Picked up these two in the week.......

Triosk - The Headlight Serenade
Well its nearly time for slumberland and just finishing off this fab album from 1991 SAIGON KICK by SAIGON KICK :-
Attachment 15283
Another great (and mostly unknown) band that was from a very short era (metal fusion) in music that was mixing metal, tribal and rock together and were strangely quite melodic in places :rock::guitar:
SUPERB !!!!!

Very (very) nice pressing on Columbia/Sony Legacy, so I take it it's from the States although I bought it in HMV Birmingham. Almost chillingly, starkly beautiful album.

Possibly the 'easiest' and most 'present' versions of these albums I've heard - I only really bought it to have the full 2LP version of Ella and Louis Again. I'm sure original/early vinyl will be special - but this is real nice stuff.

Bit of a niche listen this one but great. Heard a track on an advert and had to check it out.

Disc 2 live set...Flac
This is the best ive heard this recording sound. These speakers astound me at times.... 60 year old drivers and they sound way better than new stuff
Which speaks are you referring to, mate - the Fanes? Also, you mentioned on another thread that you had Tannoys, which ones are they? Don't fink I've seen any piccies...Quote:

Marco.
Yup. latter bit of the build from 103 to in the system in 105. tannoys are 637,s. the floorstanding trapezoidal type... not bad at all.. Brian has them at moment
Just had a wee glancette at your Gallery thread. They look great. Not surprised that they sound good too, as pretty much anything Telefunken do is superb! You can't beat the best of the oldies! ;)

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti..

The 1994 CD. Cranked. Really cranked. Well, loud for an old guy :)
Just got the hi-res downloads of the new John Mayall CD Find a Way to Care, which is out on September 4th on Forty Below Records. File I have been sent are 16/88 and sound pretty good. The record company say they will send the CD and vinyl when available, though the LP is coming out later. It is a really classic bit of Blues and a great return to his roots for JM, well worth a listen.

Flac file....marvelous album from one of the greatest ever
Bit of class this.

Freddie Hubbard Jazz Moods Hot
CD
The Yes Album - because I never really gave them the credit they deserved , 40 years ago , that I should have!!
In other words ,buying all their early albums because I was too busy with Deep Purple , Genesis
That's a very fine record Anto. I'd not listened to Yes much in the last 20 years. But after reading that Chris Squire had died recently I started listening again. I never liked Tales From a Topographic Ocean and anything following that, but much of the earlier stuff I'm finding is great. And yes, credit where it's due.Quote:
