+1 on Charles Mingus “ah Um”…
seeking recommendations for melodic , ear pleasing, and musical sounding LP's?
I have been having trouble finding LPs that sound musical
I listen to all kinds of music and am seeking harmonious and melodic tracks
The whole LP need not need have this, just a track of two is fine on a decent pressing that can still sound good on higher end resolving systems
As an example, the Eva Cassidy Songbird Album has this for me with a few tracks
thanks in advance

Dire Straits second album is, to my mind, superior musically. Not yet over-complicated and overproduced, with superb attention to sound. They still sound like band. Steely Dan's Aja sounds good, Gaucho sounds good but bright, but when they got to Two Against Nature & Everything Must Go they really accomplished both clarity and relaxed musicality. Same is true with Kamakiriad, Morph, and Sunken Condos. A lot of people remember Gaucho and Nightfly as playing nearly continuously as audio showstoppers. IMO, as of today, they're far inferior to the later albums, sonically. |
here are some quality pressing |
If I guessed part of your system you will want to avoid hot recordings and focus on ones that are tonally deep and warm... with music that is very... up tempo (?). I'm thinking swing might be really compelling for you. Sinatra at the Sands – Frank Sinatra Anita Sings the Most – Anita O'Day Cafe Blue – Patricia Barber - Tracks: Ode to Billy Joe, Nardis Famous Blue Raincoat – Jennifer Warnes |
