What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Earlier today, I was listening to some excellent Jazz (classic Jazz from the 50-60s) on the r.a.d.i.o.

And then few hours ago I spun those two CDs in my Rotel CD player; just for the fun of it. :b

------- -------------------

* Madonna is encoded (recorded) in QSound (no decoder needed). ...The music is electronic, with some deep bass at times (electronic drums, synthesizers), very wide effects (stereo at almost 180 degree), but Madonna's voice is not my bag (she sounds like a spoiled, young little girl).
- I luv the tune 'Vogue', my fave.

** Dead Can Dance's first song is real cool, with very deep bass (synthesizer) at some points:
play it real loud to have that bass' full impact.

A rainy Thursday afternoon in which a different mood settled in for me ...

P.S. You can click on those two picture covers above, for info & free music samples.

I bought the Immaculate collection CD (and as I type, I just realized it's a play on words - Immaculate Conception, duh!), as I thought the song Who's That Girl was on it. I think that she's very talented, but annoying, too.

 

Spinning right now ...

Cool Jazz (Classic Jazz) on the French HD R.a.d.i.o. :b

Another band that I'd love to see get a true audiophile treatment is "Enigma". You'd love them if you like DCD.

 

Derek Sherinian - Oceana (2011 Original Pressing) - Mascot Label Group

 

I haven't decided yet. The system is warming up with the music server right now. I do know it will be a combination of digital, LPs, and tape.

And Wasatch, what's the deal with the wire ties on the front corners of your P-5??

What? That's felt for the dust cover, Rega standard for the P5.

 

Oh. It just looked funky like you tied it on there. I thought maybe it was new Rega tweak.

I will say, i am really very happy to see the number of remasterings coming thru, some of which are breathtakingly better than, say, the 1992 version. That said...i also wish there were more. Fortunately they seem to be coming. FIM, Analogue Productions, Verve, I even have 24/96 remasters of Neville Marriner's Four Seasons.

 

Blue Oyster Cult - Imaginos (1988 Original Pressing) (Promo) - Columbia Records

 

Murray Perhaia - Mozart Piano Concertos.
