Hey Cornan,
Where have I been!?
Or perhaps I should say, "So much music, so little time!"
Thank you so much for introducing Jungle and D'Sound. I had no knowledge of these artists and my initial survey of their music has them marked as favorites already - especially D'Sound. Wow! The Carpenters gone R&B! Great musicianship in a very accessible style and very well recorded.
As for starting a new thread for Tidal recommendations, having started Songs that make us a bust a move!, with an invitation to all genres, it has been a lot of fun and from a selfish perspective, I've enjoyed all the new music to which I've been introduced.
I have a strong suspicion, however, that a lot of newcomers to the thread take one look and turn away, never to return, on finding insufficient representation for their personal tastes. In other words, I think the thread holds the greatest appeal to people who truly enjoy and can connect emotionally to a broad spectrum of genres - and I might be wrong, but I suspect such people represent a minority of listeners.
I've found that my journey into better audio gear has, without question, opened some doors for me in appreciating genres I never previously enjoyed. There is absolutely great musicianship to be discovered and enjoyed, as well as excellent mastering to be found in just about every genre, and having good gear actually makes unfamiliar genres more accessible.
By the way, about the only genres I cannot connect with are classical and opera (What's wrong with me?) and the darkest of gangsta rap and metal genres, where the lyrics are even darker than the music (What's wrong with them?)
But my main point here is that I strongly believe the most successful music recommendation threads are those that are genre-specific. Sad but true.
But to get back on topic, yet still on this sub-topic, let me add that Tidal HiFi has had a dramatic impact on my ability to explore new artists. I really don't have enough time to find and enjoy all the music that's out there.
Mike

It seems like there are at least a couple of people listnening to Al Green at this forum. If you have´nt heard of Jungle I suggest you check this out:

No trace of studio butchered sound here! Just pure joy!

I think a separate link with good sounding recordings in Tidal should be set up in Head-Fi for music lovers. I vote for Mike to get this going!If not I might do it myself despite limited time due to my kids. Love the concept though!
