I still haven’t watched the film but have played the soundtrack a gazillion times since you posted it here - even my daughter is sick of it and she has a high pain threshold!Quote:

Finishing up my first 12" evening in a few years with this stone cold classic

What's it like then Alex? How does it compare with the original "Confessions..." album? (which I find a bit hit and miss).Quote:

Well, my last choice was, let's be kind, and say forgettable.

Love this and the LP in my previous post (listen to Deathbed Confession). Disclaimer: you probably won't :lol:
I have a few Jack Johnson CDs, but they are all earlier releases. The above look to be later outputs. :)Quote:

I posted one of her EPs a couple of weeks ago, this is her debut album released on Friday. It’s very good, not sure she had a USP though against so many other similarly gifted females artists (Olivia Dean, Laufey especially, and her voice is very much Adele in places, no bad thing I guess.) Will need a few more plays, and seeing her live next March so plenty of time.
Liking this so far.Quote:

New Speaker Day! well new to me anyway. They've spent two weeks in the back of my van while I agonised over what to do about the yet-to-be outgoing speakers and all the new oversize packaging. So that's 14 days of up and down the M6, over countless potholes, all the while they've had to share vanspace with all my tools. There's been a dark thought that's niggled at the back of my mind, whether or not they'll come out of this ordeal intact. I won't know until I get them unpacked. A bit like Schrodinger's cat.
I needn't have worried, they were fine. But I had a scary hour or two unboxing, assembling footers and spikes, and walking them into position.
Worth it? Definitely. More 'sparkle' at the top end, smoother mids, deeper but faster more tuneful bass. All the usual hifi cliches present and correct :) Better in all the key areas than the outgoing speakers, but I wouldn't say the difference is 'night and day', more night and dawn. I suppose that's how it is with diminishing returns.
And that's it for a few more years, my next 'upgrade' will probably be my listening room. And maybe a hearing aid.
Pleased that the new speakers are doing it for you Steve.Quote:

This has been a favourite of mine for years, but there is a particular sound on the first and last songs which almost ruined it for me. Well now, it's still present and still an irritating squawk, but not fingernails-down-blackboard bad. The last song (Horse Tears) is just beautiful, and no longer marred by that horrible artefact. Happy bunny :)

I would not have expected this to be your kind of thing. You're full of surprises :) Unless it came to you unsolicited, like Britannia Music Club used to do to me back in the 80s. What, you thought I bought them Phil Collins LPs on purpose?
Got it a few years back for a couple of quid. I only knew of them due to Noel Keywood using them as one of his test recordings although I think that was 'Ride A White Horse' which isn't on this album. But for £2 thought I'd give it a go.Quote:

That album art looks like it should mean something, but I can't for the life of me think what that might be.
