New favorite VINYL Album?

I recently had a audiophile friend over for a listen.He brought his copy of Sphere's "Flight Path". It absolutely floored me. It had such a low sound floor. I really don't know much about these guys other than they were Tholonius Monk's band.These guys have chops! A really amazing performance on what may be the best sounding jazz album I have ever heard.

I just found a copy for myself at the local used record shop for $3.99!

Emorrisiv, an absolutely phenomenal album. Note the unintended irony of the
title, "Flight Path," and on the reverse, a photo of the artists
standing in front of New York's twin Trade Center towers. The album was
recorded (by Rudy Van Gelder) in the early 80s.

Dopogue you are dead on. Seeing the guys in front of the WTC with a album titled "Flight Path" is very ironic.
One could wax about the flight path of the country in regards to the greed of Wall Street,but of course the obvious 911 deads have nothing to do with that.(talk about irony)

I just listened to it again this morning on my small system (Snell E, junk Technics reciever,el cheapo Radio Shack turntable, Sony PS1 CD player)which is surprisingly revealing and was blown away. the bass player is a genius,and the Snells showed it very well.

On my big system,(Acoustat 2,Audio Alchemy DLC,Hafler 220,VPI HMW19/Benz Micro)it is absolutely magical. Maybe the quietest,detailed,nuanced,holographic record I have heard.

Can't wait to go back to work and upgrade to some tubes.
gidde up economy!

"A Bande A Part" by this group called "Nouvelle Vagues". I was at Rocky Mouuntain Audio Fest last year and this album was played in the Verity/Aretemis/Schroeder room. It was dynamite. Luckily I managed to find the album online but had to get it shipped from the UK (seems rare or unavailable here). It stands out as the best recording I have, and the music is one of the best too. I also got their self-titled album on CD, and again, it's one of my best if not best CD recordings.
