Acoustician-dad-in-law took one look at the old stereo setup in the apartment and cringed, so now there's a KEF/B&O/NAD/Apt/Holman/Nakamichi/Advent/Dolby/Ariston/et c. two-racks-wide monstrosity with four power amps, commercial-install power sequencers, a Sony broadcast monitor, outboard Dolby boxes for the cassette decks, and two turntables. In an apartment.
So I've been going back and listening to all my old vinyl recently, and, um...uh...er...
...I still think the
second a-ha album, "Scoundrel Days", is one of the most underrated albums of all time.
Aside from embarrassing 80's stuff, my favorite 'new stuff' is all at least a year old, but it's what I've been listening to lately, along the lines of:
Alpinestars "White Noise"
The Faint "Danse Macabre"
Panjabi MC "Beware"
Primal Scream "Evil Heat"
etc.
...while anxiously waiting for a good 'rock' album to come out, and I don't mean "The Darkness".
