What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Still got Steven Wilson stuck in my head.

Stupid Dream .. Porcupine Tree

Vault library
Tidal carries just about all the Trees output APART from Blank Planet! What's up with that!
So this is what this thread looks like ... Lol.

Good day to all.

Division .. 10 Years.

From my Vault library.
And from leftfield....

Mentioned in best debut album thread that I thought bat out of hell by Meatloaf really had to be near the top.

That led me to the next move.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Bluray. Going to crank up the volume tonight!
It's so bad it's just brilliant.
Brad and Janet, Dr.FrankNfurter, Meatloaf as Eddy.

Rock opera indeed!
Hmm, never thought of the comparo before.

What Tree album do you prefer G.?

I’m shooting for " Fear of a Blank Planet"

I have been,listening to a fair bit of solo Steven Wilson stuff of late too though.
Exactly what I do G.

I use Tidal as a giant testing bed and when I find something I really like I usually buy it on vinyl or CD.
Start the day off with some 🗑

Absolute Garbage that is on CD.

Love this album but hate the sq, it is well overcooked!
Still stuck on Steven Wilson!

Recordings .. Porcupine Tree.

In all honesty this is more a vehicle for Steven than the Tree as a band.
Definitely not MY cup of tea G.... Lol.
Sometimes I do think my musical tastes are too narrow but I know what I like.

Just watched a movie tonight as it was Redbox 16cent movie night ( yes I am that cheap!).
Really kicking soundtrack!

Kong: Skull Island.

Worth just listening to the soundtrack on Tidal or similar.
Tango in the Night ... Fleetwood Mac.

CD, a very nicely mastered recording IMHO.
@stevecham 

I think it is fair to say you do not need to place any cushions on the floor to soften the blow from falling off your chair...….

I have heard Steve Tibbets on Tidal but definitely not my cup of tea I am afraid.
Gary Oldman is a very underrated actor.
He has had some truly epic supporting roles where he stood out from the main "stars" imho.

Take his role in The Fifth Element. He made Willis look wooden although that is not too hard I admit.
@reubent 

Seems to depend on the phase of the moon whether it works for me.....
Hail Mary ...Dark New Day

Ripped CD to Aries Mini.

A very short lived supergroup mores the pity imho
Walk Between Worlds ... Simple Minds

Tidal MQA upsampled even further to 24/192.
Great Hughes album there G!

Famous Last Words ... Supertramp.

Not one of their better known works but really nicely produced and some good tracks.
The House of Hair internet radio station.

Some great tunes on here, lazy day!
Virgil is one heck of a skinman for sure but overall those albums are a little too metal for me... Lol
Older age and warts and all now.

👴👴👴
So this is what I am listening to tonight.

Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert live.

Tidal
Gawdbless

Now their are two blasts from my past indeed!

Remember seeing both of them live back in Blighty!

You can call the Quo the original three chord wonders but boy did they put on a rock n roll show live!
Going to continue in same vein with some more good ol Brit rock,n,roll.

Homewreckers and Heartbreakers .... The Quireboys.

One of the best live high energy rock,n,roll shows I ever saw was a double header of The Quireboys and The Dogs at The infamous Boat Club in Nottingham. One of the small clubs Led Zep got their start in!

A blast from start to end!
Try this for size...

In The Dynamite Jet Saloon ... Dogs D'Amour.

Be surprised if anybody heard of them never mind heard them ... Lol
Not in my cdp either... Do not even have one in my main system any more!

But some great tunes nonetheless.

Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol 1 on the real deal cassette as per the movie.
One fun part of listening to this is visualizing the part of the movie each song fits!

One of my daughter and myself fave movies along with the highly irreverent Deadpool!
Fancy that ! Cassettes still being made in 2018!
Love Rory G.
Another sad waste of talent taken too soon.
Glad I caught him live  at Rock City, Nottingham back many years ago!
Eclipse ... Journey.

And how this music is getting to my speakers is a journey for sure!.

Old Samsung bluray player I paid $20 free shipping about 7 years ago from eBay, feeding a Samsung smart tv via HDMI. It is output from the TV via Toslink to a $4500 DAC ( upsampled to 24/192)and onwards by XLR to my Ayre ax7e amp.

And yes it sounds good to my ears!
G.

No I have not seen that film but I will do now for sure.

For now....
Feral Roots ... Rival Sons.

Tidal

Quite like these guys.....
Tango in the Night .... Fleetwood Mac.

CD on a Sony Discman fed into my main rig. Don't knock these lil gems until you have tried one! Battery power, small chassis, sidesteps a lot of issues large mains power players suffer from.
Patience is not my middle name G. Lol.

I did find it at my LRS today but did not buy as it is on vhs, even I do not have one of those anymore!

I suppose I could use one of those services to transfer it to disc,not sure if it worth all that cost and trouble though.
