Futtocks Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional. By the way, all the Triffids' albums have been reissued at bargain prices, but with lots of extra tracks, remastered sound and very nice packaging. The album above had 9 extra songs and a 40-page booklet of photos and songwriting/recording notes.

WearyRhino Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Cassandra Wilson - Traveling Miles. Songs inspired by and/or based on the music of Miles Davis, delivered by a stunning voice. Get on Spotify/Grooveshark/Last.fm/whatever and just check out track 1 for an example - wow! I love Cassandra Wilson and Dianne Reeves. The modern day Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald.

Bedford Roughyed Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 PJ Harvey - Let England Shake Its getting rave reviews, after 1 listen I can see why. Raw, powerful, vunerable...might not be everyones cup of tea but its good! With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Are you happy with the results? Never tried it myself. Do you lose any of the life out of the music ? I'm not getting rid of the vinyl, but the convenience of having a mouse-click away is useful. The resultand sound quality is actually pretty good. It's all down to making sure you get the basics right; those plastic USB turntables you see advertised will just give you a recording of an LP being played badly. My recording chain is as follows: It starts with a NAD 533 (essentially a re-badged Rega) with a Rega Elys 2 cartridge. Support is a multi-layer gel/granite/sandbag setup I cludged together, which gives good isolation from footfall. This is connected to a Terratec iVinyl USB phono stage, which converts from analogue to digital. Software for recording is either TotalRecorder or Audacity. I do fine editing and track splitting with the latter. Files are then encoded as lossless WMA, never in a lossy format. There is a website I know of where a guy with a serious rig is digitising vinyl and those are amazing - where I have a recording to compare in any format, his rips just blow my versions out of the water. I was listening to his rip of 'Bitches Brew' last night and it sounded scarily real.

tonyXIII Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I've just finished reading Neil Munro's biography of John Martyn, so I just had to go to Amazon and download "Solid Air". I first heard this album about 40 years ago when my brother bought it, but I never got round to buying it. Now I have, I'll be listening to it for a while. It is a beautiful album, written and played by a genius. I also added Martyn's "One World" to the download and, for good measure, Dr John's "The Sun, Moon and Herbs". I guess these will get played, too, but I'll mostly be "living on Solid Air" for the next week or so.
