afx Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I'll buy cassettes every once in a while too. I still have my tape deck, a Nakamichi. Not one of their top-of-the-line models but a nice deck nonetheless. Edited February 7, 2020 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I still buy new CDs. As much as I have embraced streaming, I still like holding physical copies of albums. I still enjoy reading liner notes. Thrift stores and garage sales are great for picking up tons of CDs for not much money. Much like people used to do with vinyl, I offer $20 or whatever for a case of CDs. If there are a handful of gems amongst the garbage, then I'm happy. And then I take the unwanted down to a used CD store, where they are happy to buy them from me. And usually just exchange for something they have in stock that I want. Everyone is happy.

STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I like it. Nice to hear her with an orchestra backing the piece. Its short, will there be a longer version or is this just a teas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 I assume this is the full length version. I heard it for the first time today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listened to it again on my home system (Peachtree audio DAC, Monitor Audio silver 100's) Proly just me but her vocals are a bit weak. Knowing this is the trend today with young artists. I rather like the old John Barry,Shirley Bassey stuff myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I've developed a fascination for jrock/pop. This could use better mixing, but it's the only youtube I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I'm just now hearing Yes' "Roundabout" as an acoustic version....... I like it. Edited February 16, 2020 by JollySipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Great version TJ thanks for sharing it. Steve Howe's acoustic guitar solo was a highlight of any Yes show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Arcam has some good reviews. I scaled back from a multi channel Rotel system to this two channel approach and run a "Vortex-Box" loaded with all my ripped C.D.s (and some DVD's) all controlled by the Ipeng app on my IPad/IPhone.Lots of features available to those who are willing to learn a bit of coding. With my terrible tinnitus from working in production machine shops, my hearing has probably ruined my ability to judge anything musical (or maybe it was my misspent youth). Most likely why I tend to like wierd angular music, getting hard to hear subtleties. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Topic is obscure. I can think of a few bands I actually got to see and just how off the dial they where. Legindary Pink Dots, Tupelo chain sex, The Jazz Butcher, or most any band that played at First Avenue in MPLS. during the 80's-90's. I worked two blocks away and had a roommate who night owled as a bar tender there so I was constantly dropping in, was it My Bloody Valentine that night?or The Church?... well... yah?! Even got to see Primal Scream. A real treat with an excellent tripy 1960's style acid light show. Wonderful! One particular night we saw "the Waterboys"Touring their first album "This is the Sea" That was just magical. If you haven't listened to it give it a try, chances are you have heard a song or two.

Sounds like you have a great setup for your digital library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Fun thread, really have enjoyed listening to some stuff you all are into. Here is one that I like quite a bit. (Zydeco Blues sort of thing) Sonny Landreth, "Gone Pecan". From the album Grant Street. Great album, check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
