just got these like 3 minutes ago Pat Metheny Group- The Way Up John Abercrombie- Animato Alexis Weissenberg- Debussy Piano Works

Got these in a shop in Montreal: Tom petty- full moon fever the doors- Morrison hotel Matthew good band- beautiful midnight (Canadian)

Why is Heron's self-titled album so obscure? everyone should have an opportunity to hear this.

John Coltrane is god.

Tell me about it. I blame this forum mostly as well Same here really? 'cause i'm pretty sure nobody else on this forum would touch a cobra starship CD with anything other than a flamethrower.

PAT METHENY IS GOD AND BY PAT METHENY I MEAN PAT METHENY AND LYLE MAYS edit: lennon and mccartneys voices blended so well

Love Reign O'er Me is definitely the most powerful song ever.

PAT METHENY IS GOD AND BY PAT METHENY I MEAN PAT METHENY AND LYLE MAYS

Alina by Arvo Part is one of the most beautiful albums ever.

ok, Doves are amazing.

QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Oct 14 2009, 09:08 PM) Not that it matters; I need to listen to the music I have that I haven't yet listened to. According to iTunes, I've only listened to about a third of my library. So I guess I need to listen to one of my Aerosmith records, or Porcupine Tree's new one - which I STILL haven't listened to. really? even i've heard a larger fraction of my library than that.

QUOTE (*Limelight* @ Oct 2 2009, 03:35 PM) Yay for major Camel and Rush phase yeah that's a pretty major phase there. it's been going on what, 10 years and counting? since whenever you got out of your last matt good phase i guess. anyways, for a contribution to the thread: i realized today that my music taste is awesome. so, yar.

QUOTE (launchpad67a @ Oct 10 2009, 03:54 PM) FLAC files are exactly 1/3 smaller than WAV's (66%) not necessarily. file size is determined by bitrate, and while .wav's and other "true lossless" formats have a CBR of 1411 kbps (i believe...correct me if i'm wrong), i've seen FLAC files and other VBR lossless files vary anywhere from 500kbps to 1400kbps. it depends purely on the content of the file.

Why someone would rip a CD in anything other than lossless is beyond me. As for lossy downloads or transcodes, 320 or V0 mp3 is the ideal bitrate and format, and about the lowest i'm willing to go is V2 VBR or 192 CBR, unless it's something REALLY rare that I can only find a download of in an even lower bitrate. My absolute minimum, however, is 128, and even that sounds like utter shit.

Porcupine Tree- The Incident (been looking forward very much to hearing this without all that annoying clicking on the leak) and Jeff Buckley- Grace Around the World (3-disc edition)

QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Sep 28 2009, 03:27 PM) QUOTE (Xanadu93 @ Sep 22 2009, 05:38 PM)And, of course, my deluxe version of Paramore's brand new eyes comes out Tuesday. Got it! Actually, I think it arrived yesterday, but I thought it was something different. Anyways I'll probably listen to it tonight. what, you thought it was something actually worth listening to?

Return to Forever- Live at Montreux 2008 DVD Billy Joel- Live at Yankee Stadium DVD Elvis Costello and the Attractions- Punch the Clock Sting- Ten Summoners Tales (i've never actually heard of either of those last 2 CDs but they were $4.99 each used, and i enjoy other work by both artists, so i figured what the hell) Muse- The Resistance Freddie Hubbard- Red Clay also renewed my FYE backstage pass. in all, i spent way more than i should have. but i'm watching the RTF DVD right now, and so far it's damn well worth the money.

QUOTE (TheWater @ Sep 18 2009, 05:42 AM) Presto sounds dark to me... I dunno why, but it does. maybe cause Superconductor is the darkest song EVAR? anyways, the right answer is clearly Grace Under Pressure

I haven't caved yet, I am waiting until I get it this weekend. i enjoyed it. definitely better than their last album, and even when judged solely on its own it's a solid album.

LOOK OUT, HELTER SKELTEEER!!!

QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Sep 16 2009, 06:44 PM) I know this is a Miles Davis thread, but I take a certain pride that John Coltrane is from NC. Same can be said of Thelonious Monk who was born in my hometown. John Coltrane had the same birthday as me. i find that to be pretty cool
