What are we listening to right now..

[amirm]

Currently listening to my favourite track of all time. Again.
Even better than Jewel's 'Absence of Fear', better than 'Floyd, even beats Fiona Apple.
It's not the vocals, the lyrics, the tune or the music, it's ALL of them together.
Buy the CD, turn it up. Turn it up more, this never gets harsh or too loud.
Enjoy:

I am a fan but had not heard this most excellent track. So thanks for posting it.

Have a listen to Anna Madsen too, had a trial finding a live video.
It appears that some companies/artists are very keen on stamping down on all and any free publicity in case someone listens to one of their tracks, so ironically I'm posting a youtube of the whole album someone put up as someone's been round deleting the individual track.

Despite the secrecy it's worth listening to and ordering the CD . Sort of a Susanne Sundfor meets Lenka.

Miles Davis - Live Evil (1971)

Live-Evil is an album of both live and studio recordings by American jazz musician Miles Davis. Parts of the album featured music from Davis' concert at the Cellar Door in 1970, which producer Teo Macero subsequently edited and pieced together in the studio. They were performed as lengthy, dense jams in the jazz-rock style, while the studio recordings were renditions of Hermeto Pascoal compositions.[3] The album was originally released on November 17, 1971.

You probably know that The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 6-disc boxed-set contains lots more of this material but for some reason excludes the Conrad Roberts contribution.

I have been listening to Cannonball Adderly - Somethin' Else. This is often described as a de-facto Miles Davis album. I can hear why.

 

[RayDunzl]

I'm interested in Live-Evil primarily for the contributions and influences by Hermeto Pascoal...

Discovered this new Australian artist, Emma Louise, as the soundtrack to a perfume advertisement!

Pink Floyd - Meddle MFSL UDCD 518
Oh how I pine for the days of this release. LOL
A very good sounding master from MoFi,
Makes an interesting soundfield with Dolby PL II 5.2 here. I actually prefer the Cinema dematrixing on this, instruments are more focused around the room?

Even Joni doesn't save it. Bad everything.

I really like this CD but ....

........... my copy is plagued with distortion on sax and background(Sweet Bird track is a good example). At first I thought I had a dry-joint or poor connection in my gear- however it is the same on my desktop system. I saw similar comment on Discogs re LPs.

Are there any 'clean' releases?

Been listening to the XFnity MC (Music Choice) Blues station for a couple days now.
Thought I was pretty well versed in the Blues genre and it's artists but about every 10 minutes I hear some great tune from a artist I'm not familiar with.
Lots of great stuff going back the the 1930s and 40s. I'm don't know what kind of processing they use but even the oldest of recording don't sound bad, I'm actually amazed on how good everything comes across. Not SOTA mind you, but nothing with that burning edge that'll drive you from the room either.
I'm not sure where Comcast gets these streams, I'm sure they're not propriatary, maybe some of you folks know. Maybe the same thing that's on Serious or some-such. If you have access give it a listen.

Ed Palermo Big Band - Ping Pong (1987)

 

[Frank Dernie]

A 1945 recording of Pablo Casals playing Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
I am listening on my "vintage" system (not old components but old technology) of a valve amp into horn loudspeakers (but CD player).
Which seems appropriate for the historic sound quality.

Snapped up Level 42's A Physical Presence CD 2nd hand the other day

Listing to 'Hot Water' (DR 20.2, no clips, no detectable compression)
..now just switched to 'Kansas City Milkman' (DR 19.9, no clips, no detectable compression) which is the track I bought the album for - always my favourite on the LP.

Highly recommended, 100% Loudness War free and some absolutely first class bass playing

(Mine is not the remastered version BTW - that's a stock photo - the mastering is already perfect and can only be made worse). Avoid anything with 'Remastered' written on it.
