lemonstar Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 A solid album for the summer - windows down on the car - layers of guitar parts and harmonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandad Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I've already mentioned elsewhere that I regularly practice with my imaginary Lazy Country Jazz band and have been composing a playlist. One song I looked at was 'Going Up The Country' by Canned Heat. Browsing Youtube I came across this: Remarkably similar sentiment & format! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box set of their five albums on CD, all in neat looking card gatefold sleeves, with a sixth disc of B-sides and non-LP tracks. €16 from the local supermarché. Had all the original LPs when I was a kid. “Zenyatta Mondatta” and “Synchronicity” still sound great to me. I had a friend that worked for a top hi-fi shop in the 80's and I remember going with him to deliver and set up a system in a small stone barn with 2 floors - it wasn't a huge place - maybe 10m x 5m - he was showing off a pair of Linn Kan speakers - relatively small speakers but able to handle a lot of power. He used a couple of special audiophile vinyl pressings of Police albums - UHQR, heavy weight vinyl and/or half-speed masters - to show off how they handled the incredible punch and dynamics of Copelands percussion and Strings bass - the albums were Zenyatta and Ghost In the Machine - my friend made us all sit and listen in the dark and you could feel the drums and hear the stereoscopic effect so clearly - to this day I can't remember a more outstanding listening experience for volume, clarity and sheer detail (other than Tangerine Dream when I was at the front of the Dominion Theatre for the Logos tour) - the hi-fi system was an expesnsive one but the recordings are incredible.

Bet that sounded amazing! I had “Ghost In The Machine” on earlier, just with headphones on, and even allowing for my tinnitus and hearing loss it still sounds great to me. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me to dig them out and give a spin. Zenyatta is 50% good but quite a bit of filler IMO. Never really cared much for Synchronicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 This is on 6music at the moment - Valerie June "Call Me a Fool", gets quite a few plays there. And deservedly so. She mixes up country, roots and soul to great effect. Probably more soul on this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
