Madeline Peyroux/dreamland

Andy, I second Marco's comment. I don't know what you're hearing...

Both CDs are great, and I feel that "Dreamland" has slightly better sound. I agree with Marco and Gaudio_eek.

Regards,

I have Dreamland and her new one, as well. Rummy, we must be listening to different cds. Her first one was a very good recording. Not pristine, but quite good. Intimate and pretty natural. Careless Love, (the performance/voice) is fabulous, but the recording is compressed and lower in quality to Dreamland. Maybe your Dreamland was a funky one. hey, whatever floats your boat. I would love to hear Careless Love rerecorded and opened up a bit, sound wise...peace, warren

I think madeleine is terrific. i'm so disapointed with the CD quality though. I am listening to an Atlantic recording "dreamland" CD/HDCD and the # is 0-7567-82946-24. 1996. Whoever mastered and mixed this should be ashamed. In fact its on the liner notes...Michael O'Reilly what a dunce.

Consider Dreamland one of my better recordings. She is amazing, regardless, and I do not doubt for a moment that any person would find even this recording to fall a bit short of doing her full justice.
