Im looking into actually buying a couple CD's for a change instead of just jacking it off limewire. I was wondering if there are any Tool, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Nine inch Nails, or The Doors Albums that show off the use of gapless playback. I heard that Tool, NiN, and Pink Floyd all have albums where they have one song morph into another and i really want to buy an album that will do that.

Also where is the best/cheapest place to buy albums? I dont mind if its online or in-store

Every Pink Floyd album I've listened to uses gapless, it's essential to really appreciating it

And for Tool, Lateralus is the biggie to have with gapless, but Ænima could use some gapless lovin' too

Sometimes only parts and sections of PF albums have gapless playback. I like to think of PF as more "movements" most of the time. You'll find that on many of their earlier albums there was no such thing as gapless playback. I believe that started on Ummagumma -- 1969.. good year

For Pink Floyd:

Obscured By Clouds
Ummagumma
Animals
Dark Side of the Moon
The Wall
Atom Heart Mother

All have gapless playback somewhere or another

Tool's Salival CD has a few gapless tracks. Good luck trying to get that for a good price though.

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile is pretty gapless.....though I am not a fan of that cd.

Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here are your best bets IMO.

Just pick up Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" gapless or not, it is a great album.

I had the luck of listening to it on my dad's Hi-Fi vinyl original setup many times. mmmm I wish I had that same setup.

Those are all good bands and you'd be hard pressed to find a bad album between them.

If you guys have any other "gapless" album suggestions i would be more than happy to see what they are. Im pretty open minded about what i listen to except pop, rap, and flat out hard core southern country. everything else is pretty much open season.

If your ever in the mood for beautiful, "classic" techno, check out Orbital Insides. Some cool gapless in that one.

Some other albums...
Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything
Todd Rundgren - A Wizard a True Star
Yes - Fragile

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut - another gapless goodie

 

[Thaddy]

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

 

[gordolindsay]

Along with the Pink Floyd theme, Roger Waters solo albums are all gapless on everytrack. Amused to Death, The Pros and Cons of Htchhiking, and Radio K.A.O.S.

Amused to Death is the best out of the three. Alot like the Final Cut album from Pink Floyd

Thanks a lot guys, i've been chewing on what you guys have suggested and i went with Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon. Mostly because i have it on vinyl and i really love that record. Next on my hit list of bands to support is either Tool or NiN. Anyone have any opinions on whether to buy Lateralus or Anemia? i dont need gapless i just want to know which one you guys think is better.

If you are interested in a list of gapless albums, this is one that is being compiled at riovolution.com.

It's just what people have listed in this thread, though.

A cheap place to get albums is this thing done by bmg , where you get one album a month for $6 including shipping, no yearly fees or anything else to deal with. The only downside is that they don't have the best selection. It's a great deal if you can find albums you like. I'm seriously considering signing up for it.
