A community discussing turntables, vinyl and the art of listening to high-fidelity music on spinning platters.
Especially egregious since it doesn't even have the song Blue Monk on this album.
Aside from that, the album is absolutely divine. Thelonious and Charlie Rouse are on another level entirely on this session.
ngl, I was a big fan of the album already, but this purchase was inspired by the trailer for A Minecraft Movie.
I recently treated myself to this: a repress of one of my favourite albums. Having it with large, expanded artwork is amazing.
Rush is definitely on my top 5 favorite rocks bands, and definitely my favorite Prog band. To me, Permanent Waves is their most rounded "traditional" album. Moving Pictures is good, but it runs into the MGMT effect where it gets you with all the best songs off the bat, leaving a comparatively boring B-side. And 2112 is just an entirely different beast that can't be discussed alongside their "traditional" albums. It could also be my biases as Spirit of the Radio and Freewill are my favorite Rush singles.
This is a 2015 reprint, although I did scoop up an original a few months ago. Honestly i don't notice much difference between the two. 180g vinyls really are solid records so long as they are mastered and pressed well.
Just picked this up along with the Nai Palm solo record. Maybe my favorite current band.
Another chill weekend listen: Fossils, "Flesh hammer" (2014)
I finally got this album on vinyl. It's one of my favourites, and I'm so pleased I managed to pick up the red and black marbled pressing.
Similar to the Way Of The Sun i posted a few months back, this experimental jazz/prog fusion explores being adrift in the ocean. Swirling riffs, deep and enveloping whale calls, and even the crying if gulls and other seabirds are prevalent.
2014s A world lit only by fire re-imagined through noisy dub. I’ve been on quite a Godflesh binge lately. They’re wonderful. ❤️
