CHBB (Liaisons Dangereuses) - 4 Cass. Eps 1981 (now with '85 demos download) Somewhere I once heard a really shoddy quality mp3 rip of the cassette series from 1981 by CHBB (aka Liaisons Dangereuses). Four cassettes, one track per side, all called "untitled," all running 5:00 (if you believe...

I love lots of that stuff. But yeah, I love it more when it's in stereo.

Pair or Etymotics have had to do the trick for me, for now. Once I'm settled in somewhere a bit, maybe. But even then, I doubt I'll ever become a real gearist--I just want clean, even reproduction and my ears aren't good enough to tell the quality of sound beyond a certain point. Ever...

Ra is "that ill," I just can't help thinking how much more so it could be if it'd been cleanly recorded in a simple but nicely spread stereo staging. I'm not obsessed with shifting pans and whatnot (although they are pretty cool on like stereo Stockhausen or Dockstader electronic stuff from the...

Thanks Jenks, Benny. Hope you liked it all the way through. Next one is going to be a little more. . . careful? focused? I think.

Interesting tidbit from Scientific America via Wikipedia: people knew stereo was better for reproduced sound even in 1881:

I'm hardly an audiophile, though I do generally find "lo-fi" as an aesthetic/intentional recording method (via boombox mic or whatever) to be a bit put on. I listen to plenty of recordings released on 78 (or even wax cylinder) and can certainly accept the flaws added by the ravages of time--but...

I'd guess somewhere around 8-10. Next mix I plan to scale back, do more direct manipulation/remixing/dubbinb rather than just letting things form a soup in more or less their original forms. . . I go back and forth on a number of sections, and sometimes the whole mix. Not sure if the King...

Not to seem to beg--but I would appreciate feedback on this one, as I'm still tinkering with it.

Liked the self-titled album a good deal, found 'Poses' lukewarm (and Alanis-level awful when he tries to go "rock"). I dug the 'Bolero' quote in the opening track of 'Want One,' but haven't felt it was worth following him since. You're saying I should, then? To me he seemed to be mucking up...

I know, sort of why it's a great example of my explanation of why I can't really take my own judgements about thievery too seriously--because I hear what they did and think "great work!"; I hear what Kanye did (with them) and think "boring". I don't worry myself that it's a matter of racism...

Interesting take. But does it sort of reaffirm that those absorbing "down," as it were, in financial terms (which often equals power terms) can sort of do no wrong; while those absorbing "up" (from a marginal economy to a dominant) have a crime to answer to. I'm not sure that's even wrong per...

Kanye West's use of Daft Punk is disrespectfully bad. . .

If it seems to tired, then we won't bother. . . But I'd wager Dissensians might be a contentious lot with regards to the question at hand, so. . . I'll nominate a few for discussion: David Byrne/Talking Heads Paul Simon Fela Kuti Adam Ant/Adam & The Ants Joni Mitchell Bjork Antena Bow Wow Wow...

Can't wait to read it. Hope you asked him why his discs are so bloody impossible to find. . . ; )

Neat!

Alright, another by Rambler. Can't wait. . .

So, are the 'I Love ZYX: Italo Disco Collection" sets worth checking out, or are they filled with the lower-rung stuff? Volume 1: Volume 3:

I've had one of these for years and loved it: http://cgi.ebay.com/100-GB-MP3-Player-External-Hard-Drive-Xclef-Ipod-case_W0QQitemZ290113710514QQihZ019QQcategoryZ73839QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem However, I've never much used the line-in recording. Still, it records at up to CBR...
