What is the latest music you downloaded, what resolution and from where?

Posted by: Stevee_S on 13 January 2014

With more music being downloaded I thought it might be interesting to see what forum members are buying and from where. 

 

The news that HD Tracks are soon to open an online UK store means that more choice is going to be available to us. The variety and quality of downloadable music we can choose from is expanding, MP3 to 24bit studio Masters at 192kHz and beyond.

 

So what are you buying and downloading?

I have just had a listen to that on Spotify, you might like Bill Evans, try 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans', 'Portrait in Jazz', 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' or 'Waltz for Debby'

I'd definitely second the last two, both recorded on the same day at the Village Vanguard. These have rightly become piano trio benchmark recordings. The audience noises seem to add to the enjoyment and the SQ is remarkable. There's now even a triple set available which captures everything recorded on that day too.

Thank you for the replies. I really liked the Bill Evans recording, but I'm looking for more rhythm and a faster tempo. I just found out Michael Petrucciani live album in Tokyo and I really liked it, particularly song like taking the A train. Do you know any other similar albums?

thank you for your help.

Have a go at Oscar Peterson (a lot of clips on youtube), Ahmad Jamal and Oliver Jones trios, Duke Ellington 'Money Jungle' then Kenny Barron, Keith Jarrett

"Madden has brought together an eclectic group of artists, both young and established, that represent the diversity, depth, and future of bass music as seen through the techni-global lens of Govinda. From his career’s inception, Govinda has been driven by the exploration of varied multi-sensory sounds and experiences, and hopes to represent that spectrum through a multifaceted collection of musicians he believes will continue blazing the path for the electronic music of tomorrow. Among the musicians offering their talents are Dirtwire, Filastine, Psymbionic, Zebbler Encanti Experience, Mindex, David Starfire, as well as a host of others, culminating in a 15 track pay-what-you-want release."

A group that split too early in my view, Marillion and Clutching At Straws.  Brilliant album. On original vinyl

Dajay - it's not often I come across a positive note on Marillion, so I'm compelled to write in agreement. Indeed, there is an insane guitar rift in The Web on Script for a Jester's Tear which I use to test any change in kit because I find it so emotionally charged. If I'm not moved, the change is suspect..
