Argh, you made me spill my beer!
Too darn funny!
|
Finally got my vinyl copy of "everybody is doing it" by The Cranberries
Playing on maximum overdrive! |
Wow.....no comparison between this Analog Spark pressing and the Tidal streamed version, pity Analog Spark do not have a larger catalogue....yet |
Lazy Tidal day
Comalies....Lacuna Coil |
Had to make sure my CD player still works!
Hope&Sorrow.......Sevendust |
Now onto tape
Now and Zen......Robert Plant
Presence.......Led Zeppelin |
Had to give Radio Kaos a spin after the reminder here.
Excellent album and recording and Roger at his best |
Brickyard Road.....Johnny Van Zant
|
@nutty
Joe was next up on my playlist!
What happens next and then still one of my fave albums of his, Engines of Creation |
Close the night with Retrospective3....Rush.
Been listening to these guys since 74, remember wearing a copy of 2112 out in 76 in the student common room!
I know a lot of love for Glenn Hughes here but top of my mental list when I think bass players comes Geddy Lee, I mean he plays, sings and plays keyboard with his feet !
Alex lifeson also vastly underrated guitarist
Neil peart....what more needs be said about one of the very best drummers in the world |
|
|
Just arrived today.
Sleepwalking .... Magnum.
On cassette, a Sweden first pressing for Polydor.
To my knowledge the vinyl version was released on Music For Nations label.
Odd......
Even though it is not one of my fave albums of theirs I have to say the sq on this tape is sublime. |
Sacred Blood, Divine Lies ... Magnum.
180GM vinyl Steamhammer records.
Have to admit my Gold note ph10 phono does sound a lot better through the Ayre AX7E than it did through the Lyngdorf 2170.
More " analog" |
And now for today’s purchase.
An astronomical 99 cents......
And it is near flawless, not a scratch and no ticks or noise at all besides the noise that is supposed to be there!
The Dream of the Blue Turtles ... Sting.
Vinyl |
I am afraid I have to blame Ghosthouse for this next one!
Consequences part 1... Godley & Creme.
Not on Tidal or Deezer so had to go and buy the box set vinyl from eBay!
Different...... |
Onwards
Consequences part 2 ... Godley & Creme |
@ghosthouse
The copy is excellent, rather odd in places though.
So Consequences part 3 ... Godley & Creme
|
Odd in a good way but still odd...lol.
Although to hear all the wonderful British accents was heart warming and Mr. Hague accent sinking the more he drank was funny.
Yes a thoroughly enjoyable and compelling skit that I had to get to the end of. |
Into the valley of the mooning .... Magnum.
The most I have ever paid for vinyl.. Ouch!
But had to have it.....
|
Unleashed Memories...
Dark Adrenaline...........Lacuna Coil.
A not very well known Italian gothic metal band...sounds like they should be awful but the girl can sing like an angel! Their earlier stuff, 2002 to 2008 is their best imho |
|
@slaw
Quite a number have been waiting patiently for the equicore.....lol.
Just spoke to Mark and its being burned in and prepping for ship.
I am very hopeful it will match the hype.
Ok, so you can play mono on stereo cart and preamp but will just not be as accurate as a dedicated mono setup. That is good to know though.
Thank you |
More treasure bought today
Twin barrels burning ...... Wishbone Ash
|
Last of my new vinyl to spin, for now at least.
The Visitation .. Magnum.
Steamhammer limited 190gm yellow vinyl edition.
Pricey but superb sq. |
Our local FYE had a 50% off sale on some select new vinyl today and I could not resist.....
Dark Adrenaline......Lacuna Coil
Mer De Noms........ A Perfect Circle
Very nice mastering job on both albums and 180g to boot |
CSN......Crosby, Stills and Nash
The Tidal MQA master version.
Stellar, nearly as good as the vinyl pressing and much superior to CD version.
|
@slaw
The store had all 3 perfect circle lps but I balk at paying $35 per album!
So at half price I did not mind but they now only had mer de noms left.
Can’t wait for their new album as the recent teaser tracks are righteous!
Saw them live last year at Rockville. |
@ozzy
It just does that at times
No idea why... |
Time warp time...
Serpent....Styx
Magicians Birthday...Uriah Heep
Vinyl |
Evaluating a new SR Blue fuse in my system so what else but.....
Crime of the century.....Supertramp
Growing up the hard way.....Mamas Boys
|
@slaw
Simply amazing what level some of these tweaks can take our systems to.
Just back from our used vinyl shop and a little poorer!
The Wake......IQ |
|
@slaw
Love The Wallflowers, not quite so keen on their newer album, Glad its Over though.
Sort of an uptempo Counting Crows.
Had never heard of Glen Hansard but just had a listen via Tidal and I like what I hear. Thank you
|
@slaw
Ha, yes, well said.
Caravan to Midnight....Robin Trower. |
@slaw
Where in the UK are you?
I grew up in Nottingham but moved to the USA in 2000.
And now living the dream....so they tell me.....
|
@slaw
Too funny!
Sorry!
Well at least you figured I was FROM the UK......lol.
|
My Corepowertech equicore1800 is being shipped Monday which should take everything to an even higher level.
One of the first power regeneration plants that is actually capable of handling power amps.
Everything will get plugged in, read some of the reviews, I will chime in once I have got it and tested.
|
Can you play mono vinyl with a regular stereo cart?
Or do you swap carts/arms to play?
|
@arcam88.
One thing I have found with all my Wishbone Ash vinyl is that they are really well engineered and mastered. Excellent instrument separation and feeling of air and space.
I remember seeing them in England and it was pretty amusing. There was no build up or announcement, they just sort of shuffled on stage, played a phenomenal set and then shuffled off again.
Too funny. |
American dream .... Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Another purchase today, $4 and vinyl looks and sounds like it has never been played before...score! |
@czarivey
Lol, you might just be the only one.....
Only song I ever heard was Relax.
Starting my day off right
August &Everything..... Counting Crows |
Been a busy day,mostly just flipping cds in the car.
City of Evil..... Avenged Sevenfold
All that remains.... Alter Bridge.
Isolate and medicate... Seether |
|
Agreed that Satchs latest offering is quite a bit different from some previous releases.
Read an interview with him in guitar player about it, he had to do a few solos twice as he "over shredded" and that was not what they were looking for on this album.
Yes Glenn's bass work is killer, in fact an all round awesome rhythm section with Chad nailing it on the skins.
Highly recommended.
|
Walk between worlds.... Simple minds |
Seems my musical tastes do not reach far out of mainstream rock.....lol
Gretchen goes to Nebraska... Kings X |
Tuff enuff... The Fabulous Thunderbirds
The power of rock and roll.....Frank Marino |
No interest in Superbowl...lol
Man on the rocks...Mike Oldfield |
Finish the night off with a classic.
The Tidal MQA version of Tommy... The Who. |
Thanks guys, tbirds always good for a boogey!
Starting today with...
Acoustic live......Nils Lofgren.
Absolutely superb recording |
Nothing wrong with Tom at all, in fact I have that CD too.
I remember actually seeing him play live at the MGM in Vegas....quite an act and he could really sing live. |
Garbage version 2.0 .. Garbage.
Bulgarian cassette release! |
The Eleventh Hour .... Magnum
Original UK Jet Records pressing. |
