Back to swooning over Sade's "Promise," especially "Is It A Crime," "War Of The Hearts" and "Mr. Wrong." Great music and amazing sonics for a big, studio pop album.

Also, Bonnie Raitt, "Nick Of Time" on the original vinyl release - "Cry On My Shoulder" is mesmerizing.

Tonight:
Jan Garbarek : Esoteric Circle -Flying Fish, forget about "Folk Songs" and other NewAgey stuff by him, this is 1969 George Russell tight reign yet

John McLaughlin : Extrapolation - with John Surman adding some heat

Milt Buckner : Green Onions - some killer organ + piano tracks, never need to be remastered

For sure I am not playing any recent 45's redo's of same old stuff, it's just a cynical attitude of some in the Remastering Industry to vaste more of the foreign oil and my and your money. A culture cannot be converted into obsession with impunity - when we set out to describe a sound of things musical, we have thus defined the nature of apathy towards the essence of humanity, as all music is politically suspect (Plato).
In modern times we can prove this by having no high fidelity recordings of the sounds of the Omaha Beach, the battle of Stalingrad, even the Hitler's speeches are recorded somewhat lacking in bass, not to mention them being plagued with a lot of grunge. Do we need re-mastering there ? Where are those Master tapes ?
Wait, there's more....

Well Cheers
