Quite interesting to hear how they didn't worry about removing all the extraneous noises back then, the technology just made such luxuries completely out of the question - constant noises of stands being knocked, or feet shifting, stage bits and pieces bumped - in the quiet moments there is quite a cacophany of such sounds !! 😉Schwarzkopf Sings Pamina in Der Zauberflote, von Karajan - on the PC, from 78s in '53. Quite a bit of 78 rotational bad patch "distortion" at the beginning, but they haven't tried to fix it - which is a good thing! Nice sense of air, depth - crescendos not too bad ...
David Bowie - Reality, on the PC ... good PRaT, if you're into that sort of thing, 🙂. These days one can have so much fun in the studio, playing with sound textures any which way one wants, building quite facinating musical structures - this is a good example of this ...
Getting daring now, 🙂 - from the library, "NOW The Hits of Spring 2011" - starting with Adele, Rolling in the Deep, 😉 - still on the PC ...
Not bad so far ... 😛

Listening to my Billy Joel Record 🙂
Current song: Still rock and roll to me
I recently got Billy's "Greatest Hits Volume 1&2 "
It's a two CD set.
Actually, the CDs sound very good with an excellent CD mastering.
It's amazing how many great songs he wrote and recorded.🙂

Kahil El' Zabar & Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, "The Continuum" on Delmark. El Zabar works magic on hand percussion and thumb piano, with Joseph Bowie on trombone, Ernie Dawkins on reeds, and Harold Murray also on percussion. El' Zabar always delivers...

Durutti Column, "The Guitar and Other Machines", shimmering vignettes for guitar and drum machine. Vini Reilly is sorely overlooked as an artist. 21st century technology makes it very easy to rectify that oversight (hint).
