It's very appropriate that the longest-lived topic on AS is about music, not gear.

Seems we have a domino effect now.. Seeing your satisfaction Chris, I can't resist the temptation to give it the first like As for the general forum the most popular thread recently has probably been 'MQA is Vaporware' but something tells me that combining these two into 'MQA Album of the Evening' would make a slightly less popular thread than these two christopher3393 1 Link to comment

Popular Post rando Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 The lacking recognition of first post here was a longstanding source of personal humor. Until today I was fairly sure nearly everyone down here was in on the joke. Especially when discussion maneuvered towards asking him to review the thread with questions towards locking it and starting afresh. 🎉 Congratulations and welcome to @Soothsayerman for exhibiting Audiophile Style. 🎉 The Computer Audiophile and Soothsayerman 1 1 Link to comment

Popular Post Daccord Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 My nephew visited recently. I can always count on him to bring over something interesting. (Available on Tidal, 7digital, and highresaudio, but you must search for "Strozzi: Virtuosissima compositrice" instead of "Barbara Strozzi") rando and Hugo9000 2 Link to comment

Popular Post rando Posted June 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2019 Original Atlantic US Disctronic... spur of the moment purchase of an album I haven't owned in many years. For all I know one of the newer remasters used studio trickery to reimagine it into an audiophile wonder recorded 40 years before it's time. Even now the choice of album cover by a group of prosperous rock stars is distasteful. WAM and sphinxsix 2 Link to comment

rando Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Only previous encounter with Vasks music was a Telarc I Fiamminghi disc containing 'Musica Dolorosa'. It slipped in here along with other much less shudder worthy compositions. Bird song even sprung up near the end! sphinxsix 1 Link to comment

Now the album cover, looks like it's a heavily manipulated copy of Karl Blossfeldt's Aconitum, plate #96 in Art Forms in Nature. And other albums in the series are the same thing: Cello Concerto has plate #53 Cucurbita and Chamber Music has plate #32 Eryngium bourgatii. Interesting. rando and accwai 1 1 Link to comment
