Enjoying the vinyl version of this classic Tull album on my new turntable:
 

 
It's from 1972-purchased at a local used record store-and has a few pops and crackles so I need to give it another thorough cleaning but the sound is pretty good!

How does the SACD sound?
I just bought the SACD "Making Movies," which should arrive soon, "Brothers In Arms" maybe my favorite SACD, not only sounds great but has extended cuts on it.


Killer. It's one of my "new gear audition discs". I never get tired of it. I just ordered Communique from CDJapan after listening to this, deciding I need more.

Nice... I have that album from the 70s. I really, really need to get off my butt and setup a turntable - I have all these old LPs in boxes, waiting to be reborn.

These albums both have a song each that just blow my mind. Things I've never heard before in music. I don't really quite know how to classify this. It sounds based in jazz and has some other kinds of elements but also incorporates good songwriting.

Tony Grey - Freedom Jazz Dance ft. David Fiuczynski

Paul Simon's Graceland has to be in the top 500 albums of all time? It gets better and better with each listening.

Also getting a bit of rotation on my transport is the accomplished Suzanne Vega 99.9 Degrees Fahrenheit album. There's loads of great stuff in this vocally. The arrangements are great too, with all sorts of mentalness and percussion treats jammed into the recording. Overall I think its a highly underrated album.

Misery in Soliloquy is now free on Bandcamp, marking the end Symbion Project's transition to making all of his music there name-your-price. This is a lot of people's favorite Symbion Project release to date, but I had much trouble with it when it initially came out. The first album released after Kasson's departure from Freezepop, Misery in Soliloquy was a considerably more personal record than the prior Symbion Project albums. It might've been only until the [Exposed] version of this album was released, sans vocals and drums, that I gained proper respect for it, even though to this day I think I still prefer the [Exposed] version to the original, personally. [Exposed] revealed the genius of the original, and that is why I revere it so.
 
To this day it's difficult to get over how amazing Beyond Orion's Arm is.

As reference, here is the [Exposed] version of the opening track. Note how drastically different the overall mood and feel of the track is.
