ALL ABOUT MUSIC #2 - Non Surround, Not Covered In Other Threads

[Perp]

After some Level 42, I'm familiarizing myself with some of the tracks off The Doors Perception box set.

 

[Perp]

I forgot how good The Doors 1st album really is. Someday, I'd like to rank them in order of best. Who would like to be the first to start such a Thread? :upthumbopcorn

I'm sitting here listening to a-ha and it just hit me. I totally forgot about the Audio Fidelity version of The Doors quad. I'm not in a hurry because I'm listening to my new speakers that make two channel sound like surround. And they're only two speakers.

Speaking of a-ha...this is a pretty cool concert

Yes. I have the BD and have played it to death.

After some Level 42, I'm familiarizing myself with some of the tracks off The Doors Perception box set.

My goal was to listen to the first album, play the tracks that were on the "Best Of", then play the "Best Of" to compare. Unfortunately, I only made it through the first album on the box set and never did open and play the AF "Best Of' Quad. I was in one of those, play a couple to few songs off an album, kind of mood yesterday.

On another thread I mentioned a song from ..."back in the day" that really fires me up...still does...that song was (Don't Fear)The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult...several others mentioned it as well...well that group had another song that I remember..not quite on the same level as Reaper...but very good...

Yep was a great ALbum - Used to be one of my fave bands - Snood met Eric Bloom Back Stage during this tour.

Still though, Spectres is my fave album by them..........minus Godzilla (overplayed)

 

[Perp]

Die-hard fans insist that Blue Öyster Cult's first 3 records were their best, along with "On Your Feet, Or On Your Knees". I liked it when they turned a bit more commercial with "Agents Of Fortune", and along with "Spectres", my most played records by the band. "Cultösaurus Erectus" was played just as much too.

IMHO, Secret Treaties is best. Have owned on SQ, Q8, cassette, CD & expanded CD w/Born to Be Wild.

 

[Perp]

Speaking of BÖC, their catalog is in great need of an overhaul. Their later period CD's sound like crap.

 

[DuncanS]

Just ordered this from Magenta, along with Christina's solo album, shame neither are in 5.1 :music

Unfortunately they will be only get more compressed with "modern" remastering...

I had Secret Treaties LP back in the day.....loved to space out over the cover...

 

[Clint Eastwood]

It's happened again...a Wes Montgomery sighting on another thread compels me to feature an artist...if you want to hear guitar greatness...just listen to some of these tunes..most jazz players had to take a backseat to the music of the 60's...the sheer numbers of great bands and the emergence of rock relegated jazz to the shadows...but Wes Montgomery decided to "go with the flow"...convert some of those popular songs to his style...and the result was impressive...pop..folk..rock...he didn't care if it was the Beatles or the Association..he made the songs his own...check out some of his songs

All this talk about Jazz...I had to break out the Miles Davis Take Off blu ray audio disc....SO much content on this disc...

One before I turn in.

Dinah Washington - I Wanna Be Loved (Verve 2005 CD release)

Fantastic sounding 1961 Mercury album featuring Quincy Jones plus a bunch of amazing players such as Joe Newman and Clark Terry on trumpet, Jimmy Cleveland and Kai Winding on trombone, and Al Cohn on tenor.

 

[Perp]

Unfortunately they will be only get more compressed with "modern" medicine...

Now, that's more like it!

Put me down for at least one copy of an AF surround release of this one.
