Dig Seal. Never owned any of his records. The vinyl is pricey, it was released during the nadir. Any particular CD release that’s being used as a reference for this?
I agree with @frogman - some systems that are super revealing of detail don’t sound very much like real music to me.
I think I caught Seal performing at the Grammy Awards- if I’m right, this would have been 1996? With Coolio doing the Gangster’s Paradise overlay on that great Stevie Wonder track. I was fried, had flown in directly from Amsterdam to LA- brutal flight.
Trevon Horn is an interesting producer. Lots of effects.
Happy to buy the CD if there is one that is recommended and not crushed. I don’t love it enough to buy the record at big figures. Correction: Seal II is the LP that costs big money, as far as I can tell, based on a fast search, neither the first nor second albums were even released in the US on vinyl, were they?
