Pink Floyd

Despite the interesting debate that ensued from my posting of Apple's iTunes Remastering program I did download "Dark Side of the Moon" and played it for my always critical son, I asked him what he thought of the rendition (played via a BV8-32 centre speaker and two BeoLab 3s) and he said something like "I never realised how good this set-up was until you played some decent music"

Pink Floyd - Meddle right now, fits my mood. Actually my mood is more aligned with The Final Cut but I'm trying to avoid making it worse.

And I still have my Discwasher record brush and stylus cleaner, along with a Pickering brush with anti static bristles, soft, thin carbon impregnated or some such.

I gave my Record Doctor vacuum record cleaner to a friend who has a huge archival collection, but I have borrowing back rights when I need to do serious cleaning.

Listening to Miike Snow's song previews, Black Tin Box, Paddling Out (Jaques Lu Cont's remix) and Devil's Work (Alex Metric Remix). Cannot wait for this album to come out!!!

Oh I think so Rich - could swear I seen them NIB on eBay or at the TT doctor.

Eugene: do I see the old Discwasher stylus brush there? I bought one of those in about 1986 and gave it away when I got an RX 2 (with the black brush) four or five years later.

Do they still make that brush? I still have my D4 record brush from the 80's (still works like a charm) and a Discwasher branded Zerostat 3 anti-static gun. I bought that gun for $25 - they're $100 new today!

Something a little more current - testing one of the Beograms before I drop it off at the dance studio tomorrow.

A nite for 70's nostalgia apparently.

At my place, it's 70s nostalgia night every night.

Also mixing in my new Dessa, Empire of the Sun and some Clapton here before class on my Form 2s.

The Mysterious Flying Orchestra, a late 70's RCA jazz album, each track a different artist. Really good jazz tracks, and I'm listening to it on my just reinstalled and dialed in system, Beogram 3300, MMC2, phono preamps.com phono stage, Beosound 9000, and Beolab 8000's. Wonderful.

Just before this, Oxygene, by Jean Michel Jarre, ripped from CD on my music PC.

A nite for 70's nostalgia apparently.

Listening to some basic 80's Europop "Pet Shop Boys" on a Beogram 3000 I fixed Sunday. I still think that my BG3000, BM3000 and CDX setup is my most attractive.

Thanks for checking Rich, I'll just settle with the CD then

(and keep kicking myself that I didn't bother getting me a ticket when he was in Helsinki last summer for the first time ever - after cancelling numerous times over and over ever since the '80s)

tournedos:

You have 1999 on vinyl! Can you add any insight to this old thread?

I think what you describe for "Little Red Corvette" is there on the vinyl as well. I would speculate that Prince was recording at home to cassette and saturised the tape, a la Keith Richards' acoustic guitar parts in "Street Fighting Man," "Jumping Jack Flash," etc. Whether Prince intended to do that, as Richards did to get the sound he wanted, I won't further speculate.

Double posting here as well as the beta while partying like it's 1999.

Listening to some good old ELO
