What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Prince - 1999
Graham - comparing with The Hits/The B Sides (9362-45440-2). "1999" is clearly better than the version on Hits. Indeed it might just be my ears but The Hits seems to be at a slower tempo. Most odd! My "1999" is WEA 7599-23720-2 not remastered.

Prince - Purple Rain
Here we go again - same results really. When Doves Cry is compressed on The Hits, much more space on "Purple Rain". In fact I no loner wonder why I always pull the albums out rather that teh Greatest Hits. On I go.....
Prince - Around The World In A Day
Oh dear!
Prince - For You
Again miles better than The Hits. Even so this album does not have the best production - no slam on the drums etc.
The Hebrides, overture for orchestra in B minor ("Fingal's Cave"), Op. 26 (4 versions)
Composed by Felix Mendelssohn
Performed by London Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Claudio Abbado
Prince - Prince
Same result!
Prince - Dirty Mind
Again less "muddy" than The Hits
My daily dose of miles.
Prince - Sign'O'The Times
The first one that sounds roughly the same. The original album is a little more "musical", it is also a lot quieter than The Hits, turn the volume up and you get a lot more "thump"!
Some very nice covers on this album.
1. Have You Ever Been To Electric Ladyland
2. Slow Breath, Silent Mind
3. Isobel
4. The Maestro
5. Santiago
6. Fables of Faubus
7. The Spark That Bled
8. Don't Let It Bring You Down
9. In Your Own Sweet Way
10. Davey's Purple Powerline
11. Halliburton Breakdown
12. Wonderful
13. Happiness Is A Warm Gun

You've got a massive Price collection there. Thanks for checking it out.
I've also got Hits 2 so I ought to see if that's similar production to Hits 1.
No wonder I only listen to this in the car....
Prince - Lovesexy
Fantastic
The Hits does not do it for this album - a one track wonder!
Prince - Graffiti Bridge
A little brighter than The Hits and certainly more rhythmical. Prince's voice has more depth and then there is the "slam".
Prince - Diamonds & Pearls
Much more depth than The Hits, the original shakes the house The Hits does not even get the trousers flapping!
Prince - ??
Same result, more of everything really.
Listening to The Hits I can hear what Graham means. Certainly car only CD
You certainly do not see enough Prince on the forum

You Wild Thing
Just in .. Re-Foc by Rodrigo Y Gabriela these two Mexicanos can certainly play some high octane acoustic guitar. I'd love to see them live.
The very excellent...................
