Its a vinyl kind of night.
Strange Little Birds .... Garbage.
Brand new 180GM double record set.
|
Fellow Brit here, although expat now.
Yes heard talk talk, any particular album you recommend? |
|
The Autumn effect.....10 Years |
Crises....Mike Oldfield..
I remember seeing him live in England.
Can't remember how many players on stage but quite an ensemble to be sure.
And Mike?
Just rocking out on electric guitar and nothing else.
And looking as happy as a pig in muck while ripping off some mean licks, a VERY understated and brilliant guitarist imho. |
@reubent
I think goodbye jumbo was only released on vinyl in Europe.
I have a copy I purchased from a dealer in Germany, he has 2 copies on eBay right now.
I have actually never heard the CD version but the vinyl is nicely done.
Very precise and well mastered.
I am happy with it but ymmv of course.
About $22 shipped from Germany right now. |
@reubent
You are most welcome!
Just had to give it a spin since it was talked about...lol.
I think I would say it is worth $25 for sure, I think you will be impressed with the vinyl sq of this album.
Mind I still used to prefer The Waterboys tbh. |
Fresh from Germany.
Breath of Life ... Magnum.
Original Steamhammer German pressing.
|
Excellent albums Nutty.
I always used Barracuda as a great test track with that opening bass.
I was definitely smitten by Ann,s vocals at the time....lol.
They went after the hits which admittedly made they tons of cash but those two albums are their high points imho. |
@reubent
Fisherman's blues...... The Waterboys.
In fact this contains a track called World Party, wonder if that is where he got idea for name for his next band? |
|
Tidal has been a godsend for me if go no other reason than when I see somebodies recommended music here or their current choice of play I can quickly go and have a listen without buying CD or vinyl.
For $20 a month it is worth it many times over just for that alone! |
Ghosthouse.
I am pretty much a sucker for most female vocal fronted rock bands though.
Think
Concrete Blonde, Hole, Garbage, Heart, Pretty Reckless, The Pretenders, The Euryhmics, Evanescense, Lacuna Coil etc etc.
And truckloads more.....
|
Mr Postman just delivered a mint copy of Radio Kaos on vinyl so its on the deck.
The Tidal version was good, this is Very good!
A very well engineered recording, 1987. |
@slaw
Good to hear. Got to get my US setup and get busy too, at some stage. All my vinyl just hand cleaned so far, its the thought of going through them all again....
Anyway just mellow listening tonight
Brothers in arms, Dire Straits on sacd.
Talking of J.S, I caught him on his g3 tour Tuesday night at Raleigh.
What a wall of guitar with him, Collen and Petrucci!

Even though I have this album on CD, 45rpm vinyl and 24/192 MQA how could I not buy it for $2 on tape.
August and Everything ... Counting Crows.
One of the seminal albums of the 90,s imho. |
One thing I find amusing is this thread has like 2700 posts or so but only 47,000 views.
Whereas the turntable thread has 10 million views but only 3300 posts.
Quite some disparity in post to view ratio!
Granted it has been around since 2004 but obviously a lot of viewers did not feel inclined to actually post. |

For about 3 years I owned a pair of Usher cp-6381 in gorgeous ivory with wood side panels. Stunning waf for sure but always felt they just did not gel harmoniously in my poor acoustic room.
Still a great bang for the buck speaker company and very underrated. |
Start the day of with
Out of time.... R.E.M |
@slaw
Because I cannot change the room, can't even help it much as the waf does not allow.
Things will be different in the next life, I mean house!
Present speakers play very nicely in my shite room so all is good for now. |
Always interesting to come here and see what peeps are playing.
