Natalie Merchant's Tigerlily on LP...any good?

Jax,

Maybe my memory is failing on the CJ trinity recording, but didn't the recording actually take pace in the hotel lobby they were staying at...the hum in the background was a window air conditioner.

Still sounds near-perfect though.

Fishboat - I think you've gone a killed a few too many brain cells, my friend. Here's the scoopon the original trinity session which was recorded in Toronto's Holy Church of the Trinity with a single microphone. The new version is also recorded in the same church which has amazing acoustic properties (the producer mentions it approaches the golden proportion at one point in the interview on the Revisited version). They use more than one mic in the new version. As I said, it stands on its own merits. Yes, the original is near-perfect, as you say.

My mind isn't what it used to be...in fact I'm not really sure it ever was what it used to be.

I'll have to look for the new version. If it's close to the first version then it'll go to my short-play list.

If NM & CJ works for you...have you had a listen to Bethany & Rufus 900 Miles? VERY nice.

There aren't any motel rooms or air conditioners involved in that recording, are there? I try to skip the recordings with "HVAC Technician" credited in the liner notes.

PS Seriously, thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

Marco,

Nothing in the background on 900 Miles other than silence. Great recording. Based on your other comments on music (I've picked up a few based on them) I'm guessing B&R maybe be a hit for you.

...and to get back on topic I need to check out Natalie.
