On the SONY SCD-1 tonight?:

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms, 20th Anniversary Edition, from 2005, on SACD, played in 7.4 surround sound. Best version EVER of this album. The mighty power from the intro guitar riff on ”Money For Nothing” almost makes the teeth loosen from the jaw, hahaha?:p Totally Insane !!!

Afraid glitter and garland are both out these days. Too many microplastics.
Vinyl may be the next casualty. CD manufacturing hasn't kept factory lights burning through the night in some years.

:eek::p

Calm relaxing jazz with…

Patricia Barber - Verse, -Orginally released in 2002. This however is the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab version from 2005, on Ultradisc - UHR (Ultra High Resolution) SACD Hybrid.

Alison Goldfrapp - The Love Invention

superb album and the vinyl sounds amazing. I then realised that JD - John Davis from Metropolis cut the vinyl - he is one of the best around and has done so many other albums.
My heart dropped a beat to realise he had passed away on Sept 13th, age 63.
Very Sad indeed RIP JD

Do yourself a favour and pick up this vinyl as an example of JD's superb mastering.

Hi Shane,

Always sad when we loose good people. May he rest in peace.

I can see why you love this album. Darn good feel to this music. Streaming it right now in my earpods at work - definitely a ”got to have” album. On top of my first buy list?:p !!

Thank you!
