@esputnix - regarding your statement
Mainly older recordings, many of them with clicks and pops, that fade into oblivion once the music starts. They are mainly tracks that centers around a vocalist(s) that have ethereal qualities supported by superb musicianship, all captured by sound engineers that really know their craft, to bring you a very life like representation of what was being recorded. Artists like:
There is a simplicity and rawness about their music that makes me return to them again and again and the harmonies of Jethro Tull and Steeleye Span are inspiring - many modern artists could learn from them Few artists today have that same impact - perhaps Ed Sheeran is about as close as it gets. There is one Diana Krall album that brings her into my listening space, complete with piano. It's amazing what a good system and a glass of Single Malt can do :-) These are the artists that I return to over and over, because they make their music interesting each time I listen. I'm sure there are many others. Regards - Steve
