2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.

Last one before sleeping, nice start of my holiday...

Bert, naamgenoot,
I just downloaded Naim app v5, and noted that all my album cover art is now displayed in low resolution (blurred/lowres), while the original Folder.jpg is high res. Your screenshots look like high resolution, the picture is pretty sharp. Do you use App 4.8/4.9 or v5?
The app is version 5 now and I assume it also was when I did the above one as functionality changed since a couple of days. The cover art is as I got it from Qobuz, so no changes there...

I had this album in the earliest 80's and set it up manually as the music behind my spoken message on the home answering machine. Chicks dug it, at the time.
Still have it on CD and direct to disc.
My new obscurity is the following:
Langston Hughes spoken poetry in front of a great jazz band. Really great. Mingus arrangements. This is one of the very first CD's I ever bought. I had heard it on the radio and when it came out on CD, I bought a CD player. No kidding. Great arrangements and some hot players including Mingus, Horace Parlan, Red Allen, Jimmy Knepper, and others. And Langston freakin Hughes reading his Greatest Hits! About as high brow as we get at my house.
My son got home from Q1 of his junior year having completed a course in Harlem Renaissance and it was fun to pull it out. Holds up well. Check it out. Chicks dig it.

It's indeed special and varied, will however take some sessions to fully get into it...
Now gong to the led music again, but very alive...
