I've been listening to quite some stuff lately, going through the best rated albums of 2012 on Sputnikmusic and heard a couple I'm really digging I never heard last year, though it's mostly indie/rock/metal
 
 
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- 'Allelujah! Don't Bent! Ascend!

 
 
Japandroids- Celebration Rock

 
 
Passion Pit- Gossamer

 
Katatonia- Dead End Kings

 
Enslaved RIITIIR

 
Swans- The Seer

Right now, since I'm doing some hi-res audio experimentation, I decided to expand my Jazz horizon with a couple of albums from HD tracks:
 
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
 
Musically, they are all of course great in their own way and I much enjoy them, but the recent Dave Brubeck - Time Out one seems to have a lot of pop and crackle for a HD (re?)master. Can anybody confirm that with this particular edition? Haven't had any particular issue with 24/88.2 audio so far... And since the pop & crackle is all over place stereo-wise it does seem to be part of the recording. I don't mind vinyl/analog-style pop & crackle ...if I'm listening to vinyl.
 
Not entirely sure about this being the correct thread but didn't want to start a new one just to check this.

I haven't listened to this in a little while. Once I put it on, I can't imagine why I haven't. It's really and truly up there with his very best, and that's saying something for an artist with a track record like his.

I am trying so hard to hunt down the Analogue Productions 45rpm cut of Waltz for Debby mastered by Gray and Hoffman. Can't find one anywhere.

These three today. Trying to get back into the habit of listening to more jazz; it is easily my favorite genre after all. The version of "Page One" I listened to was the SACD released by Analogue Productions and mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman.

 
MT, please share your findings if fortunate.

I actually bought them both on vinyl (and picked up Gojira's 2012 release tonight). All good.

Thanks MT, I actually listened to the Enslaved and Katatonia records after checking some of the top lists on Let's talk metal, not disappointed one bit

 
Hope I can share them some day. I have the regular RIverside LP right now, but according to the DR Database the SH 45rpm cut is ever so slightly more dynamic...and a recording this good is worth seeking the absolute best.
