what was the last cd you bought?
Posted by: AL4N on 13 March 2004
so to get things off and running
queen--the highlander sound track
Anyone else got this on CD? Notwithstanding my system which is up and down like a brides nighty, this has to be one of the most unlistenable cds I own, shame great music but it makes my brain hurt.
if someone is being touted as "the new Jimi Hendrix" i put his name directly on my personal "NoGo-List"....
Nothing particularly up with the musical content, although he certainly aint no JMH, its the general quality of the cd that's bugging me, bloody awful to my ears, unless of course it really is me/my system. That's what I was after finding out really.
I've got the hi-res download and I would describe the audio quality as patchy. Some of the tracks are terrible and a couple are good.
I suspect what has happened hear is that the tracks have been recorded in different sessions. Some a while back when GCJ was very much an emerging artist and with little money spent doing it properly, and some more recently when the label were willing to put some more money into it.
I've seen GCJ twice this year. Once at the Crossroads festival in New York when I thought he was pretty average, and then a month later supporting Clapton at the Albert Hall when I thought he was terrific. So maybe the band are patchy as well. I liked his Later ... set as well.
had it already now bought the new version..
And would you say it is worth getting the remaster if you have the original?
Thanks

Hi David,
I haven't done the comparison between the two yet, but it does have a very open sound picture - I think it's worthwile as such given the DVD already.
CSN (&Y) 4 CD Box set
The Band - Academy of Music, Live At The Academy Of Music 1971
Apocalytica & the MDR Symphony Orchestra - Live in Leipzig
Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania, Live in NYC
Sting - The Last Ship
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror
The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow
That's a very nice if somewhat eclectic mix Geof. Apart from Stink(sic), that is!

Well Sting was bought on the strength of a CBC-TV news interview, otherwise I tend to agree with you.

He's probably thinking if the Police should reform so he could fix those tiles. It's all good.

Was really wondering when there would be something new from Apocalyptica. Not a real Wagner fan but this should have a nice twist to it.
Cheers,

Rob, the only album I have by them is Inquisition Symphony, which I have not listened to for a while. But I rather listen to that on a loop for 10 days than anything by stink!.
Haydn & Boccherini: Cello Concertos:
Trying out Du Pre's work.
Ordered today the Yes Studio Albums 1969 - 1987. 12 Cds remastered (about 2002/3?) Looks like quite a bargain at £29.99 inc. free delivery from Sainsbury's Entertainment, almost £6 cheaper than Amazon.
Allan Taylor : All is One.
The newest CD on the famous Stockfisch label. See the Allan Taylor website.
Again high quality, a quiet atmosphere, 68 years old.
Allan Taylor together with the German singer songwriter Hannes Wader: a very pleasant live registration, partly in German, found on amazon de.
Topic in my opinon is the 30 seconds a capella singing in English and German at the same time (song 13: It's good to see you).
Israel Nash Gripka : Israel Nash' s Rain Plans (2013)
A very nice production, like neil Young in his earlier days.
This record s more impressive than his 2011 CD:
Barn Doors and Concrete Floors
Sarah Neufeld : Hero Brother (2013).
She is the violinist of Arcade Fire in Montreal and made improvisations on the violin.
Constellation Records writes: Neufeld's debut solo album Hero Brother is flowing through shifting atmospheres and oscillating between restrained, stately ambience, emotive études, and raw kinetic energy. Small touches of wordless vocalisation, harmonium and piano supplant the violin in a few places.
