Thanks for the recommendation brucek.

Always nice to find a new artist to listen to.

Another U.K. great that has been around for many years is Bert Jansch.

He's considered one of the all time guitar playing greats - you can't mistake his playing and singing style.
One of my all time favourite songs is BlackWaterSide (which by the way was to become Jimmy Pages "Black Mountain Side" on Led Zeppelins first record.

Since his first record in 1965 he has made about 50 albums and happens to have a new one comng out next week. His songs are often used by other artists and has been recorded by Dylan, Donavan and Neil Young. Very prolific, yet not many know his name.

I really like his early stuff which can be had on the 1980 Best of Bert Jansch. Listen to BlackWaterSide and see if you recognize it...... (led zeppelin version here)

Anyone heard of this guy?

**eddthompson** · **09-14-06, 10:27 AM**

totaly inspired by bruce's post i dug out my bert jansch, gave the lps a gooood clean on my vacuum record cleaner, put them back into brand new antistatic sleeves. so now we have on:

and :

both original pressings purchased by my parents in the late 60s (im only 24!) full of hiss, crackle and popple, but a bloody good listen regardless, berts guitar work realy is excellent.

That's probably about when I would have purchased them too. I've since thrown out all my old records and changer (which I now of course regret), and have replaced anything I really liked with CD's....

with your system i command you order a deck!!! i mean with so many options available in america like sota, vpi, and good old ebay there is no excuse not to have some form of vinyl playback

then get ordering http://store.acousticsounds.com/?key...coustic_sounds

Its not so much im one of these vinyl is better than cd types, far from it, lps are just another avenue to explore and enjoy, i dont find them any more hassle than cds and i enjoy them more.

on now :

well produced album with some briliant bass (new sub, on a bass trip) especialy track 3, the gravey train.

hehe, I'm afraid I'm tapped now that I just spent $2K to upgrade my bryston SP1 processor to an SP2....... yikes

**eddthompson** · **09-14-06, 12:52 PM**

id wager 2k on a vinyl front end may have brought more of an upgrade/pleasure

though many try vinyl and dont get on with it, i just enjoy my vinyl so much i think everyone should, its like preaching home theatre to the chap who goes into walmart and buys there $29 dvd player.

(trying to keep on topic

) on now:

Daft Punk, human after all. what better to run your sub in? track 2 seems to hit the resonant frequency of the picture frams dotted about the room.

Yeah that's a problem. (still off track here )... I used REW as a signal generator and moved through all the lower frequencies finding what rattled and mostly corrected all them - picture frames, closet doors, fireplace screens, etc....

My Philips CRT TV rattles like a bucket of bolts.
Fortunately I'm deaf to such things when the bass is so LOUD!

**eddthompson** · **09-15-06, 12:03 PM**

ive solved most of the rattles, not something i notice with the mains on, but with just the sub you can hear them.

on now:

more bass tripping, im not usualy one for greatest hits albums, but this is good for some spleen liquidation, i especialy like africa shox.

Mike Oldfield's "Amarok" CD 1990

Not your usual MO variations on an echo.

Young Mr Oldfield's attempt to shock!

With a twist of humour dabbed in fizzy sherbert.

Possibly the nearest MO comes to musical anarchy.

Still, intensely musical reflections irregularly punctuated with a playful riot of exuberant virtuosity.

Great fun!

You do have a way with words Chrisbee......

OK, back to contemporary non-traditional american folk.

I really like Karen Savoca.

In fact I'm listening to her right this minute.

I'm listening to the album Here We Go. Have a listen.

Wow, she's great. Intoxicating really.

**brucek** · **09-15-06, 03:40 PM**

Yeah, I was just listening to her new one here called In The Dirt. They let you hear all ten songs. I may have to get it......

4.1 dvd audio, boy its good, i mean realy good, realy realy good.

**Chrisbee** · **09-17-06, 05:01 AM**

Since we are now delving into musical archeology...

This was once my favourite album. I literally wore my vinyl copy out on my Linn/Naim/Kans system bcause I played it so often.

The CD isn't a patch on the vinyl. No emotion whatsoever. No rhythm. Not even musical. Just hifi. Thank goodness it's just finished.

**eddthompson** · **09-18-06, 07:46 PM**

on now:

i love sonny rollins, if his name is on an lp i try and buy it, not so keen on the later electric piano stuff though. this lp has the most amazing sax solo totaly unaccompanied, sounds great, and what a performance.

this album was all of $10 on ojc vinyl, it sounds simpy stunning (especialy thanks to this forum with the bfd the bass is sublime, you can pick out every note). a supremely natural recording, a simple soundstage but very realistic, if you have a deck, for $10 what have you got to lose? if you dont have a deck, get the sacd or cd

Picture the scene, its but a few seconds away from midnight. The lights are low. The wife and baby are sound a sleep, and my usualy energetic dog is lying at my feet. Sonny meets Hawk! is spinning away on the platter and in one hand i have a fine aged havana cigar, and the other, a crystal glass containing a fair measure of 20 year old single malt scotch.

Does it realy get any better than this?
