OK I know this is really a MC forum so where do you guys all go to talk albums / music ??
Whats hot on your listening currently...
What unusual discovery or gem have you found this year...
What most surprised you etc...
To kick off I am discovering a lot of fusion sounds between world music and electronica / remix world that really work for me for repeated listening and satisfaction.
One really nice pickup in the last couple of months was Alien Soap Opera out on ElectroMelt... Really great fusion sound and a really nice quality recording too... In fact the Melt and ElectroMelt catalogue is one worth checking out if you like world / fusion / surprises / etc...
Looking for reccomendations in this vien...
Also off the wall stuff I would like reccomendations on :-
Taiko (kodo ??) Drumming... Looking for something with
really powerful sound... Anything recorded on DTS etc even better !!! Something to really test the system and check those 'reference' levels !! That will teach those neighbors not to park in my spot !!!
!!!
Oz Aborigional band (kumba kimbi ??) made a fusion song around 94 or so 'deam again' or dream time etc.. Looking for something that has more of a mixed studio sound than live (as that song did) anyone know anything about them...
Anything not too cheezy done similar with N American indian sounds...
Anything in the way of labels / artists / whatever...
Also who among us collect multichannel recordings... outside of Steely Dan and The Eagles
what has really grabbed you in multichannel or high rez recordings... Any unmissable Chesky discs ??
