What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013

With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

Grooving on Lipatti's soothing Bach. Rather nice especially after being hit over the head by Landowska repeatedly.

 

MDS,

 

RE: Archtic Moneky

Did you get it in vinyl?

 

Thinking getting one for myself but haven't pulled the trigger.

No Kuma. My system's source is CD. As the AM's CD cost only £6.99 (and I've got xmas vouchers to burn) I thought it was an inexpensive risk to take. I think the vinyl is nearer £20.

Anjani -Blue Alert

 

Beautiful music, one of my finds this year and one probably for the female vocals thread. Highly recommended.

Prompted by Sorren's earlier post. I haven't listened to this in a while and I'm now reminded how good an album it is.

Thought I'd revisit another long-neglected Genesis CD

Remaster: One of the very few bought this year. Luckly, at least mine,  was a good pressing.

Don,

 

That's so cool that JV listened to Carly. ( such a girly choice )

 

 

 

 

 


Yes, JV had some unusual ideas (for his time !) and tastes in music. He persuded me to buy an LP12 as well as the 12/160 and this record was one of several that helped demonstrate why the source was so important. His LP12/Rega Arm/Ortofon v my Pioneer PL12D (or possibly Rega Planar 2)/ShureM75 IIRC. His won !

Hi MDS. I'm doing the same at the moment, listening to albums I haven't played for a while and remembering all over again why I liked them in the first place. You can't beat a bit of Genesis

Hi Tony. A great album, I do prefer the later stuff though.

Realy getting into this...again. Couldron rocking my socks off.

 

just a question, is the female lead singer English? I only ask because these guys are from San Fransisco but she certainly sings with an English accent???????????? Or has th Port got the better of me?

 

Jadon.

Fancied a listen to 'Hurry On Sundown' just to tie in with the last album.

MDS,

 

I think US non limited edition pressing is a lot less. 17USD. But you are right. it's double the cost of MP3 files.

 Don,

 

I bet it's all through the Briks/250? 

 

On second thought on Carly LP:

I have been told, more than one occasion, if you want to get laid, play Carol King or Carly Simon.

An easy pick after a week with no music.

Steely Dan. Aja. First pressing from 1977. Splendid sound.
