Picked this up in a charity shop without realising it was a DVD. Only realised when my CD player displayed "No Disc" when I loaded it.
So I had to listen to it via my TV DVD player (a Sony machine) with Quad 520 power amplifier and B&W DM2 speakers.
Sounded pretty good, despite the techno-bollocks of: 96kHz sampling and producing a 24 bit digital word, allowing a dynamic range of 144dB.
I think I'll seek out a 'standard' CD version.

I used to make cassettes of stuff recorded off the radio, such as "Late Junction" on Radio 3. Probably have about 100 TDK metal tapes lurking in the loft, and despite having a couple of Nakamichi tape decks, haven't played any cassettes for at least ten years. :doh:
It is indeed. I have a small (~50) tape collection, which I visit about once a year I reckon.Quote:

Re NME/Strange Fruit Peel sessions.
I used to collect the NME cassettes. Think I've got about 30 of them. Several were important snapshots of their time, such as 'C86' which covered a wide range of independent label guitar bands in the wake of The Smiths eg Primal Scream, Shop Assistants etc.
Ah, of course. I sort of had that pixilated pattern in my mind but could not think where I had seen it. Thanks. :)Quote:

Decent album, not played it for a whileQuote:

Well, if we're talking classic albums from 1991, this one has to be next...
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...kBlueLines.jpg
Have to stick with 1991 now, thinking back to when I was 22 - young, dumb, and full of... youthful exuberance! 1991 was actually an epic year for music, I don't think there's enough evening left to fully do it justice, but this one has to be included, surely...?

Three cracking albums there Alex :thumbsup:
Cheers Steve. A slight change of style, but still sticking with 1991... :)

A more chilled '91 album to end the session - the heavier stuff will have to wait 'til tomorrow!

That's more my thing. :)Quote:

Finished with 1991 for now, so something fun for a Monday morning!

Did some good songs, Hall and Oates. I got one of their 'best ofs' recently, not that one though.
Not played this for a while.

CBAT is my favourite Steely Dan album. It has personality whereas after that I feel that the sophistication and perfectionism make them too sterile. Dirty Work is understatedly great.
Now then, we all know criticising Steely Dan is off limits on this site.Quote:

Latin Quarter - Modern Times (1985)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...dern_times.jpg
This came out when I had my LP12, which played 33rpm only. So no 45rpm singles. I really liked "Radio Africa", so I went out and bought the album. Never really got on with the rest of it. Maybe I should give it a spin, it's been a while, maybe I've grown into it.Quote:
