3 CD box set bought by me from Fopp on Saturday for £5.00 new. 75 tracks. Most of them rather wonderful. One buyer wrote as follows: “This anthology provides 3½ hours music , or 75 titles with Muddy Waters and his band mostly from the beginning of the fifties. If you are familiar with the […]
We are told ….. ‘Live at Ronnie Scott’s’ offers the listener a wonderful souvenir of a sold-out, two-night stand at the beloved venue by boundary-shattering guitarist John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension, recorded in March of 2017. In the 4th Dimension – Ranjit Barot (drums, konokol), Gary Husband (keyboards, drums), and Etienne M’Bappé (bass) – […]

It’s somewhat of a mystery why vinyl can sound more dynamic when in fact it is more compressed. Much has to do with the technical measurement versus the perceived measurement. The meaning of dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest sounds. The bigger the gap between loud and soft determines the technical dynamic range number of a recording […]
Seems to me the more complex the system the more I tend to approach its operation as if it had a mind of its own. I often think of equipment as being somewhat temperamental which causes me to approach with caution. As devices get “smarter” anthropomorphizing them seems a natural consequence. For the briefest of […]

GARY L writes … One thing to mention about Nyquist Theorem, is the “at least” part, which is often overlooked. If your at the limit (half the frequency of the sample rate) and the sampling lines up nicely with the phase of the recorded frequency, then yeah you get the full amplitude of the sine […]
Paul McGowan: When it comes to the recording industry there are no standards. There are, however, personal standards for each company. Take Octave Records for example. Working with DSD is always going to be a challenge with compromises, but so too is analog. In fact, the only analog process I know of without compromise is […]
What’s happened? Sonos first announced a subwoofer back in 2012, and while the device has been through a couple of generation upgrades, the striking square design with its central cutout has largely remained the same. The company then announced the Sonos Sub Mini, which as its name suggests, is a mini subwoofer. It doesn’t replace the original Sonos Sub, […]
It’s just a wee little thing but Arylic promise much from this low-cost wireless amplifier Firstly? May I humbly ask the question? Is it possible that the company name may have been a wrong move to begin with? Especially as the world’s regiments of spell checkers will be determined to change the company name from […]
JK writes … Noel Redding, originally a guitarist, always wanted to do his own thing. He was a good musician, but didn’t have the originality of someone like Jimi Hendrix. Even while, he was still in the Jimi Hendrix Experience, he formed his own band Fat Mattress, who opened some shows for the Experience. When […]
When done correctly mastering, recording, and mixing are more art than technique. Just ask our own Gus Skinas. And the art is in the listening (perhaps nothing too surprising to us audiophiles). Another master of the arts is our good friend Cookie Marenco of Blue Coast. She, like Gus, and everyone at Octave Records relies upon […]
“Matriarch music” is how Bjork defined her work earlier this month. Appropriate, then, that the Icelandic experimentalist’s 10th album, Fossora, opens with a pounding, ritualistic tribute to her late mother (“atopos”) and ends with a stunningly tender hymn to her nest-flying daughter (“her mother’s house”). On the weird and winding journey between those two points, […]

On the final night of their first American tour in over two decades, art rock pioneers Roxy Music started at the beginning. They appeared on stage at The Forum in Los Angeles and launched straight into “Re-Make/Re-Model”, the eclectic, experimental song that opened their self-titled debut album in 1972. Behind them, towering screens showed the […]
