Some of my favourite material from Kaskade.
 

Love the vocals, especially at the 1:07 mark!
 
This entire album by him called "Strobelite Seduction" which is setup in a playlist format. Some of the best vocal talent on this album. This one is 5/5 from me. Just press play and do whatever you need to...

 
It's impossible not to love the vocals in this song!!!! (From the album above).

 
 
Another solid track with great vocals (with music video):

 
 
The guitars and vocals just make me melt:

 
 
Male vocals for a change:

 
All of the tracks are also on Spotify. Far better quality for previewing than youtube.

Last post for the night.
 
'Late Night Alumni' - literally their entire discography. Their group has Becky Jean Williams whose vocals are top 10 in my list. Really good composition and musicality. The tracks and composition is also top notch as a recording. I use a few tracks from them as reference when testing out gear. HIGHLY recommended in hearing this in the highest quality from the first listen.
 
Here's one of their early album in a playlist format:
 

 
 
Another album:
 

The 3rd track 'Empty Streets' is one of my fav and what got me into them. Perfect for driving late at night.

Yes they are different. The Beatles them self were present at the mono mixes but left the stereo mix to the staff as they did not find that too important.

  Is the difference of the mono mixes really that big?

 
 

 
 
Well xmas is coming I guess I will get the CD box.

I just listened to Pat Metheny Groups' multiple-Grammy-winning Imaginary Day (88.2k/24). Twice.  
 
It is stupid good on the LCD-4. Nothing less than astonishing. Do not miss.

They have blocked the video's but I believe this one is from that recording. Very good indeed. Thanks for reminding me Moobster !

It may not be the first time mentioned but there is an album called "Ella and Louis" from 1956 that is well recorded, one of my faves to just listen to, or for demonstration purposes. It's light jazz and popular vocals as far as genre. Great line up too, featuring Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, and Buddy Rich with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong on vocals. It's worth a listen and has been re-released several times and is available in High Def. formats. pS

Of the albums/downloads above, the only one I do not agree with is the Layla album, or at least the version that I have heard. The rest are all highly recommended.

 

[Mifi]

what I mean is that the new mix of Layla that I heard was way too clinical, not true to downhome blues atmosphere of the original LP.

good reviews too;

 The Torn album and Carmen Gomes has received white spread critical acclaim:

Her warm, enormously talented and controlled voice is completely unique and she knows how to get pure emotion across to the listener ...
The sound of the album is exemplary with dynamics of an addictive quality......the drums are practically visual and one feels as if one could reach out and and actually touch the singer.

Eric de Boer - Hifi.nl

Gomes Sings "You better come on into my kitchen, 'cause it's going to be raining outdoors" and what a wondrous musical kitchen she possesses.
The utensils are the thoughtfully played musical notes. The chef is Carmen herself, serving a dream-like melodic delicacy. We at Adore Jazz, play the music from Gomes' new CD "Torn" with great joy.

This oldie has depth and space and deep well recorded upright bass;

I agree that the Montgomery Brothers sound very good. Those early stereo albums sounded way better than the '60 and '70.
