Picked up on this one when you ID'd it as one you put on for Nuck. This is may certainly be reference stuff as you noted. I also thoroughly enjoyed Led Zepplelin's - Whole Lotta Love on the Linn after reading Frank's and a couple of other reference posts. In addition I have already played the Outlaws, vinyl tonight. Much, much, more to come... I have been absent from the forum as I have been too busy dialing in my amp to even keep up on posts. It's definitely dialed in!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus I have to do an Art, my week in review, LOL. WOW, Rush - Hemispheres is spiking my meters to ~100 watts. Never saw that before!

I had to go to CDuniverse for the new Bobby Hutcherson. I saw him this year on tour. He is about 65 and playing beautifully. Any other favorite sources for buying cds and vinyl? Art, that looks like my guys. Love that stuff. I was surprised going through my old stuff how much Pablo Rec I have. Oscar, Joe Pass, Milt Jackson, Monty Alexander, Big Joe, Zoot Simms w/Jimmy Rawles, etc. Now look what you guys have done: gone and introduced me to even more. |

I have Pink Floyd "Relics" spinning on the TT at the moment, ++++++++++++++++++++++++ One heck of a jazzy, horns and all cut, "Bidding My Time" next to last before the renowned track "Bike". BMT is IMO the best track on the LP. |

Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 141 Registered: Jul-07 | I am jealous of that Saturn! Don't tell me about the Linn TT. I am ok for now with my P3 which is good enough for my kit. I just dug up: This is Ray Brown, a Japanese vinyl pressing Verve OJC (original jazz classic) mono 1981 Polygram. He has Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis and Jerome Richardson on Flute. The point is that on Rays long upper range bass solos I feel he is right in front of my. My sub is back in the hospital so that is the Rega P3 and Rogers L5/35A. Those little speakers don't have the deep bass but I swear you cannot tell it is real on the upper range. I saw The last Ray Brown Trio on his last tour a couple of years ago. He went home from that tour and passed away. He had Russel Malone on guitar and Monte Alexander on piano (on of my top 5 favorite pianists). One of the best concerts ever for me. So I guess if it sounds good at home I am home free. OK well I still need some deep bass. |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5201 Registered: Feb-05 | That's wonderful that you saw Ray. He was an unbelievable bassist. I too am a huge Monty Alexander fan. He and Kenny Barron are underratted in my opinion. A couple of years ago I saw Michael Brecker with Herbie, Roy Hargrove and the Directions in Music fellas and couldn't believe it when Michael passed he was so full of life. I see alot of live Jazz...ain't life grand. BTW your P3 is fine quit ogling his Linn...It's a tweakers table anyway...lol! Presently listening to Peggy Lee "Is that all there is". |

Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 143 Registered: Jul-07 | I have some older Monty on Pablo vinyl. Speaking of rating jazz players, it is time to vote in the 55th annual Down Beat readers poll. Will I vote for who I think has the most skill on the instrument?...no for who I enjoy the most. I will vote the heart not the intellect. The fun part is to see how it compares to the critics poll which is in the new Aug issue. Piano poll most votes for: 1 Jarrett, 2- Meldau, 3- Hank Jones, 4- Andrew Hill, 5- Kenny Barron, 6-Bill Charlap, 7- Herbie, 8-McCoy etc. I have seen only 4 of those. So Kenny is in there. I have seen him a couple times. Latest in Portland, OR when he was on tour with Regina Carter. For those not having heard him, I recommend to start with CANTA BRAZIL 2002, accompanied by bass, drum, perc, acoustic guitar, and flute. Not laid back as you may think. It is very up, hot, in straight ahead jazz/bossa nova. Definitely on my greats list. The one great pianist inexplicably missing from the critics top 11 is Mulgrew Miller. I saw him in Seattle in Steve Turre's tribute to Roland Kirk w/ James Carter- Sax, Buster Williams- bass + more. I was completely blown away by Miller! And Brecker: Don't have the new/last one. Have his quiet dreamy cd: Nearness of You (guest sung by James Taylor, only on the 1 song). Looking for night music, it is hard to match that band: w/Metheney, Herbie, Haden, DeJonette!!!!! |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8283 Registered: Dec-04 | Some ELO on the boombox in the garage today. Played 'A Night At the Opera' at 6, some J Geils after that. A little Barenakedladies, and some Hip lined up. New Orleans is sinkin'. Unfortunate wording, awesome tune for guitar lovers. Mellencamp's 'uh huh' was a SRO last night. That album has bust yer chops rhythm lines and smokin' sound. Out Stones'es the Stones. Listen to that lead guitar! |
