One of the best jazz recordings from Verve in the 90's, with a DR15. This album also marks the last appearance of Miles Davis as a side man. Toots Thielemans and Wynton Marsalis appears on the album as well. You can find it on Qobuz.

 

It is fantastic. Highest recommendation.

Was in the mood from some Journey all day for some reason. I've been listening to the "Essential Journey" Album for a few years and have never been too impressed with its sound. I believe it was spawned from the 1996 Remaster. In any event, the content is priceless so I thought nothing of it.

 

After doing some digging around on the web today looking for a better version I remembered that I had another Journey album that I purchased many years ago but never burned it to .WAV so I went digging in the basement and found this one below.

 

Journey's Greatest Hits (1988 Release)

After consulting the online DR Database I about shit a brick when I found out this copy is probably one of the best versions of the bands work to own as it was never violated by someones bad idea of a Remaster.

 

Listening to it now and concur, the sound is impeccable!

I just picked up an interesting CD, a little different than I usually buy. It is called Raising Sand with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. It is rated Folk. You will want a sub or full range speakers as the bass in the music really makes the music interesting.

No less than Album of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards. The genius behind that sound is producer T-Bone Burnett:

I too very much like this recording of the Brandenburgs, Overtures and other concertos. For information, the later albums within this set are available in excellent high-res sound.

 

Yes i saw that on Qobuz but it was a better deal to buy the whole set in redbook as just the two last albums are available in his rez; but i bought their new Vivaldi Estro Armonico in 24bit/96khz.

Dean Wareham-Emancipated Hearts (2013)

 

Ex-Galaxie 500 and Luna frontman first release under his name. An Autumnal miniCD (miniLP, 10", whatever) with some very solid songs of 'peaceful psychedelia' looking for the spirit of the VU third record, Lee Hazlewood, etc. I like it very much. Recommended.
