RE: Trying to get back into jazz

Posted by Raymond Leggs on July 5, 2012 at 14:55:13:
The sound of those audio recordings is as palid and dry as the music your trying to get back into. No way a recording can sound THAT polished through natural recording.

Audiophile Equipment manufacturers are paid to demo and promote this "music" at thier shows and in magazines. They even "voice" the equipment to sound thier best on these recordings.

Free yourself from trying to get back into music that no longer satisfies you get out of the Audiphile music only mentality and try some good modern music.

Listen to some, Iron and wine, Isobel Campbell, Sleigh bells, The cults, Florence and the Machine, Propellerheads, Massive attack, Chemical brothers, crystal method, Gotye, Kimbra, MGMT, Minus the bear, Armin van burren etc..
