In my defence it is usually pretty obvious - I’m no spring chicken either :grin:

Liberté - 2021 The Dobbie Brothers

They sound different?

No offense intended… In the past this has come up where there are some members who are visually challenged and have used software to read screens. Images can be challenging at times and in my case there are times I am unfamiliar with an artist and the album image just leaves me clueless.

It is no big deal… This is my favorite thread and have discovered lots of artists I had not listened to previously.

Vinyl. Second listen to this is an improvement on the first - this one might be grower, though I still don’t think the opening couple of songs are as strong as they could be…

None taken I can assure you. The image in this case was a bit gloomy!!

I am the same as you, I’ve discovered so many brilliant artists and albums on here and of course on Radio Paradise. Never too old to discover new music :+1:

Another CD that I haven’t played for far too long.

What is it about a Naim amp that makes music sound so damn good? Even fed by a 30 year old CD player.

Now Playing…

Jan Garbarek - Officium

Jan Garbarek (Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone) and The Hilliard Ensemble: David James (Countertenor), Rogers Covey-Crump (Tenor), John Potter (Tenor) and Gordon Jones (Baritone).

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this morning as I start up today’s exercise routine with Jan and the Hilliard Ensemble offering some relaxing background music, and they are sounding sublime!

Hi,
You previously suggested Horace Tapscott Live At The Libero vols 1&2, since then I think PP have reissued two Peoples Arkestra LP’s, Flight 17 & The Call. What’s your view on those and any idea what they used as mastering source?

Having a listen to flight 17 on Qobuz sounds like this is taken from vinyl, ticks n pops and all. Different image to the vinyl sleeve


:heart:

Dread, Pure Pleasure don’t put any of their albums on streaming services, so it will be a different source.

Both sound excellent.

Some great playing on this and underpinned by Dave Holland on bass. Great synergy!

Likewise. There are many artists and albums now in my favourites whom I would never have discovered without this thread.

Thanks, I really meant the two volumes of Live At The Libero vs the Peoples Arkestra Flight 17 and The Call. Do any of these particularly stand out over the others?
Thanks for the feedback :+1:

Jaimie Branch, Fly Or Die Live, sounding splendid on double vinyl.
