either ive had my head in the sand or something worse. forget cdnow, amazon, or b+n, towerrecords.com has about the best prices for new stuff, and they have 'used'. the used are customer returns, not items they purchased from individuals. not only that, i purchased new Reference Recordings LPs yesterday! and the good part-shipping is $4.95/order, not /item, not/shipment. i LOVE this place, and they have most everything available. search by artist, title, label, this is great! a guy could go broke saving money and time. another fave for the list--vollenweider-caverna magica on LP. the cd is good, i had it first but the LP is more spacious and the COVER ART. i hate miniatures.
I will search Tower records tonight, before I go to sleep. I couldn't sleep anyway, with the prospect of finding great music at a bargain! Thanks for the tip.
Last night I watched the movie, "The Insider" on DVD (with Al Pacino), and was blown away with the sound track. At the end of the movie, I read the music credits and found the name Elizabeth Fraser, the same person I commented about on 3-16-00, at this same posting. It is amazing to me that Audiophiles discover mysterious and wonderful artists so many years ahead of mainstream. "This Mortal Coil" with this near identical sound from Elizabeth Fraser was produced on 4AD Records in 1984, as I am sure many of you music fans are aware of.
I wanted to let you know of another CD that makes music, its from Mickey Hart Plant Drum, called Supralingua, he has got people from all over the world to do this music, if this doesn`t make you tap your feet, you should check your pulse, YOU MIGHT BE DEAD!!!!! Greg
This suggestion(s) aren't very 0riginal, but i'll mention them , anyway. Three are from BMG classical club; Eliot Fisk, "ViValdi Concerti", Emerson string quartet "Shoshtakovich string quartet #8" and SUPERB!! sounding and Executed Mozart "Requiem" Berliner Philharmoniker with Claudio Abbado on DG label. I also have, another version on LP but there is no competition, CD wins. This time. Also arrived unticipated "Sacred Treasures II" choral works from the Sistine chapel by "hearts of space". Well, this is the time when i question my system. The sound from this CD was too "reverbant" almost painful. I would like to hear other experiances with this CD. Thanks
