One down side to having a higher quality HiFi system at long last is that some of the music I have so enjoyed listening to previously now sounds a little rubbish! A good example being early Blur, (lots of Indie actually!). Conversely I find myself listening to whole albums that I previously ignored if they are well produced, such as a couple of Tori Amos's more obscure works, and both Gorillaz albums.
Its a shame that more bands do not show more concern regarding the production values in their recorded work. I guess thats life though, and as long as it sounds good on the radio (or I suppose nowadays off the computer at 128 kbit) they will sell the record anyway. Shame for those of us who care about Hi Fidelity though!
I would love it if people could name the best produced albums in their collection, as I have been enjoying listening to all sorts on my setup, and would like to start buying artists/styles of music I have previously ignored if they are well produced. I would also like some classical suggestions, as I am a complete classical newbie and wouldnt know where to start, but would love to try.
Thanks in advance for our suggestions everyone.
ps setup referred to is the living room part of my sig ;-)
