Has anyone heard or bought any of the recordings in the Maple Shade catalog. I have never heard of any of the artists and was wondering if anyone had opinions to share.
They are exceptionally clean. However, I find that too many of the artists are unknown. Also, Mapleshade's recordings tend to be extremely clean, almost sterile. It's worth buying a couple to check out.
Here's my take. Why would anyone want to buy blah music from Mapleshade (or any other label) for the sole virtue of "great SOUND" when there is so much great MUSIC out there by great ARTISTS which may not be recorded as well? Masturbating to " quality of sound" is not what music is about.
Mapleshade Music Festival.Have to agree with Lindisfarne.The recording is great,but by the time a few tracks have past>>on to something different.Festival is a good ,cheap exposure,or a compilation.
I agree with lindisfarne. I have a couple of their CD's and while they are technically impeccable I think there is a reason no one has ever heard of any of these artists. Not that they are bad artistically but it is just that there are other artists out there who are much better.
I would rather listen to an OK recording of a great artist than a great recording of an OK artist.
