#PeterFrampton is another new addition - this is one of very few live albums I have. I tend to generally not prefer them, but this is one of my exceptions.
Thrift store #vinyl finds today. Currently listening to “The Latin Sound of Henry Mancini” (1965) which has a kind of beautiful stereo mix and enough percussion to make the compositions feel bubbly and fun.
#NowPlaying - the fairly battered thrift store copy of ornette coleman's "free jazz" in which i found a large amount of cash around a decade ago. another LP reanimated by the califone, sounding shockingly bright & wonderful, like it's somehow blurring all the surface noise into something warmer? don't totally get it, but it's awesome. @vinylrecords#jazz
#NowPlaying - perhaps the perfect califone LP that i've found (so far), standards & light pop, the compressed hum melding perfectly with the thick air of the #PedalSteel, or whatever is creating this magick grey zone between lo-fi and high. @vinylrecords
#NowPlaying - getting my head together post-hanukkah with yacht vibed 1983 willie, strings & slick production frankly sounding a bit queasy on the califone. @vinylrecords
This #TonePoet release is stunning. Super quiet background, dynamic, channel separation that really jumps out at you. It actually sounds better than my original pressing, which is no small feat.
My only quibble is that it doesn't have the typical #TonePoet gatefold sleeve with photos, etc. I don't recall seeing a Tone Poet release that wasn't a gatefold.
