Agreed, we've got a few albums as my wife was in to them back in the day. I've been listening to his nine horses stuff lately and been meaning to pull the old Japan stuff out for a listen....Quote:

Some 80's arena rock, think U2/Simple Minds and you have the sound of this Belfast based band, they are actually quite good. Some of the songs remind me of Midnight Oil.

Vangelis: Blade Runner. 2013 ltd and numbered red vinyl
https://img.discogs.com/gMW0rT04xh9-...-4773.jpeg.jpg
Today I have been mostly...
Spinning vinyl converting to digital into the Dac.
Not really had a play with it up till now really... 24/96 is what’s recommended, but outputing it to the Dac at double rate DSD is hitting the sweet spot.
(Can see the readout on the Dacs display what signal it’s being fed.)
i2s to the Dac sounds great compared to the direct XLR analogue output to the preamp, just as good but a slightly different presentation.
Continuing the Zep-A-Thon, not listened to these all the way through in years, good fun.

Top Notch!
Have the red vinyl LP too, the remaster sounds fantastic.

I'm also a sucker for any of the Morricone spaghettis.
Hateful Eight is a great soundtrack, showing that Morricone still had the Magic.
Blade Runners one of my favourites too, Movie and particularly the soundtrack.
Seen the movie last year at the Albert Hall, live orchestra played the soundtrack, was an awesome experience.
Have another booked for this October (John Williams Superman), not sure how likely that’s gonna be now. :(
Grant (Struth) loves his Morricone as well.
The Albert Hall sounds awesome but sadly it wouldn't be for me purely because I refuse full stop to go to London for anything. can't handle being blatantly ripped off just for the "pleasure"Quote:

And now for something completely differen, and I mean that......................................
This came along with another record as packers withe side of 3 records I had purchased from a dealer in Holland. Presumably this and the other one were considered throw aways. It is actually in very good condition and I thought I would give it a whirl, strangely enough I actually recognise some of the track from somewhere, I think they must have been played on the radio in my youth. There is even a thigh slapping song.:eyebrows: How he did that when playing the accordion I have no idea.
It is actually quite interesting to hear how it sounds on my system.
