Well one of my discs was a compilation of Blues tracks from varying artists across the 50s and 60s, not my cup of tea but interesting to listen to. Now it may be my modern ears or the original recordings of the day, but music from that era always seems a little distorted to me. Not in the same way as a badly produced modern recording, but in a 'this engineer has his VU meters set wrong' type of way. Maybe it was just the quality of the time, but very enjoyable nonetheless.
My other disc was completely and utterly right up my boulevard! A mixture of synth tracks all written (bar one) by a couple of keyboard players and recorded beautifully. Some really nice chill out tracks with crystal clear drums and nice fat strings and pads - perfect. It's been on most of the weekend.
I haven't tried the bass test disc yet to be honest, but I will retain it as a 'tool' (Howard's term) for when I critically listen at my next point of component purchase. Sounds very interesting and reading the inlay card seems like an excellent method for determining the difference in systems.
Anyway, thanks Howard for your kind generousity, very much appreciated.
