So far the WOW track is Lay Your Hands On Me. They captured the power of the drums in way that the whole room fills with drums, powerful. My speakers got a good work out with that track.....

Zappa promoting the London Symphony Orchestra album. Not many copies of this album were ever produced, he also mentions that I was recorded in digital :) Frank Zappa Late Night with David Letterman June 16, 1983 |

Around 1981, some studios starting using digital tape machines, reel to reel digital tape. Most notably Madonna's Like A Virgin was recorded using digital tape by Nile Rodgers, one of the creators of the disco band Chic. He really did a nice job in the early 80's with digital tape recordings, he became a very sought after producer.
That Madonna album is one of my best sounding CDs.....Until hard discs became affordable for studios, they continued to use digital tape, Sony was the big leader in digital recording in the early 80's. My biggest problem with digital tape was the bass suffered and the sound was generally thin, compared to traditional analog recording where the low end was more full and robust, gave a bigger sound.

I never could get into Gabriel's solo work - I have most on cassette, and as such, occasionally listen to them in the car. There's some great stuff throughout but I just never bit-the-bullet and acquired the vinyls.

^ I don't think it's bad but it's quite a shocking album after GFTO. I imagine some people never accepted the sudden change. I still haven't heard Love Beach.

^ Take the plunge - give Love Beach a try. Ignore the bozo lyrics, enjoy the music. There's a bit to enjoy here - but don't compare it with the 'classic' stuff. Don't even look at the cover whilst the album is playing through, it's not half-bad. Tormato is better, and then Genesis' ATTWT is better still, but this is 1978, and these guys tried to adapt. Some more successful than others.

^ I will eventually. I saw copies of it a few times but because of the cover I was too embarassed to buy it ATTWT is probably the best of the three. Speaking of late 70's drastic what do you think of Led Zeppelin's last album? I really like it and don't find it as bad as many people say.

I just bought the last two Zeppelin albums, Presence and In Through the Outdoor. ITTOd was one of my favs, I love Fool In the Rain and Carouselambra...In the Evening has that Houses of the Holy feel to it. I never connected much with Coda, the very last Zepp album, although I will buy the new vinyl reissue to complete my Zeppelin set.

Most of it is just OK, it's very much not prog (which I don't care about) and heavy pop/indie/alternative pop/rock. Some of the lyrics are really good as he is such a good writer. The musicians on all the albums are stellar, the music is good well played...but a lot of the content as a whole is just OK..PG IV is where he really came into his own and you started hearing it on PG III, plus his voice became that raspy recognizable PG voice on III and IV. Having these on vinyl and remastered as they are has made me appreciate some of it more....It will probably take several spins of all to really appreciate his work on these untitled solo albums, I have more patience now as I am getting older.

I used to have most Zep albums, now I'm just down to III and Prescence. I don't really care for them much these days.

Zeppelin is part of my early metal days history, they are essential to my collection.....I have moments with Zeppelin.
Plus these new vinyl versions just bring back the nice big beefy analog days of yesteryear Edited by Catcher10 - November 01 2015 at 15:45 |

This is such an elegant record, a departure for them that worked beautifully, shamefully scorned by fans. |
