I think these two are very well produced and great sounding:   => CUL DE SAC - Crashes to Light Minutes to Its Fall   => THE ALBUM LEAF - One Day I'll Be on Time     Demetrio.

Quote:     Steely Dan's Aja has been available on SHM-CD for some time now.

Quote: Thank you for the advice. It may prevent myself to spend a lot of money for something not worth the price.   Demetrio.

A few other greats I can recall at the moment:   => 10cc - How Dare You & Deceptive Bends => GRATEFUL DEAD - Terrapin Station => BRYAN FERRY - Béte Noire, Boys and Girls & Mamouna (HDCD)   => JEFF BECK - Who Else   => GRYPHON - Treason   => MIKE KENEALLY - The Universe Will...

Skylab, you added another vote to Steely Dan's Aja, so it should have 3 votes now.

By the way, has anyone here checked the recent japanese SHM-CD reissue of this classic album? What's your impressions about it?   Demetrio.

I will play the game too:   [01] James Newton Howard & Friends - ST [XRCD] [01] Dave Grusin - Discovered Again Plus [XRCD] [01] Steve Khan & Rob Mounsey - You Are Here [01] Steely Dan - Aja [01] 10cc - How Dare You [01] The Apartments - A Life Full of Farewells [01] XTC - Nonsuch...

It is very hard to decide between about 15 great recordings that come to mind at the moment, but I think my top 3 today would be these:     THE APARTMENTS - A Life Full of Farewells   STEVE KHAN & ROB MOUNSEY - You Are Here   JAMES NEWTON HOWARD & FRIENDS - S/T [XRCD 24-bit]  ...

My favorite midia is the CD:   Total: 3000 physical CDs & 120 DVDs.   Demetrio.

Try these:   => PORCUPINE TREE   => DREDG   => THE NOTWIST   => OZRIC TENTACLES   => SECRET MACHINES

Try these:   - OZRIC TENTACLES   - AIR   - M83   - CUL DE SAC   - THE ALBUM LEAF     Demetrio.

Just found another great sounding CD in my collection:   => THE APARTMENTS - A Life Full of Farewells     Demetrio.

Any other fan of this great ambient musician over here? What are your favorite recordings? My favs are "Seven Veils" and "Propagation". They are not only musically brilliant IMO, they are on my list of some of the best sounding recordings I have ever heard too.   Demetrio.

"Lovers Rock" by SADE sounds pretty good to my ears too. My question is: which other CDs by Sade sound also that good? Remaster or original edition?   Demetrio.

Great call, thank you!!!   Track 3 (Dreaming Light) is just wonderful indeed.

Oops, forgot to mention these other greats:   DIRE STRAITS - Brothers in Arms (especially the XRCD edition)   STEELY DAN - Two Against Nature & Everything Must Go   DONALD FAGEN - Morph the Cat   PORCUPINE TREE - In Absentia   DREDG - El Cielo   BOZZIO LEVIN STEVENS - Black Light...

Thanks for sharing your preferences.   A few more in my list:   DEACON BLUE – Real Gone Kid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHTI31XuQxk   DEACON BLUE – Chocolate Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0f9RS5GwJU   O.M.D. - So In Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfgyXfOQSJE...

Quote:   I will second these great suggestions.   Some others I will add based on the original post:   PURE REASON REVOLUTION - The Dark Third   MOSTLY AUTUMN - Pass the Clock   GAZPACHO - Tick Tock   PINEAPPLE THIEF - 3000 Days   XTC - Nonsuch (24-bit Remaster)

Hi everybody,   What kind of music do you usually listen to when you are doing a trip, or stuck in a traffic jam, or simply going out in the night and you just need to get relaxed all the way?   These are some examples of songs I usually listen to while driving and think are very...

Well, these are some of the best sounding recordings I have ever heard:   HAROLD FARBERMAN - Grooving Classics [XRCD 24-bit] => Classical DADAVA - Sister Drum [XRCD 20-bit K2] => think of chinese/tibetan drums materializing right there in your room   HE XUN-TIAN - Paramita [XRCD - K2]...

Yes, that's the one. Demetrio.

would never imagine CD could ever sound that good till the day I listened to an XRCD some time ago. The XRCD in case was this: => THE SHEFFIELD LAB DRUM & TRACK DISC I was absolutely astonished as I listened to that disc and I just wanted to get more of that brilliant sounding stuff...

Quote: Originally Posted by Bryan T Lesser known, but Dredg's "El Cielo" is really well recorded. I will second this, great stuff indeed. And will also add these other great sounding rock recordings (all them are CD's): => STEELY DAN – Two Against Nature, Gaucho &...
