| Ozric Tentacles Anyone? I agree that Strangeitude is great. If you like that one then Arborescence is very similar so you should like that one as well. But yeah...it's kinda more of the same. You might want to check out their technoish side project called Eat Static. I'm... | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 8 CD Player Sound I think the major problem is that it was supposed to be $1000 cheaper than what it eventually retailed for. All the prices I read about led me to believe that it would be less than $1500 when it came out. | |
| Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2? I saw them for $49 at Wal-Mart yesterday. | |
| Five indispensable D. Miles recordings. Pls. recom In A Silent Way is not at all like the "noisier" fusion stuff. It is VERY calm, relaxed and serene(hence the title). It just happens to use guitars and electric pianos so a lot of people just lump it in with his electric period. You should give it... | |

There is also a second version of this where remixers remix Laswell's remixes?! Get the original instead.On... | |
| zakk wylde the Randy Rhodes of today? The only reason I know it's him is because of the non-stop pinch harmonics that grate on my ears. I think he's vastly overrated. I can't believe you say that Randy RHOADS...it's RHOADS people, not Rhodes...was not a great guitarist. | |
| Supertramp remasters My copy of Breakfast is INSANELY quiet. I have to turn it up twice as loud as almost every other cd I own. | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Thao and the Get Down Stay Down on the Kill Rock Stars label. Cat Power meets Sufjan Stevens' instrumentation. Very catchy stuff. | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand This is all over the tv now in that new JCPenney commercial. | |
| Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage? Michael Stearns-The Lost World...immense. | |
| Computer speakers? I've heard nothing but great stuff about the audioengine stuff. Their A2 got a stellar review a few issues back in Stereophile. They're $199, built-in wi-fi & have some beefy amps. The matching sub is out of stock right now but you might not e... | |
| Computer speakers? James is talking about a $2000 solution for you by the way. I have the BM5's and I love 'em but they ain't cheap. | |
| moody soundtracks Solaris is another great one. Cliff Martinez did that one I think. | |
| moody soundtracks I forgot about Passion. Great album! There was a SACD available as well. How could I forget one of my other favorite artists Michael Stearns. The Chronos, Sacred Site & Baraka soundtracks are all great. What about Tangerine Dream's work on Ris... | |
