It absolutely staggers me that this album will be 27 years old in 2025.View attachment 8174View attachment 8175

My copy has just arrived with Amazon and I am listening to it now. I have those speakers in my second system.

What are the 100s like compared to the RX1s? I had a touch of Gear Acquisition Syndrome and was looking tentatively at modern bookshelf speakers just to see what is available 15+ years after I got the RX1s.

Moon Safari is a great album. It sounds like a silly statement for an Electronica band, but it really does seem like an album that wants to be analogue.

My 100's are a few years old but they are excellent speakers I wouldn't change them. The RX1's are also excellent speakers they got demoted to another system not that they are bad very far from but the 100's did cost quite a lot more so there should indeed be a difference. I like MA speakers I got some Bronze 2 but sent them back as they are not in the same league and sounded quite tinny by comparison. The Moon Safari is indeed a brilliant album.

That's not spinning.
You may note this is in the Turntables and LPs sub-forum. 🙂

1987 / 8 was Carlos at his peak as far as his guitar playing goes in my opinion playing very bluesy stuff at that time.

To be fair I much prefer his earlier work.

To be fair I much prefer his earlier work.

He was a bit reckless in the beginning around the Woodstock era made a lot of mistakes notes wise in concert lucky he had good band backing him up. He took a while to get his mojo and a lot of band changes happened because of that. I saw him live at Wembley arena in 2003 and instead of playing music he was giving political sermons in between songs which really spoiled the show in my opinion although I do like Santana music and have quite a lot of their music like yourself I prefer their earlier stuff. When Gregg Rolie and Neil Schon left to form Journey Santana's music changed it was after all Gregg Rolie who said to Carlos lets record Fleetwood Mac's Black Magic Women which in fairness is one of their biggest hits. Sorry for the sermon.

Camera Obscura “Under Achievers Please Try Harder” Elefant pressing (2023). I have both the original and this recent pressing; both are solid

Just realized I am not going mad.
Before the Lambrini girl I did a clean and play of Talking heads.

Lambrini girls.

Then B52s

Which brings me to tonight.

Squid.

Not as glow in the dark as I hoped.

Think their new album needs buying. Reminds me of both of the above.

Bought this and Achtung Baby (U2) earlier this afternoon at the local record shop - Boiler Room Records.

I've owned this album in multiple formats over the years and it's probably my most listened to album of all time.

It's a cracker for sure. My second best unplugged recording ever.

Well that's a teaser of a statement - what's #1 on your list?

The Pearl Jam one is on my "must buy on vinyl" list, but a decent priced one on Amazon for some reason won't ship to my address, even though it appears to be stocked in the UK.

I've got the Clapton one in mind too and, much to the harm of my enormous street-cred, A-ha, whose performance in Norway is brilliant reinvention of many of their 80s-90s classics backed by an orchestra.

Funny that my no1 would be Clapton, and sod my street cred.... 🙂

Another live performance here, and a truly stellar one. Portishead live in Roseland NYC. Snazzy red vinyl too 😎

It’s on again.

It's a great album and looking forward to seeing her live again in just over a week.
