Mr Dunes didn't catch on right away...until it dawned on me that I was listening to his music on waaaaaaaay too low of a volume. I cranked it up and there it was! Zing.
Funny though because that usually only happens when I buy old or used cd's.
Also works the other way y'know when you put on an album, just like any old time, but here you experience the sensation of standing behind a speeding jet engine screaming in your face. Complete destruction. The 1997 remaster of Raw Power will certainly do that to a person who just finished this Amen Dunes album fx.


And it is those older recordings that I love most .Wink

Really they have the best fidelity to me .far less compression. 
I was listening to midnight oil's deisil and dust (1988) today and then put on the prodigy's'' the fat of the land" and that volume knob I just about had to do a 180 with. LOL 
I appreciate the differences just like our opinions on solid state amplifiers .Wink

Feel better Mr. Clease and pick up those headphones ya hooligan. LOL


Thanks Nick

The first two Prodigy albums are by far my faves...but not because of the fidelity rather the sounds and feel of them. I think of those albums as electronic dance punk - especially Music For The Jilted oozes this anarchistic stiff middlefinger to 'the man'.

I stayed home frome work today. My back sounds like a soda, seriously. Very sparkling and noisy.
Lots of time for music though:
Art Zoyd - Symphonie pour le jour où brûleront les cités
Gösta Berlings Saga - Ex Et
Fläsket Brinner - Fläsket
Funkadelic - Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow

For me it's more likely I'll stop enjoying one album. Sometimes even if you still have the same opinion you can expose it in a different way. By the way, do you still hate "In Through The Out Door" with passion? Tongue I always find it a good listen, maybe because I'm a big fan of JPJ and he has the spotlight on that one.


Since Saturday:
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement II
Porcupine Tree - On the Sunday of Life (First time I actually heard it on a Sunday. Great trip as always Cool)
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans (I still have the impression that nothing happens on the second side.)
Telegraph - Mir
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow
La Coscienza di Zeno - Il Giro del Cappio (While waiting impatiently for the new album Embarrassed)

Hi Sam. I just spun "Out Door" again to see if my feelings have changed over time and, in this case, they have not.  I still find the album to be a hugely deflating experience just as watching the 79 Knebworth footage is for me. 

In my little universe, LZ concluded their career with the glorious "Presence." 

Not that I didn't go see The Firm when I was a teenagerLOL.  It mostly sucked, but I was about 3rd row center with a pretty girl on my arm, so I wasn't complaining that night.

Jim’s rockin’ the Firm today. I have nice memories of the Firm too, None of them involve women though, unfortunately.
I got the 45 of Radioactive because I loved the b-side ballad “Together”. I taped the whole album off my friend’s copy. Nowadays, I have both of the complete albums on LP. Still nice for occasional listening.

As for the LZ album ITtOD, I fall on the “pro” side. Though I do laugh upon remembering someone on another forum referring to it as “Outhouse”.

Today:

Magma | s/t
Negativland | Points
Karlheinz Stockhausen | Hymnen
Ty Segall | Freedom’s Goblin
White Stripes | White Blood Cells

Well, while I  was stuck at the Firm show, you were probably watching D Boon and Mike Watt tear it up, so you got the better end of the music deal!  Therefore....I get the date LOL.  The other thing I remember about the show is getting knocked on  my arse by a big guy in front who was a bit out of control.  My date had to rescue me off the floor.  Jimmy played a very long White Summer seated at the front of the stage, playing that black and white guitar. 

White Blood Cells!  Love several tracks on that one.

First listen to White Blood Cells. Very very solid album.

Funny you should mention the Minutemen show I went to. I actually had tried to get a date to that show. REM were the headliners (Fables tour) and they were one of my favorite new bands. I really liked this girl at school and asked her to the show but she couldn’t go (school night, yeah). So I went with my dad. He kind of liked REM too so it wasn’t that out of the blue. But the Minutemen opening? That was a head scratcher. But I was intrigued and immediately bought their albums after the show. Soon they were my favorite band.

Sorry for wasting your time LOL I started respecting the album a bit more after reading the story behind it, I'm sure Plant needed this distraction after the accident. At least it's not bad because they sold out, it's a more honest failure.

I only heard a couple of songs from The Firm and let's say I didn't feel like exploring more Tongue That seems like a nice evening though Smile


Yesterday:
Astrodome - II
Superfjord - All Will Be Golden
UFO Över Lappland - s/t
Emily Remler Quartet ‎– Take Two
Deuter - Aum
Agitation Free - Malesch
Mort Garson - Black Mass

^ No waste, Sam, it was fun!  I appreciate the reminder to try old albums again.

But your comment, are you referring to his son's death?  Or the bad car crash?  Because I think the car wreck was actually during the Presence sessions.  I remember reading about Plant singing from a wheelchair on Presence.  Although I suppose the accident effects could have lasted all the way to Out Door too.

^ let's not overlook Nobody's Fault But Mine & For Your Life.   Not to mention the fact that Plant was recording with a shattered foot.

Presence simply slays me beginning to end.  Perhaps nothing earth-shatteringly original or musically daring for the lads, but the endless grooves and the aggression.  Then, at the end, the slow-burn leads of Tea for One to  chill you out.  It's also very cohesive. Some of their earlier great works jump around in style and force, but Presence all sounds like a complete, cohesive work.
