Boom Boom Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 It's about this time of year when I get around to playing this. I still have my original 1/2 speed mastered Japanese Press album from JVC. Haven't played this record in ages due to sheer laziness, Lol! I got the 4xDSD version, which on my system sounds wonderful. The French Christmas Carol is my favorite track. It still gives me goosebumps behind my arms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Boom Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) The first track always alluded me. I've always liked it, but didn't know the name of the song or the artist. When I discovered I wasn't surprised. I generally like music produced by Peter Gabriel. I have at least 2 other soundtracks that he made. Birdy I have on vinyl. This one's the Passion. Edited January 7, 2023 by Boom Boom Didn't realize the title of the album wasn't on the uploaded image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Ryuchi Sakamoto, a Japanese keyboardist / composer, died recently. One of his songs had eluded me. It's called Forbidden Colours, off the soundtrack of a movie called Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. David Bowie starred in the lead role. Sakomoto also starred in this, the nemesis to Bowie's character. I found it in this collection by David Sylvian who sang the vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkeske Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Just stumbled across this new release by The Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Fascinating stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsal Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Yep. I've enjoyed listening to these artists as well. I guess the Icelandic weather sure sets the tone for this type of musical exploration. Good suggestion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedman Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 For Stravinsky fans this recording is excellent. The Montreal symphony really shines and the performances are brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Gallup Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, Boom Boom said: To start a Sunday listening session: The image is the Palazzo Ducale (the Doge's Palace) in Venice. It's partly an art gallery now. I was there last summer and saw an amazing work by Anselm Kiefer that takes up most of an entire floor. Like the rest of Venice, pictures can't do it justice. To make this pertinent here, I'll quote John Ruskin as saying "Venice is frozen music." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 It's been quite a while since I've fired up my SOTA - Benz Rig, but have good reason to. I bought a new phono stage. I'll cover that in the Electronics and associated equipment section. Here's a picture of the SOTA in action. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Dido - No Angel in 200 gram vinyl I've always been in the camp of your sound is only as good as your source. When I resurrected the SOTA and replaced my Talisman Sapphire with its shattered stylus with my Benz Micro Series II Glider, audiophile/high end audio changed. I was exposed to power conditioning, upgrade power cables, new exotic interconnect and speaker cable designs, vibration control, and 200 gram vinyl records. These heavier discs brought out jet black backgrounds and all sorts of musical details. Yes, many are studio recordings and mixed, but the quiet background provided by the superior vinyl helped me realize what the recording engineers and musicians intended when they released these recordings. Always a thrill to listen to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
