It's impossible to choose only 16 between two people. I can't even do it for myself. I would love to add all of the ones on below either for how much I love them now, or how much they meant to me at one point. Still mostly Brexit though. Pulp - Different Class The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars* Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish Suede - Dog Man Star The Libertines - Up The Bracket* New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies The Beatles - White Album The Clash - London Calling The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation Primal Scream - Screamadelica The Strokes - Is This It. *Prefer them albums to Aladdin Sane and Libertines self titled album, which I currently have up.

Amy Lawn Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Nothing wrong with having the horn for the music that was being made in your neck of the woods around the time you were in your teens and 20s (plus the odd classic). But to play devil's advocate; you appalling xenophobe. Actual on-thread business here. I found a loophole in my "no vinyl until the new year" rule and pre-ordered the upcoming LC! album, released in February. I've also pre-ordered upcoming vinyl pressing of 65dos' Destruction of Small Ideas, which should drop later this month. However if it takes even half the time it took for the No Man's Sky soundtrack to actually materialise, that'll be in the new year as well.

Amy Lawn Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Destruction Of Small Ideas and One For All Time by 65dos arrived. Destruction on at the minute, sounding wonderful, never heard it like this before, Montreme are doing an amazing job with the 65dos catalogue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thearg Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I haven't listened to vinyl since upgrading my amp this summer,my old Rotel amp just kept on cutting out so after much reading I thought I'd go for a Yamaha av reciever,boy how things have changed,what a great bit of kit,bluetooth,spotify,internet radio and dolby surround sound blah blah blah,anyway I got it for less than half the original price as the next model was coming out,the only trouble is it doesn't have a phono stage so today I finally got round to buying a pre amp ( funnily enough that's the only difference in the latest model,it has a phono stage),so what I bought was a Cambridge azur pre amp and also Ennio Morricone 60 years of music Lp and an old copy of Woodstock for twelve quid,anyhoo gave Ennio a listen and apart from being a great album the sound just far suppases what what I've been used to,even the theme to The Mission which normally sounds cheesey to me was good, I should've upgraded years ago but hey ho all sorted now,my only gripe is with my setup is is the Pro ject turntable,all though it sounds great and is far better than anything I had back in the nineties it has a belt you have to manually put round the turntable and I keep on pinging it off and when trying to put it back on I knock off the counter weight,aghhh! I wish I'd got something else! But yeah loving getting into movie soundtracks,a friend of mine put on LOTR lp the other day and I've got to get that,although a bit samey,basically the same song for two hours,enjoyable none the less So any other soundtracks I should listen to/recommendations?

I hope this is the sort of dangerous radical the snooper's chart will help put away for good. That sort of thinking doesn't match our shared values and has no place in society.

Mardy Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 14 hours ago, Scruffylovemonster said: Sorry to contradict but laughing len has just beaten him. just came here to post how you want it darker is one of the best sounding vinyls I've ever heard and saw your post. Neil young levels of audiophilia. Need to think on it but it may be replacing live at the cellar door as the best sounding album I own. shits on others I've raved about such as iggy, bill Ryder Jones. even black star. It sounds like he's sat on my window sill. @Mardy you need to own this. Morning Been very frugal recently, not bught much vinyl recently, but ordered that LC a while back, although the delivery date kept shifting. Funnily enough, it arrived at my folks yesterday. Won't get to hear it for another few weeks though, as I'm not flying back to the UK till just before Christmas. Got a few other things waiting for me there, a Stanley Brinks record I'd been after for ages (The one that starts with 'Hi Jane'), that Arab Strap compilation and the new Ultimate Painting. Oh, and I saw a copy of the first Grinderman album in a shop here yesterday. Might go back for it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say the sound is fantastic, especially at lower levels as my last amp was a bit shit for that. Have it hooked up to the TV, turntable and PC.

As you said its great at the lower levels when some amps seems to be all about making the sound great when really loud but when you want something soothing early on a Sunday morning and have neighbours you need decent sound at lower levels.

Gnomicide Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Son is getting floor-standing speakers for Christmas. Up until now he's listened to all his music through headphones. Luckily, for the most part, he has pretty good taste in music so it shouldn't be too bad but he is getting a couple of Radiohead albums . Mother, the soundproofing!

I believe this is obligatory: 1) offspring listening to radiohead through headphones 2) offspring listening to radiohead through floor standing speakers 3) Pablo Honey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
