Sophie Zelmani "The World Ain't Pretty"

 

[JediJoker]

dire straits on every street

The original Warner USA CD—which probably uses the same mastering (?)—is one of my reference discs, especially "How Long."

A great piece of Italian PROG ..Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso..Lo Sono Nato Libero kicking of this afternoons listening session.
(Ok, I don't understand the lyrics..other than tranquillo and bambino lol, but the music is great !)

Great choice for listening! Their most recent, Orlando: Le Forme dell'Amore is wonderful, and apparently based on an ancient poem.

I purchased the nine song limited edition vinyl and was not impressed. Maybe, it’ll get better with repeat listening sessions but it may just be me getting used to the album. It sucks that only 3 tracks have an actual drum kit. Planet Zero is a really good song, the best on the album and has an actual drum kit.

How are the bonus tracks on your two CD Deluxe Edition?

Nope! Still sounds like crap. Very few songs sound decent enough but are muddied by the overall flat and lifeless presentation. Simple Minds fans may want to look elsewhere.

 

[cbmmm3]

Im listening via CD. You are listening via LP. Perps, could that be the difference ? IDK.....I am a Simple Minds fan and I find it to be a fine album

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

Always found this album title uncomfortable, more so now.
The 3CD/1DVD set so the main album played in 24/96 LPCM. Sounds fine.
Disc 2 (Demos & B-Sides) is good.
Sound like demos but prefer the stripped down versions better than the finished product in some cases.

The Smiths - Live In Boston

Disc 3 from The Queen Is Dead box set (see previous post above).
Not the greatest live recording I’ve ever heard (it’s rough) but decent energy and the songs come across well.

Sounds great to me.

Must play 'Millionaire Blues' too. SPIN...
