Some recent tracks I’ve been listening to of late ( Content warning: Chill Synthwave).
OK, WTF MATE.
Just when I thought everything was cool you say you’ve never heard of Porcupine Tree.
Next thing you’ll say is you’ve never heard of Blackfield, The Pineapple Thief, or Lunatic Soul.
And just to flood you with stuff to listen to, a few of my favorite PT songs:
Shostakovich, Elgar, DeBussy, Ravel, Beethoven, Sibelius, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn take up a lot of my time, apologies for my ignorance.
Who?
Is that like, some hip-hop thing?
Super group of southern rappers from ATL. Trailblazers for OutKast and Goodie Mob.
@AudioTool, so this all gives off a very chill, laid back vibe, sounds great with the VO. I like the instrument layering that Porcupine Tree throws in with piano and acoustic guitar.
@ProfFalkin, I’m proud to say that I have at least heard Blackfield before!!
The late, Eva Cassidy : Live at Blues Alley
And an awesome mastered 180 LP. , Songbird
Fantastic! Live at Blues Alley hit the spot this morning for me. Thanks for that.
These are all on the Canadian citizenship test.
I just happened to be playing my favorite Canadian hip hop band when I read your post:
SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! @ProfFalkin Check this album out on your Empy’s let me know what you think #uplifting #bass #vocals #electronic #Fuck2020FeelGoodMusic #turnitup #rad-0 #pendant #oxytosin #getyours
But, I would have to take off my VC and turn off the Pendant…
Ok, fine, gimme a min.
Hehehe
It may sound incredible on those too. I am on Pendant and Rad-0!
Can I try it with Starlett and VO?
Ya for sure! I will throw on the VO w/ Pendant and listen now too compared to the Rad-0 @perogie
EDIT: on the VO with the Pendant I lifted the sub-bass/mid-bass with the Schiit Loki to taste for a more visceral experience. I prefer the entire album off the Rad-0 vs. the VO going to throw on the Aeolus I think that could be the sweet spot of the dynamic drivers I have on hand with the Pendant…
Additional Edit the RAD-0-Bifrost2-Pendant just crush for this album the planar bass with the smooth treble of the RAD-0 just sound right on, then the Aeolus then the VO for my ears right now. Although the vocals of the Aeolus sound pretty sweet. I suspect if I moved to the other room and put the VO with the Elise it would be sweet.
The RAD is apparently supposed to be a very good planar pairing for the Starlett.
Im not a big electronica guy, but I didnt mind this album at all with the brief jumping around it I did. Not a bad way to relax after an 18 hour shift.
I listened to it a few times on Sunday and you came to mind. I was soooo lost in the music that I forgot to post it. Awesome album!
for sure, I think some tracks are a bit more laid back and trippy compared to others are a bit more intense. The RAD-0-Pendant-BF2 just enveloped me and pulled me into the music. Sounds like I am going to have to check out the Starlett @perogie
@MrCypruz my brother! It’s a good one for sure. What pairing did you like with the album headphones/amp/dac etc?
Preferred: HMS+TT2+WA33+VC
Second best: HMS+TT2+WA33+1266 TC
VC with the BE2 solid lambskin pads and a great tube amp are a trip brother!!! Never had so much music enjoyment in my life.
