Always breaths life into me. After listening/watching this ^^ I needed some more Paula Cole, so: American Quilt Paula Cole 2021 https://album.link/i/1558502979 Example: I wasn't sure about this to begin with. There are a bunch of styles on this album, that I was not sure would match Paula's voice. I was happily proven wrong track after track. The Example, plus the 'audiophile system setup quality'™️ of Bye Bye Blackbird will have me coming back to this album for more. Thanks Paula. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 50yo Honky Château Elton John 1972 https://album.link/i/1440910513 Example: A good Album with some gems. Thx Elton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) 50yo Still Bill Bill Withers 1972 https://album.link/i/989376986 Example: I still have a handful of 50yo albums that I had in my queue as I came to the end of the year. But after doing some sampling, I had to go with Bill. There is the classic Lean on Me, but I had to share the 'get up and dance', Use Me. It is really a good album. Not a perfect recording, or voice, or playing. But it got the groove down perfectly. I wanted the next song to come along so I could keep head bobbing along. Deep Purple and Jethro will remain in the queue. I will get back to the others some other time. I enjoyed the 50yo explorations, I probably wont continue it in the new year. Got too many things in my queue. Edited January 1, 2023 by mikeymad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 Speak for Yourself Imogen Heap 2005 https://album.link/i/1016968922 Example: Thought I would share one of the lesser known, but no lesser of the songs for the Example. I just pulled up the album to do some testing, one of my go to albums. But I cannot seem to listen to my test tracks and then not listen to the entire album. Of note, the TIDAL mix seems to be slightly different than the 2005 CD release that I have. This maybe because of the deluxe versions that they released last decade. Not that it is bad, just slightly different than what my acoustic memory is telling me. I will have to do some more testing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Didn't make it to see Stanley Whitaker at a winery doing his thing, which is always great, but got to listen to some of his music with some friends as well as some Happy the Man, so life's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should have the recordings for the Mozart 20 and 23 (above). The Paul Badura-Skoda Edition - Concerto Recordings Paul Badura-Skoda 2017 https://album.link/i/1452769856 Example: Not all 47 tracks and 8 hours worth. But: Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K.466 Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K.488 -- Paul Badura-Skoda, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Milan Horvat Not the greatest recordings out there - but powerful performances, both by Paul and Vienna Orchestra. and all of these: Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.1 in C Major, Op.15 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.2 in B Flat Major, Op.19 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.3 In C Minor, Op.37 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4 in G Major, Op.58 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5 in E Flat Major Op.73 -"Emperor" -- Paul Badura-Skoda, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Hermann Scherchen This Beethoven that people are talking about these days. The kids got some talent with the whole piano music writing and stuff. He should branch out and try some other genres as well. I will keep and eye on him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm321 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'll definitely check out that performance. I'll listen to 20 & 23 for sure. Not sure how far I'll get after that. Yeah, Beethoven's not bad for a deaf dude. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Fire in the West Neil Swainson 2022 https://album.link/i/1615136918 Example: A really nice set. 10 songs over the course of an hour. With nice breaks and breakdowns, well recorded and really balanced. Hmmm, it may sound that I am lukewarm about this album. Not in the slightest, it has put me in a relaxed jazz attitude. And I like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augsburger Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Mia, one of Emily's grad school classmates is the lead in this song. We love acapella and Mia has the most beautiful and engaging voice. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Fred Hersch and Esperanza Spalding - Alive at the Village Vanguard First jazz release in 2023 that I've listened to. If this is just a starter, this year is going to have awesome jazz. Edited January 6, 2023 by Torpedo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Nice - I have that in my queue. I was listening to 'fresh' music last night as well. Mirrored in Time Jörgen Van Rijen, Alma Quartet 2023 https://album.link/i/1659656775 Example: All things trombone. A nice mix of challenging pieces along with fun and lovely works. Cheers to 2023.

mikeymad Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Listen to a soundtrack I thought, for some light listening. Oops: TÁR Hildur Guðnadóttir, Cate Blanchett, Sophie Kauer 2022 https://album.link/i/1642488191 Example: A combination of clips, recordings and score. Some good things in there, but it left me disjointed. It feels like those super deluxe album releases were you get a bunch of takes and talking along with a couple of songs. Interesting, but not in rotation. Maybe I need to see the movie. :} 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) A lovely listen to close out the work week.... Vana Liya "Little Kahuna." Reggae-influenced, along with a healthy mix of styles, and a soft pleasing voice. Edited January 6, 2023 by skullguise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 1995 opus. Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness Smashing Pumpkins 1995 https://album.link/i/721224313 Example (of many): I didn't listen to much of 'current' music in the 90s. I was all over the place once I got my first main rig. But happy to have listened to this, I really liked it, with its ebbs and flows. They are much more than the '1979' tune that we all know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, on the other hand, listened to a SHITLOAD of music in the 90's. Also went to a crazy amount of concerts. I was teased about being able to pick something that I would want to see/hear every night of the week. If I might recommend a couple favourites: Curve, Cuckoo and Pubic Fruit Depeche Mode, Violator Garbage and Version 2.0 The Gathering, Mandylion, Nighttime Birds, and How to Measure a Planet? godhead, Nothingness and Power Tool Sigmata Halou, We Only Love You and (technically 2001) Wiser My Bloody Valentine, Loveless Nine Inch Nails, Broken, The Downward Spiral, and The Fragile Slowdive, Just for a Day, Souvlaki, and Pygmalion Stabbing Westward, Darkest Days and Whither Blister Burn and Peel ...and probably a shitload more I'm forgetting. Me: listening to some a capella group called Washinton University Amateurs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Are we allowed to bring up Smashing Pumpkins and not mention Pavement? Also giving Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness an early morning try. Edited January 7, 2023 by blessingx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Some more 'fresh' music: Mozart: Krönungsmesse, K. 317 & Other Choral Works (Live) Various Artists (--I think that they just didn't want to list them all) 2023 https://album.link/i/1660093617 Example: Slightly compressed for this live recording, maybe a touch conservative on the recording engineers part (speculation). But some really nice performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 And Then I Wrote Willie Nelson 1962 https://album.link/i/1443134445 Example: Classic Album with Classic tracks. I guess I should have listened last year when it turned 60yo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Willie wrote the majority of his songs in under 15 minutes each. Three Days was a hit for Patsy Cline and K.D. Lang. Hello Walls was a #1 hit for Farron Young. Crazy was a #1 hit for Patsy Cline. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Funny How Time Slips Away was recorded by a large number of artist, including Elvis. Several artists had a big hit with it, including Al Green and Ray Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
