    Modern/contemporary jazz recommendations with electronic sounds?

    Another vote for Jaga Jazzist.  Also I have been enamored by The Claudia Quintet and Kneebody,  both bands flexing some progressive muscle.

    relaxed, warm, laid-back cdp under 2k

    I was at Primus Audio a couple weeks ago and they had a Simaudio player for around $2k that sounded good to my relaxed preferences. I think it was the Equinox. I would love to hear the Raysonic 128.

    Now that Tower is gone, where do you buy your music?

    Go indie, support local businesses. I use Real Records and The Record Collector, both in Iowa City. At Real they usually can order whatever you want and have it in within a couple of days.

    Pitchfork's and Cokemachineglow's Top 50 Albums of 2006

    I dont get to CMG much and maybe should because one of the major flaws with the Pitchfork list is the lack of Subtel's album... which made numero uno at CMG. However both sites number ones are very good.

    ISIS Appreciaton Thread

    Fortunately voices rarely impede my musical enjoyment. Blood Brothers, ISIS, Converge... all good. As far as ISIS goes they friggin rock. The new album is a bit calculated with less emotion than Panapticon or Oceanic imo (havnt heard their older stuff yet). But still great. Cant wait to see...

    Equinox cable is giddy good

    Well the Equinox is worth the price of admission and the long wait. Fantastic balance, resolution and construction. I only have the stock cable for comparison and there is no contest. The stock cable chokes off the sound big time versus the Equinox. Burn in time was about 125 hours.

    What is a good first Car?

    Accord or Civic for good mpg and low maintenance. Accord has more power, Civic gets better gas mileage.

    another recommendation let down: sigur ros

    I can enjoy Sigur Ros late at night, its great music to go mind drifting. I have 700+ cds and its Sigur Ros my girlfriend talks about wanting to send to her friends/family.

    Another vote for Jaga Jazzist. Lars Horntveth has put out a solo album recently that is very good as well.

    help to pick speakers and reciever for $250

    I am happy with my vintage Sansui receiver I picked up an ebay a couple of years ago for around $50. I use it to power Athena AS-F2s. These speakers are out of your price range, but they do have some bookshelves that are ok. BestBuy carries them. There are lots of vintage Sansuis to be had for...

    Anybody working on a top 10 yet?

    Quote: All, What I am not understanding is all the accolades for Arcade Fire. I have heard so much positive I bought the CD and since I was travelling all week I used the immersion method and basically listened on my ipod every chance I had Well it's Friday and if I never heard it again...

    Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

    Since jazz and electronica are being mentioned in the same thread I would like to make mention of the band Jaga Jazzist. They have a couple LPs out that are very good. 70% jazz 30% low fi sampling/electronics.

    Best Modern Shoegazing

    No I havnt heard of Centaur... I will have to check em out, thanks for the tip Masonjar. Just read what AMG had to say in the bio and discography. Some pretty big words: "...Downward Is Heavenward isn't merely the group's best album, but a lost classic of '90s rock, period." "...as Downward Is...

    Best Modern Shoegazing

    Hum: Downward is Heavenward and You'd prefer and Astronaut 2 of my favorite rock discs. Too bad Hum didnt stick around longer to give us some more.

    Music made for headphones

    Hood and Mum sound fantastic on the cans. However the new M83 to me sounds better on speakers.... too much forward haze for headphones.

    New Source needed (under $1K)

    Good pick Gopher, that would be my choice as well, the JD 100. I really like my nOrh CD1 (a tube CD player like the Jolida), it seems to give CDs a more organic/natural quality. Plus you can tweak the sound via tuberolling. I hope you post your experiences with the JD 100. I for one am very...

    Riceburners (Toyota, Honda, Mazda)

    I like the rice, especially in stealth mode. My dream ride would be a mid 90s Civic Hatch with a Prelude (VTEC) engine swap. Strip the pee out of it (get it to ~2200 lbs)and you would surprise alot of people.

    DJ Shadow new album?

    Private Press is great, a more dynamic, dance, big beat flavor than Endtroducing. If I had to choose one, it would be Endtroducing, but both are thumbs way up.
