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

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost 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.

 

Anyway, links:

Sounds fab to me. I don't have an original to compare to. Super quiet pressing and flat as a pancake vinyl. As it says on the back, I am playing it loud.

Must get a copy, thanks.

Not yet Stu. To be honest I am very unlikely to play hi-res. On my unitiqute I only use what is in iTunes direct from my iMac.. On the main rig CD or LP. 

 

I have yet to be convinced on streaming - I find it very clunky. I'll let the market mature before I get on board.

Sigur Ros - Valtari. Enjoyed it a lot last night on first listen in vinyl. This time on CD - more suited to CD IMHO, an album that should flow and better without the snap, crackle and pop of the pressing I had which I have exchanged today.

Jamie,

  I have it and love it,

My seven year old son also loves it.

He plays it a lot in his mums car.

I pre-ordered it after hearing her talking on the radio months ago.

She sounds like a nice person, and is so very lucky to be walking again after jumping through that hedge.

I would like to see her live.

Stu.
