Straight To The Heart by David Sanborn (1984) https://album.link/i/81897219 Example: His work with Marcus Miller in the day was top notch. Did a lot of it getting written off as Soundtrack music,... sure. I think soundtracks are awesome.. RIP David. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Brad Mehldau - Après Fauré Very different from the Bach II. This is a lot more classical-newagey. Not really my thing but very listenable. As usual it's everywhere and beyond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not heard of this particular album before, nor of Sanborn's passing, but thought the confluence too much to pass up on this, so I had to buy it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 It took years for David Archuleta to finally come out as gay. When he did, he also announced that he was stepping away from the LDS church. He said that he didn't hear from his Mother for a few days, and that he thought that she was very upset with him. After a few more days she called him. She said that she was also stepping away from the church of LDS. She told him that if the church couldn't accept him as he was, she couldn't be a part of the church, and he and she could go to hell together. So he wrote this song. Great Mom! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Hi, Jose, welcome back. Condolences and sorry to hear about the circumstances of your absence, but feel free to vent -- or not -- and enjoin in your comfort music. This should always be a safe place. (Eventual) Cheers!

Torpedo Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Condolences, Jose. I'm hoping your condition is a thing of the past, if not yet, soon enough. There's no such thing as a small cancer requiring chemo for treatment. Best wishes, and share/vent as you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish (2024) https://album.link/i/1739659134 Example: Just one listen so far. It is on the lighter side of her work. More like the Barbie track than Bad Guy stuff. I will have to listen again and see what is in the lyrics. Production is top notch, which I expect these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jose Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Thanks guys. Right now I´m fine (or so my bllod marks say) but I´m in a bad "journey". Sorry for my tear message. To keep my mind busy, I've been spending time reviewing some recordings, for example "Use Your Ilusion II" My favorite work by G n´R. With darker/bohemian and more reflective themes. . Use your illusion II Original record 1991: I think it has a fairly balanced sound, it is the easiest to listen to for a long period of time. It doesn't have any outstanding qualities, but it doesn't suffer from any flaws either. . Use your illusion II Mofy: It has a more "pasty" sound, a bit exaggerated bass and midrange, and treble that in comparison is a little muted for my. In some songs this packaging is graceful but sometimes everything sounds very tangled. At the time I spent €200 on this edition. Beyond its aura of exclusive/limited product, I wouldn't spend them today . Use Your Illusion II Edición Deluxe: A more modern mix, they have removed some noise and improved the stereo effect of the original a bit. The treble is not as high as in the original version. In general they have respected the original recording quite a bit. I've especially noticed Axl's voice, which is usually quite aggressive at times, and Slash and Izzy's guitars (still present on some songs). For about 30 bucks, the deluxe edition seems like a great purchase to me. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 I guess "original record" for Fragile means first CD edition, or would you be comparing the vinyl too? I'm not a big Yes fan, but I'd be interested in reading your thought about the different releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 To be fair I wanted to use CD only, but I can add this wonder to the comparison from 1973. 😁 This is the best edition without a doubt but the vinyl depends greatly on the cartridge you use (you know that I'm a lover of the Denon Dl 103 and103R) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it all works well together for me. But that would be a lot of notes... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 (edited) Still my favorite voice of all time. Followed by KD Lang at #2 and Alison Krauss at #3. And shout out to Willie Nelson for writing such a beautiful song. Edited May 21 by swt61 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I have to just remember 'Heart of the Sunrise' and I am back to listening to this album. As I just did.
