J.N. - I agree with you about Michael Rother - For some reason I hadn't picked up on his work in between Neu and the solo albums. I always liked Katzenmusik as a nice Sunday moning type of record.

Decomposed Subsonic - Different View

Chick Corea - the Leprechaun (remaster)



It was remastered???
Posted on: 13 November 2003 by John M
re: the leprechaun -

sorry - my mistake I think - not remastered - reissued. Huge difference I know, especially since that album was so incredibly well done the first time. It is one of my new reference points when I listen to CDPs or systems. Thanks for pointing that out. I just bought others of his that were remastered (Now He Sobs, etc.) and I got a little confused....
