A little bit softer material now, again on vinyl.
Latest Kings of Leon on vinyl. Very good SQ.
LP - Decca/Argo © 1977 : )
side 1: Mass for five voices
side 2: Mass for four voices
Recordings from the Chapel of Merton college, Oxford (p) 1977
Morse music? : )
Very smooth, sweet, and relaxing.
From what i can hear with the five voices, of which all are male, a bass, a baritone, a tenor, and two soprano boys of which one packs up and goes home before side 2 is recorded.
Fantastically textured and group harmonic. Often sounding more than 4 or 5 people but I guess they are all playing their well practised part with perfect precision - there would be no room to hide a duff note singer within the Chapel acoustics : )

This is something that I do not have of William Byrd. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes out for it. Listening to textured and layered vocals of William Byrd's music late at night, lights turned down, and with a good glass of wine on a good system was what got me started on the road to high-end audio. Just had to have a system capable of transporting one into the Church/cathedral where the recording was made and to hear the vocal intracacies.
Etheral music.
William Byrd's music certainly beats the crap out of Monteverdi 
Well, still listening to sounds quite different from William Byrd (that will be for the last play tonight)
10th Anniversary re-issue on vinyl
Still more vinyl, the deck is getting a workout tonight.
Gave up trying to guess what that "thing" was. Not my Zep favourite album but as usual, in LZ's albums, Bonham's beats always outstanding as in Achilles Last Stand
I'm spinning the CD from the 1993 Complete Studio Recording Box Set. There was no working LP title when Hipgnosis shot the album photos and the jacket designer suggested calling it "Obelisk". So that's what everyone is staring at.
More new heavy-weight vinyl with very quiet surfaces and great SQ
George Harrison. All Things Must Pass. Remastered CDs from 2001. Truly, among rock music's greatest works with possibly the best cast of rock musicians ever assembled.
More 180gm vinyl
While putting some curtains up...
Be careful, Mr Lee was known to shred things. I wouldn't let him to close to the curtains.
THE best version available of this album. In your room stuff.
Discovered earlier yesterday, thanks to K.
www.Soundliaison.com a new small label focussed on top quality audiophile recordings.

Suitable early Sunday morning music! - CD
