Phil Collins - Face Value (now 40 years old).
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

Free Life by Dan Wilson. Dan is a singer/songwriter, but not in the 1970's sense. He has had a number of his songs recorded by others (including The Dixie Chicks, from whom I learned of him), often becoming hit records. I understand he is also a member of Semisonic---whom I now have to check out, and earlier was in Trip Shakespeare. The album starts of meekly---a mid-tempo song sung by Dan, not a great singer. But by the end of the song, it has grown (via excellent production) into a majestic powerhouse! Great chord progressions---with an actual bridge, an endangered song element---vocal harmonies, guitar power chords, etc. Not a bad song on the album, all B's or better. I found a Mint- copy on Amazon for $2.79 plus 3.99 shipping. Sorry @slaw and @tomic601, the album has never been available on LP. ;-) |
+1 Played my 1983 Virgin West German CDV2185 uncompressed version last night, your right, an amazingly recorded album for being so old. http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/75650 http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Phil+Collins&album=Face+Value And if anyone wants this best version, there's just 3 for sale https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=CDV2185&_sacat=0... Goes to show, the saying "perfect sound forever" for CD 20 years ago, was a true statement, just back then no replay equipment could get that perfection out of them, till just in the last few years.
