hilde45 Why do you not like Year of the Cat? LOL I have the new box set with the 5.1 Dolby and it is VERY well recorded on my system. My favorite and show off disc is Eagle's at Melbourne. Jeff Becks at Ronnie Scotts is a close second... But I think most on this forum prefer stereo. I like to be surrounded.... |
Try Al DeMeola's Scenario. Along with Al's virtuoso guitar work, Tony Levin's bass stick will tickle your wobbly bits, and Jan Hammer's keyboard playing is on par with anything he's ever done. Rounding out the band with Phil Collins and Bill Bruford on Drums and an extremely well produced mix, you have a disc that can tax the best of systems. Caution: careful with the low end! |
pedroeb, you have it right. My mistake if people thought I meant tracks to evaluate sound equipment. I watched the video and don’t agree with the term "Ear Candy". Sounds like Steely Dan Gaucho should be avoided because it is "too" well recorded. From my view point, I am a musician first, second a music lover, and lastly an "Audiophile" who puts equipment together to try to reproduce the artists message. If an engineer or producer is talented enough to reproduce life like music in your home, should that be avoided? Remember George Martin was the fifth Beatle or maybe the first, depending on how you look at it. I saw a video on YouTube and this gentleman stated he swaps out at least two pairs of speakers and two sets of amps every day! I would rather spend my limited time listening to music over playing with endless gear. Anyway I’m not here to debate. Spanish Harlem by Rebeca Pidgeon is my example of one of the best female vocalist, magically captured on a recoded medium, and if you have the right equipment - will take you THERE! Yes Ear Candy for sure. |
