Graeme,

 

You've just selected my next album for me. Just realised though that my FLAC rip appears in Kinsky as 'Eric Clapton and JJ Cale' - now I do like EC, but this is heresy!

Portugal.The Man "In The Mountain In The Cloud"

Posted on: 08 August 2014 by AntonD

It always sounded a shade 'edgy' to me but the Hugo seems to resolve it better, sounding less compressed and more opened out. 

 

As such it is a more enjoyable listen now.

Nice! Great band Jeff despite the somewhat curious name. Saw them last weekend streaming from lollapalooza and they were quite good live. Enjoy it!

24/48 1st listen. Again, very good.

Hi Tony

 

I have enjoyed what I have heard of their catalog, they are local media favorites.  So much good stuff to listen to out there, soon I will have more time.

 

good listening
