First, Mappleshade people are techchies and they know how to tweak and make things sound very good (non-CD stuff I'm referring to...) I have owned a few of their CDs (not more than 4) and sound quality if phenomena (I won't comment on the material...) I got their little catalog in the mail booklet too for 4 for $40. It's a good deal but I found myself flipping the pages numerous of times but undecided to buy because I'm not sure I like their music repertoire.
Mapleshade records: Pick the best of
I'm interested in purchasing a few Mapleshade discs just to check them out. I'd like some pointers as to what discs i should shoot for. They currently have a "4 for $40" type of deal going on, so i need to find four discs to obtain that pricing.
For some background, i'm basically a "rocker" that also enjoys "dynamic" Classical pieces and soothing Chamber music. Some "foot stompin" Blues never bothered me and "swing" type Jazz can be fun too. I'm not much up on "experimental" type Jazz as it sounds like a big cacophony to me. Pipe organs do nothing for me and choral recordings are in the same boat.
Obviously, i'd like "good" recordings, but i'm more concerned with "good" music. After all, i'd rather kick back and listen to some good tunes with "pretty good" recordings rather than try to impress myself with a great recording of a mediocre performance ( Holt's Law ).
Any of you's wanna cough up some advice? Sean
