My playing habits vary and when I go through a stint of wfh a few days at a time, I do rotate through quite a few albums, start to finish, playing in background, with occasional pauses in the ‘w’ bit. Of course I can and do stream pretty much anything, but where’s the fun in that..?
I couldn’t agree with you more. Standard red book CD is capable of incredible sound quality if the mastering is done properly. I have some CDs mastered Bob Ludwig that sound amazing, he seems to really understand the format and how to get the best sound from it.
A couple of CD’s this week, Jimmy Smith The Cat UHQCD from Japan, 1964 recording that sounds fantastic, great music and a cd called The Richest Man In Babylon by Thievery Corporation from 2002 just reissued, a electronics base sounds with loads of influences from reggae, jazz, Indian music well worth a listen.
Some ‘fun’ here. I’m feeling smug as I have Bridge 1 and to get the other four of the five appeals to my rather daft collectors instinct etc. I am listening to the Howell Missa and it is challenging but rather fine. It is incredibly complex and has a very limited number of themes to take you through it but it will be listened to again.
Just arrived yesterday 3 Sting Expanded Japanese shm cd, originally only available as downloads now as cds exclusively 2 or 3 disc versions in Japan at the moment, downside some of the extra songs are repeated several times, hears a picture of one of them.
