I was quite enjoying this and then some friggin' rapper came on Frown :-




This seems more melodic than some MD I have heard, was he mellowing out towards the end? Any others in the same vein? Preferably without (c)rappers.

They are bloody awful trousers though.

Have you tried 'Sketches of Spain', about as mellow as it gets.

I played this last night on 180G vinyl. What a great album and the most enjoyable listen of the year. I am really enjoying my Oldfield at the moment.

I have been playing this all afternoon with a fellow forum member stopping by to help out (thank you). We played CD through the 555, Vinyl on the LP12 and 24/96 on the nDac using Squeezebox Touch (is this the best value piece of hi-fi kit going? superb) and from USB.

Absolutely brilliant performances, a very convincing argument for playing this music on pianoforte and gut strings.

Offically I am on holiday but between watching the kids and finishing my US tax return late - it just doesn't feel like it.

I meant this kind of holiday

Are those MOFI's tax deductible - I am sure they must be...

On 2nd hand vinyl from Classic LPs. Sounds good after a quick clean in the 'anti stat'.
