Try the Analogue Production one, you will not be disappointed. But obviously, it´s very different to free.

A member of open-end-music forum sells his 2000+ LPs and voilà - he has the AP pressing of Waltz for Debbie. Hope I get it next week. 

Cheers

Hi together,

AJS, you were right. This pressing sounds fantastic and communicates musically.
Finally, LaFaro plays a reall double bass here, and not a toy instrument - and what he plays is in time and in tune! Paulo was right too, this recording is a fascinating musical experience.

 

Thanks for your patience.

 

Cheers

Don't want to bore you with my personal stories, but the last weeks were challenging, hifi-wise.

Shortly after the system sounded as good as never before, following units broke down within 2 weeks:

1. Mythology Zeus turntable (motor control, new programmable motor control is in the make, fortunately the Airpax motor runs meanwhile until the new control is finished with serial resistor and phase capacitor)
   
2. Mythology Zeus turntable (motor control, new programmable motor control is in the make, fortunately the Airpax motor runs with serial resistor and phase capacitor)
   
3. DAC had noise and distortion on one channel 8 weeks after end of warranty (now under repair)
   

Unrivaled: Brutus showed occasionally blue light but did not work -> repaired itself after a little exorcism  

Cheers

Auto repair? Mr. Joaquim didn´t put that in the specs list:) Must update:D

Compared now the "Mikulski" version of Waltz for Debby with the AP and found, that the piano lacks completely the nuances, bass has no weight and all percussion, particular cymbals sound glassy and unnatural. The subtle rhythmic structures have vanished. Shame on that pressing, as the good 320 kbit/s MP3 versions on spotify are much better in every aspect!

 

....


Two recordings I regret to have only on CD. They were both released on vinyl, but these are very rare and hard to find:

You are most welcome in our forum.

Thnaks for your inputs and sharing.

I will leave some links wich I think will give a some what different perspective on Portuguese music, even if I'm not certain if you are into these kind of "sounds", hope you can enjoy them.
Above all, music should be the nº1 interest of us all, I'm sure it is for most.

Tomáz,
Excelente selecção!  

Esse "Fully Connected" dos Micro Audio Waves faz-me lembrar os tempos áureos da Laurie Andersson. Muito Bom!
Os Kolme são (imo) um dos grandes projectos que se fizerem recentemente por cá! Espero que seja para continuar...  
Parabéns!

Acrescento mais um, não só pela música mas também pelo clip.

Hi tomaz,

thank you very much for the heartily welcome and the linklist!

I skipped over some titles and must say - wow, that's a wide spectrum of promising music!
Be ensured that I will look into all of your suggestions!!

New music on vinyl I found yesterday in local CD-store:



Beautiful, lyrical piano trio.

16,50 € incl. MP3-download, 180 g, flat pressing, very good sonics!

They only had a handful of LPs and it seems they stop selling vinyl.

************************

These two albums are not new, and I heard them only digital on Spotify, but the music virtually blew me away:

Are they all single instruments albums?

the first, Weltentraum, is a classic piano trio with bass and drums, the second, "Thirta" is a quote unusual trio with electric guitar, voice and tablas.
Only the last is piano solo.
The Vijay Iyer things are a bit special, partially quite free.

And I love freedom   


I will investigate.   

I learned today that the famous and innovative room acoustics specialist "Vicoustic" is located in Portugal.

Yes, that's correct.

One of the room's in our AAP audio-show in 2013 was treated by them and with excellent results.

Four of the greatest jazz musicians ever (Marc Johnson, Joey Baron, Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny) created in 1998 the soundtrack for a perfect summer:

In this album full of beautiful moments they make no experiments nor have they to prove their skills. The program is relaxed musicianship at the highest level which leads to an stunning intensity of interplay, as if they were only one.
  
As far as I know, available on CD only.

New Vinyl:

New Vinyl:

Don´t know the fist one, but I surly looks good.

And I can strongly recommend one that I have been listening that belongs to my neighbour and good friend Aníbal.

Which pressing?

I want this one:

mannitheear escreveu:

I want this one:

I have the one you want, and I can advice you get the Cisco Re-edition. It is a album and pressing to die for.

Get in touch with Jorge Ferreira here in the forum and try to know if he still has that album for sell, or have a look in his on-line store.

http://farmvinyl.blogspot.pt/

I just had a look, and it's still there.


http://farmvinyl.blogspot.pt/p/boxstar.html


You won't regret it.

Another new LP:



And two used ones:


And an english pressing of this one:

Sounds unwashed almost as dynamic and full-bodied as it should but not at the level of the ELP debut LP.

Audio craziness: I heard yesterday a Complete active system of a very well known British brand of best reputation. Streamer and bookshelf speakers for 20.000 € the complete system. I heard it only a short time and only at a moderate level.
Sound was congested, the voice was not clearly centered, no bass.
Any well selected system for 2.000 could do better...

The audio world is a very complex one. Easy to spend lots of money with very little "audio" return.

Not the video, but the show was in Pratteln near Basel in Switzerland. That's 70 km away.

PS the tour has the same name as the last album Hand.Cannot.Erase.
But there were other songs too and the lightshow of the Watchmaker was very similar to the linked video.
