I believe my humble system was TRANSFORMED! Blacker blacks, and I could hear deeper into the mix. Big Grin

Lol.

The usual upgrade stuff here too - octave more tuneful bass, more open midrange, sweeter top end, more detail... and the blackness was INKY.

Being honest, I could've done without this lot being in the room though:

Dreadful cover, but wonderful music.

On vinyl - for the first time since upgrading to 202 & 200 from a 5i - awesome. Cool

Bugge rules.
Yes.

When I feel like to be sad, put this one on and get extra-depressed.

Richard Hawley: Lady's Bridge

A big slab of sentimentality last night whilst my wife was in hospital. I got about 45 secs into the first track before feeling too emotional to continue.

It has been a rather difficult few weeks in the Woodhouse household and listening to this just put the tin lid on it.

I may not be able to listen to it again for a bit, at least on my own, and his new one is sitting on the table in its wrapper for when she comes home.

Music can really hit the spot sometimes.

Lyric to the opener, Valentine

Hold me in your arms
may they keep me
sing me a lullaby cos i'm sleepy
i'm scared you don't need me anymore

bring me to the light of the morning
and take me through this night till the dawning
oh i see a warning in your eyes

and i don't need no valentines no no
don't need no roses
cos they just take me back in time no no
now you're not here

hold me tight tonight sleep will tend me
save me from lonely hours there's so many
and i won't get any sleep tonight

and i don't need no valentines no no
don't need no roses
cos they just take me back in time no no
now you're not here anymore
not anymore

and i don't need no valentines no no
don't need no roses
cos they just take me back in time no no
to when you loved me only
and i won't drink no aged wine no no

now you're not here anymore
not anymore
not anymore
not anymore


I'm playing something a lot more cheerful tonight I can tell you!

Glad to see a few Bugge fans round here (except BigH). Thanks for the video. Nice.

Never heard (nor do I ever hope to hear) a more telling version of Estampes.
