That one was also scored on my CD Japan buy; I just hadn't given my thoughts on it yet. That said, upon my initial listen, true to the album cover, it kind has that film noir feel kind of vibe - the old black & white movies, where the characters would go to a night club and listen to some jazz musician playing some great music. This album kind of reminds me of that era... the old B&W films, which I'm also a fan of, having many B&W titles, including two of my favorites - Casablanca, and Citizen Kane.

One thing I don't like about the album is the abrupt ending many of the tracks seem the exhibit. Not sure what that's about. Anyway, I have the completes recordings which has 26 tracks. It's a nice CD, but nowhere near Porgy and Bess for me.

I get your point. At the end of the day though pretty much all I'm interested in are 'my' individual spontaneous reactions to whatever comes this way at any given moment and more often than not all it needs is a bunch of those or other little Haikus to let the magic happen naturally.

Some more polarizing schtuff spinning right now ...
(been zigzaggin' back and forth between Miles (almost chronologically), my regular latin/brazilian diet and an old favorite band of mine for the last couple days)

You were asking me what I thought of the 40th anniversary set of 'Bitches Brew', and I gave that a listen last night (haven't heard the live stuff yet); it's been awhile since I listened to the 'Complete Sessions' set as I've mostly been listening to it on MoFi or VMP audiophile vinyl, but I can tell you that the vinyl sounds to me a more expansive and open and less compressed than the CD.

Well, I'm not comparing the CD to viny as I no longer do vinyl.

My question is more about the mix as I think the mix on the 40th is different from the CDs I posted > here. Was wondering if you heard my perceived difference?

As for sound quality, I also think the 40th sounds less expansive than the Mo-Fi CD. And again, I can't speak on vinyl as that's no longer my thing.

That's perfectly fine, but also understand others also may not feel the same. That's the beauty of music... it touches us in personal ways.

Anyway, like you, I was giving "my" take on the album without meaning to dismiss outer views.

All good

Another big Jim Steinman production, like those Meatloaf albums; great stuff...
