What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Hi Tang, what I am saying is, I want you to try playing it with different combinations and report where it doesn't work.

Kedar. I am listening to this Carmen Suite. I don’t know if you have this already, but a very very good old non hifi recording.

I have never tried ambient on vinyl, for me I guess mostly because I use it for meditation/sleeping and don't want to get jolted into consciousness by the needle slamming into the run out groove.

It has always been a digital thing for me, have to try it I guess.

You won't fall asleep listening to this ambient - its quite mesmerising.


Stephen Stills - self tilted album - 2009 Classic records reissue of the 1970 album - sounds amazingly good.

 

You sure listen to all kinds of music XV.

Not falling asleep on this album...just yawning .

Today's newer TTs are like digital, no ticks and pops and needle stuck in the groove...with mint records.
But the sound is nowhere near digital; it's grounded, earthy.
I love ambiance music, music for airports...Brian Eno...on vinyl.

 

Midori Takada

I also like listening to ambient on both analog and digital. I suggest everyone to give a go to 45rpm reissue of Midori Takada's "Through the Looking Glass" Experimental percussion album that goes into ambient territories.



For the piano albums that were discussed a little earlier, I have both the RCA 45rpm d2s Appasionata with Ikuya Kamiya and the Byron Janis 45rpm of Pictures at an Exhibition. I think they are both great solo piano LP's. RCA has great dynamics/headroom while Janis as a piano player has a very unique touch which creates his beautiful tone and it is recorded on this LP. Both great suggestions and both from my favourites.

 

Nojima plays Liszt RR 45rpm

I would also add Nojima plays Liszt - Reference Recordings 45rpm to good piano recordings list. It was already a good recording and an incredible performance. Now on 45rpm you would enjoy the extended bandwidth and the dynamics closer to the source, I certainly am doing right now!

 

 

This arrived today from the UK. Decca SXL 2279 WB groove, ED1. Sublime.

 

I have the ED2 for Ricci Lalo symphonie espagnole

 

I went for a test drive...

Different.

Please pass the bong.

 

I have the ED2 for Ricci Lalo symphonie espagnole

I still need that record. ED1 fetching $600-$900 on ebay according to posike.com
ED2 are a great option when ED1 is bringing stratospheric money on Ebay for the big hits. Ed2 of the great Decca titles are hard to find.

 

 

Tonight I started with Iron Maiden

 

double post

 

Than LINCOLN MAYORGA&AMANDA MCBROOM “GROWING UP IN HOLLYWOOD TOWN (1980)” BY SHEFFIELD LAB It is sonic boom

 

From Golden years of stereo time, Decca Vinyl, baroque music of spain with castanets. Very unusual classical music but love it.

 

That has to be one of the most diverse set of 3 LPs I have seen. I love that Iron Maiden album too...and I own the Mayorga/McBroom but rarely play it. That’s awesome.
