Incense - Approx. 45 min.

A dutch post rock band, one of my most treasured albums..
 
L'Estravagante - Dietrich Buxtehude - Sonatas Op.1

Maybe too close miked.
There is not a wind instrument, the musicians' respiration is heard after all.

I don't know, which one are sighing continuously, maybe the violinist.

They could have waited for it possibly while he recovers from the cold.:)

I see my old item justified again, that after the musicians the sound engineer and its devices (here at ECM) are responsible for the sound quality primarily:

John Surman & Jack DeJohnette - The Amazing Adventures Of Simon Simon:
Part I - Nestor's Saga (The Tale Of The Ancient)

This is a real audiophile nirvana.

Recorded January 1981 at "Talent Studio", Oslo and released on Vinyl LP with same cat # in 1981.

It's an almost 30 year old recordings.
The sound recording technique (knowledge) did not develop since then only backwards?
