Videos - oomph, tympani, menace, power

Show me if you got the power

Black Sabbath tritone, start of heavy metal

The last video (Post #5) is particularly impressive. What song is that? What source? Vinyl?

Oh, this one falls deep into the Menace barrel. Of this overall poorly-engineered Greatest Hits CD I own, Pinball Wizard just might be the poorest. Yet, still so fun to listen to. The Who has some fabulous songs but for some reason this one always stood out a bit further.

There may be a touch of mic overload here or there but imo you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't crank this up.

I like the bass very much. Impactful, quick, does its thing only when and where suppose to.

Hi Lloyd guess you are not into rock/metal at all as this is the start.

That is the black Sabbath song by black Sabbath, and that weird tone that repeats, called tritone, is what the anti metal brigade claimed in those was calling the devil. Their guitarist had lost his two fingers while working in a metal factory in Birmingham, and some said that music sounds like heavy metal.

This song and led zep's immigrant song were said to have started heavy metal. Though Plant later said he hoped not because he found metal too structured and samey. The other instance where the term heavy metal was recorded in the early days was when a journalist used the phrase to describe a Jimmy Hendrix concert.

The source for the black Sabbath is tape. For Beethoven 9th is a Garrard and not so good LP

 

[bonzo75]

His Marimba recorded on tape also has serious power

Bass and Timpani are one thing but for real power you need to add 7-8 horns, trombones, baritones, maybe some Wagner tubas and perhaps an organ.

How 'bout a stereo system video of Alexander Nevsky or Siegfried's Funeral March. (heh)

Solti is fun to watch

Then again, there's power in a big choir

I have this as well. Great stuff!

 

[bonzo75]

yeah ... that's good ... very good.

edit: Is that with the VPO ?

Yes. Solti VPO

Will this work for you? I listen to it frequently since my visit in Feb but never posted it because I am 5 wines down here. Leif himself is not a classical guy more jazz, but we had sat through most of the whole 9th starting with the video on top and ending here, because it was so tough to stop.

 

[ack]

There probably has not been a worse video than #3

 

[bonzo75]

Same piece of music. This one is recorded by a professional, her recordings as you go through her channel are usually much better than any mobile recording

 

[Folsom]

That Altec setup is one of the most stringent sounding videos I have heard...
