Robert Forster – Inferno - luv this album and a first class recording/pressing. very analog sounding record.

Boards Of Canada – The Campfire Headphase

 

 

Does anyone know or remember this song?

Tinka just played it for me -- totally my kind of song (breathy female vocal; ethereal, atmospheric music).

Hi Ron,

I have heard that song on radio in Sweden, but that’s about it.. It is a very good, beautiful song, and very nice tunes.
You can send my regards to your wife, that she has very good taste of music .

All the best

Diverse category of music developed since the mid 90's meeting your description. I don't believe there have been any signs your tastes would expand to current implementations even if they were given higher quality audiophile level releases. By which I mean near ubiquitous qualities are displayed across album releases in a given commercial pop genre only to find true artistic value in remixes and edits that end up being the definitive version to own.

For both your own and Tinka's interests, I'd suggest this is one of the newer offerings worthy of comparison while exemplifying the formulaic example above to a T. It is a "Live on Vogue" performance by London Grammar of a song that was never bettered from this performance in multiple other highly enjoyable versions.

 

Yes, London Grammar is right up my alley, and I have liked them ever since KeithR introduced them to me.

But I don't understand why you think this particular recording you posted is better sound quality than the studio version we have on CD and LP.

 

@rando - Thanks for posting the London Grammar video. I wasn't familiar with them and will check out some of their CDs. Girl can sing!

Not surprised you were aware of London Grammar.

I tried to be quite clear the video was posted on merit of performance quality. A very fine dollar says Condé Nast' capture of that performance was impeccable, for their archives alone, if that is of concern.

Actually a bit surprised you own both formats of "If You Wait" given how small your collection of both combined is.

Yes, she can actually sing. Quite well outside of studio trickery and other shaping elements. Not so common you fail to look up to it.

i have only the vinyl. But as the recording is very likely a digital recording I thought that the CD played back on a digital system might very likely sound better than the LP played back on an analog system.

i long ago procured on vinyl almost everything I had on CD, and I now have only about seven CDs, and three of them are Stereophile Test CDs.

Just glad I picked something you actually liked.

Apologies if there was some confusion surrounding picking an example that more closely mirrored an Unplugged or alternate take. These began getting recorded for official/unofficial albums less and performed more often than excessively overplayed radio versions.

I never actually looked into whether Vogue released this LG song on a compilation. Became quite a widespread practice to release this type of studio recording during the pandemic.

Of course. Spun the vinyl a few weeks back.
Super album Ron.

 

Daniel Avery & Assesandro Cortini - beautiful album of abstract synth drone noise - so relaxing, luv it.

 

Quincy Jones - Ai No Corrida
