December 12, 20187 yr 23 hours ago, HiWire said: Mark Knopfler – Shangri-La Love that album. Nobody can tell a small, sad story like (ie. 5:15 am) like he can.
December 12, 20187 yr I'm looking forward to picking up more Dire Straits SACDs as well (Making Movies and Love Over Gold), but they're a bit pricey. This one has been in my cart for a while – it was great to come home yesterday, grab it out of the mailbox and put it right on the stereo. My only problem with these single-layer SACDs is that I have to listen to them at home... with hybrid SACDs, I can easily rip them for listening on my iPod or computer at work. Not a big problem for this kind of album, which is better suited to a comfy chair. Edited December 12, 20187 yr by HiWire
December 13, 20187 yr Very well. He was an interesting man and made a lot more music than he is generally remembered for. Produced The Proclaimers debut, for example. Drank himself to death in the end.
December 14, 20187 yr Quite. I have a friend that thinks Baker Street is one of the GREATEST SONGS EVAR and I have to admit, it is perfect (I wouldn't change a thing about it), but I recently went back and revisited the entire album, and Right Down The Line is pretty perfect, too. I still think those are by far the strongest two tracks off the album. Me: I think Eutow might be my favourite track off the album.
December 14, 20187 yr This lovely and good sounding set by H.E.R. (there is a lot of talent there) Youtube link included - But for much better sound - click the NPR link... -- > https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675602944/h-e-r-tiny-desk-concert?jwsource=cl
December 14, 20187 yr I'm having one of those days. Sadly nostalgic Santana - Moonflower [1977] I discovered yesterday that one can listen to Tidal lossless streaming using Audirvana+. Surprisingly the sporadic cuts went away. I won't dare to defend that sound quality is better, probably it's the same as using Chrome, but I'm finding it more enticing. I have yet to test if this way it's able to play gapless.
December 15, 20187 yr I'm listening to single tracks by Raphael Ravenscroft. I have been very impressed by "Forgiveness", the work of the choir is impressive with only a few notes of saxophone merging with the choir. Beautiful, simply beautiful and magical. If you have 5 minutes to listen to this song ... I recommend it. Edited December 15, 20187 yr by jose
December 16, 20187 yr Trentemøller – The Last Resort A bit dancier than I was expecting (the album cover made me think "ambient") but an enjoyable listen – on further listening, it sounds a bit like minimalist ambient/dance or chillout music. Edited December 17, 20187 yr by HiWire
December 17, 20187 yr Doolittle 25: B-Sides, Peel Sessions And Demos The demos are raw, unpolished, and sublime!
December 19, 20187 yr I was just trying to remember who did that. I’ve been wearing a cowboy hat and my mask, and explaining myself thusly: you know, in the days of the Wild West, cowboys used to wear bandannas to keep dust and bugs out of their mouths...well, this is just a high tech version of the same thing—only it’s for pollution and allergens. I’m a Space Cowboy...bet you weren’t ready for that...
December 20, 20187 yr I am glad that I have a stand-up desk at work, because I can't help dancing to this... the last song "Hialeah" - rips
December 21, 20187 yr Pretty fun. Big Band/Swing arrangements of his back catalog. He can still sing!
