What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

D’Virgilio, Morse & Jennings | Sophomore 

(Nick D’Virgilio of Spocks Beard, Cirque Du Soleil, Neal Morse of Spocks Beard, Neal Morse Band and Ross Jennings of Haken)

Melodic, acoustic-driven pop-folk rock with an emphasis on layered vocal harmonies and a relaxed, yet melodic sound reminiscent of 1970s soft rock acts like Crosby, Stills & Nash. A complete departure from the Progressive Rock roots of Spocks Beard and Haken.

When I saw this pop up in the last week's threads, I figured I'd missed the party.  Then I saw it began in 2012 and was still going.  My trusty Rotel RCD-1072 was offline for a while as I was ripping every new CD to FLAC and running off of a drive.  The initial a/b between the player and a FLAC file of the same thing favored the latter, so I put the player on the bench awaiting reassignment.  Then a friend gave me a couple of office boxes full of CDs to enjoy or take to the thrift store.  Having blindly ripped a lot of CDs that I later found to be rather unenjoyable, I decided to put the Rotel back in service to preview everything before ripping.  Which (finally) brings me to the question posed by this thread.  Paul Rodgers Live in Glasgow sounded downright amazing for a live recording.  As I told a friend, it's the first time in a while that I played music that made me immediately want more volume.  The second cool feature of this CDP is HDCD capability.  I found a few CDs in the pile with that encoding, and Cyrus Chestnut's CD with several notable artists (Anita Baker et al) is a very well done bit of jazz.  As a result of these discoveries, the Rotel player has secured a permanent spot in the rack, whether for previewing or enjoying the limited number of HDCD discs out there.

Wow this is 13 years old  ,I should go back and see all of my answers through thecyears...I got a,Beach Boys 3 cd box set...in a tin box....just sitting there telling me come on play meeeeeee.

Available only on CD, the two solo albums (The Sea To The North, and Music For Our Lady Queen Of The Angels)  by The Band's resident (and recently deceased) genius Garth Hudson. A little hard to find for a while, but now available on ebay. Music no one but Garth could have made.

 

Van Morrison - Remembering Now

 (his latest and maybe his best in decades IMO)
