The new Decca Legends Series remastered at 24/96 from the analog masters unfortunately downsampled to redbook but still a major improvement. The Solti recording of Mahler's 8 (symphony of a 1000) is a personal fave and I believe better than the Decca pressing

I have been looking for "Mirror ball" by Sarah Mclachlan, on vinyl. I don't even know if it exists. Any help on locating this would be greatly appreciated!

I just listened to the CD today, and it sure is great. I've not seen it on vinyl, sorry. Do you have the Classic Records LP's from Sarah? Kinda "oversmooth" but very good nonetheless. I wish she would leave her husband, and marry me, heh heh heh.

Carl, your a man after my own taste! That goes for Sarah, Jennifer Warnes, and Meg Ryan all three. I could hear two great voices and just looking at Meg Ryan is music enough! If you find a source of Mirrorball it would be wonderful. And, yes, I do have "Surfacing" on Classic Records, in fact I ordered a second copy today.

PJ Harvey: "Rid Of Me." Gut wrenching alterno blues-rock. Well recorded, great dynamics, songs from a woman done wrong! Much Much better than the "To Bring Me Your Love" let-down album that won all the awards. There is definately something to be said about singer/songwriters. I love Ella as much as the next guy, but knowing that Cole Porter was a part of her best puts me off a little. Her "Mac the Knife" is great, but I can't imagine in threatening poses brandishing sharp objects. She does do a great Louis Armstrong though. If you are looking for raw human honesty, "Rid of Me" is up your alley. I have also been impressed with recordings from the label "MA"... all audiophile 2 channel with acoustic space in mind. There was an interview with Art Garfinkle in Stereophile last year. MA also put out "Alternasia" the Gamelon stuff from Jon Iverson. Really Really good stuff. It's East meets West; islands of Java meets the good ol' US of A.
