| KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments No, I am not kidding. There were several systems that they played the final mix on. The other speakers I believe from memory were ATC and Yamahas. The studio engineer gave it to me after the sessions were over.Post a fax number. I have the Kube ma... | |
| KEF 103/4 loudspeakers; any comments I have the 104s since 1987. A gift from Pink Floyd out of A & M Studios. They still sound wonderful, especially around commanding male and female vocals and mid-range instruments--very hard to match even by today's high standards. Think Jazz (... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? Grace by Jeff Buckley. | |
| The Police Live Hit and miss. The earlier songs sound great--the more layered songs from the later albums sound thin and laboured as a trio. Rate them 6-8 on a scale of ten. | |
| Van Morrison remasters coming soon.... The 1974 live set is fantastic in its remastered form. On heavy rotation at our house. | |
| "Big Sound" Reccos? War, Lowrider. Hommies love this at the shows. Midnight Oil, Earth & Sun & Moon, it rawks like a mother. Willie Nelson, Teatro, another Lanois-produced gem. | |
| Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to GhosthouseAmen on that thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuzzy and tinny are not bad things. My brothers and I had a Pioneer Centrix 8 track--lo fi at its best. | |

| Beatles covers: better than originals? Hey, how about the Rutles? | |
| Best Bob Marley CD The 30th version of Catch a Fire has the original sessions from Kingston on a two CD set. His sound was more organic and acoustic than on the final version, which was made more mainstream in the UK using additional studio musicians. | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings James Brown: Black and Proud | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Hands down, Radiohead. Second, Tom Waits. Third, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Concerning the former, don't know of a veteran group that peaked, i.e. put out three straight hit albums, so late in their career. | |
| Best jazz covers of rock songs Miles: Time after Time | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? Al Green: I wanna hold your hand |
