The pleasures of vinyl...

[raleighnut]

Mr Davis is on my hit list. We had a brilliant trumpet player in my old band, he blew my tiny musical mind wide open.

We all went to bed (tent) at a sensible time but our young trumpet player stayed up till about 4am and was heniously hungover when we hit the stage. But skip to the 1.50 point of this video and you'll see some major Davis style tube tooting from our young friend. This was filmed at Latitude festival and the trumpet playing was the highlight of our set by leagues. Enjoy.

And yes, he was sitting down before playing because he was having trouble standing. Method style trumpet playing

I'm going through a krautrock fascination of almost teenage like obsession. To the extend my band has gone a bit krautrock!

Hope you enjoy the journey.
My Krautrock fascination, as documented in here elsewhere, started with hearing Autobahn by Kraftwerk, this led on to reading about other German bands and Krautrock proper in the music press of the time. Of course Can were mentioned numerous times, then I found two pre-recorded cassettes on sale in The Bon (The Bon Marche, the department store in Gloucester when they were proper department stores) record department, they were Ege Bamyasi and Soon Over Babaluma, from then I was was hooked to the point of obsession too.
I think I have everything officially releasd by Can now except Onlyou, and I have a pirate copy of that. I have a few bootlegs too.
I'd like to hear your band's stuff.

I have a good few Steely Dan LP 's ,but Countdown to Ecstasy gets played the most.
Also an album called Images with pre Space Oddity tracks from Bowie.
Oh and Prince's 12" track called Girl.
I have hooked it up to my old surround system upstairs.
You ought to hear vinyl through that !!
Fantastic

Pops and crackles: A quick wash and rinse in the sink will often make old unplayable LPs listenable again.

Does he attach to QR and drive thru a carwash?

FWIW my cycling buddy has an absolutely eff-off hifi system that cost a small fortune. He also has a huge record and CD collection so one rainy day when we didn't fancy getting wet he, my son and I sat down with a coffee each and listened to five identical recordings, first on vinyl and then on CD. The absence of pops and crackles was less important that I thought it would be but what was fascinating was that we all agreed that we liked the sound of the vinyl more - on classical as well as rock music vinyl records sounded more mellow and rich and less metallic and sharp.

Agreed! Have done the same myself with Naim Nait CD player vs Rega P3 same amp and speakers...vinyl wins particularly with vocals.Vinyl is always more engaging and has that je ne sais quoi if you pardon my French...rock on!

A lot of the difference is due to the re-mastering engineers, try googling 'Loudness war', some fascinating insights.

EDIT - The Wiki entry is a good place to start.
