Flesh + Blood suggested that Roxy Music were at the end of the line, but they regrouped and recorded the lovely Avalon, one of their finest albums. Certainly, the lush, elegant soundscapes of Avalon are far removed from the edgy avant-pop of their early records, yet it represents another landmark in their career. With its stylish, romantic washes of synthesizers and Bryan Ferry’s elegant, seductive croon, Avalon simultaneously functioned as sophisticated make-out music for yuppies and as the maturation of synth pop. Ferry was never this romantic or seductive, either with Roxy or as a solo artist Continue reading “Roxy Music – Avalon (1982) {2003, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip}”

Ryan Adams - Gold (2001) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The album remains Adams’ best-selling album, certifying Gold in the UK and going on to sell 364,000 copies in the U.S. and 812,000 worldwide.

Ryan Adams – Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Ryan Adams - Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Rock n Roll is the fourth studio album by Ryan Adams, released on November 4, 2003. The album features the hit single “So Alive”, and includes guest appearances by Adams’s then girlfriend, actress Parker Posey, former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bass player Melissa Auf der Maur, and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. Adams describes the album as “the most rock thing I have ever done,” and notes that in spite of the album’s mixed reception, recording it was “fun as fuck.” Continue reading “Ryan Adams – Rock N Roll (2003) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Roger Waters – Ça Ira: There Is Hope (2005) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Roger Waters - Ça Ira: There Is Hope (2005) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Roger Waters, the man who equated “education” with “thought control” in his pseudo-opera The Wall, is now back and appealing to higher culture in his new opera Ça Ira. Moreover, this is a real opera, with singers, a chorus, and an orchestra with not a single dreamy, overlong electric guitar solo in sight. Fans of Pink Floyd will find little in Ça Ira to satisfy their jones for “the Floyd,” although there are many standard musical features associated with the classic rock staple group that have been carried over into this work — crushingly slow tempi, somber and monotonous singing, and a mania for pristine recordings of sound effects. At one point, a volley of musket fire makes you jump out of your seat. Continue reading “Roger Waters – Ça Ira: There Is Hope (2005) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Olivia Newton-John – Come On Over (1976) [2011, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Olivia Newton-John - Come On Over (1976) [2011, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Olivia Newton John’s Come on Over is country tunes, folk ballads, and more. Her own arrangement and adaptation of the traditional “Greensleeves” is exquisite, haunting, and shows Newton-John is more than just a pretty face. Her hit catalog was already nine songs deep, and “Come on Over” was the tenth of close to 30 visits to the Top 40 in a 14-year period. Fred Rose’s “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” and a cover of Dolly Parton’s classic “Jolene” open and shut side one with the country side of things while the Diane Berglund/Jim Phillips composition “Pony Ride” is more of a piano ballad Continue reading “Olivia Newton-John – Come On Over (1976) [2011, Japanese SHM-SACD, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

With Breakfast in America, Supertramp had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for four weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide; by the 1990s, the album had sold over 18 million units across the world. Although their previous records had some popular success, they never even hinted at the massive sales of Breakfast in America. Then again, Supertramp’s earlier records weren’t as pop-oriented as Breakfast. The majority of the album consisted of tightly written, catchy, well-constructed pop songs, like the hits “The Logical Song,” “Take the Long Way Home,” and “Goodbye Stranger.” Supertramp still had a tendency to indulge themselves occasionally, but Breakfast in America had very few weak moments. It was clearly their high-water mark. Continue reading “Supertramp – Breakfast In America (1979) {2018, MFSL Remastered, CD-Layer + Hi-Res SACD Rip}”

Marvin Gaye – The Marvin Gaye Collection (2004) [Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Marvin Gaye - The Marvin Gaye Collection (2004) [Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

The high-end audio format war (DTS vs. DVD Audio vs. Super Audio CD) still didn’t have a clear winner in 2004, so to ensure there’s some Marvin Gaye to pump through your expensive tube amps, Universal issued The Marvin Gaye Collection in a Hybrid Super Audio CD. There’s a confusing history behind the collection, so get your flowcharts out. Originally this set was released in 1997 as Forever Yours in a DTS-only mix (you couldn’t play it without a DTS decoder) that brought the “Legendary Surround Re-Mixes” to life Continue reading “Marvin Gaye – The Marvin Gaye Collection (2004) [Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

Bryan Ferry – Boys And Girls (1985) [2005, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Bryan Ferry - Boys And Girls (1985) [2005, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Having at last laid Roxy to bed with its final, intoxicatingly elegant albums, Ferry continued its end-days spirit with his own return to solo work. Dedicated to Ferry’s father, Boys and Girls is deservedly most famous for its smash single “Slave to Love.” With a gentle samba-derived rhythm leading into the steadier rock pace of the song, it’s ’80s Ferry at his finest, easy listening without being hopelessly soporific.

Weather Report – Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Weather Report - Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Night Passage is the eleventh album by Weather Report, released in 1980. The tracks were recorded in August 1980 at The Complex studios in Los Angeles (before a crowd of 250 people who can be heard on a couple of tracks), except for “Madagascar”, recorded live in Osaka, in June of the same year. The album introduces a new member to the band, percussionist Robert Thomas Jr. Night Passage loses the over-done production layers of some of Weather Report’s earlier releases (most notably 1978’s Mr. Gone). What is lost in layers of overdubs is made up in solo improvisation in the classic jazz tradition. Continue reading “Weather Report – Night Passage (1980) [2018, Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

The Doobie Brothers’ third long-player was the charm, their most substantial and consistent album to date, and one that rode the charts for a year. It was also a study in contrasts, Tom Johnston’s harder-edged, bolder rocking numbers balanced by Patrick Simmons’ more laid-back country-rock ballad style. The leadoff track, Johnston’s “Natural Thing,” melded the two, opening with interlocking guitars and showcasing the band’s exquisite soaring harmonies around a beautiful melody, all wrapped up in a midtempo beat Continue reading “The Doobie Brothers – The Captain And Me (1973) [2011, Japan Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip]”

The Allman Brothers came first, but Lynyrd Skynyrd epitomized Southern rock. The Allmans were exceptionally gifted musicians, as much bluesmen as rockers. Skynyrd was nothing but rockers, and they were Southern rockers to the bone. This didn’t just mean that they were rednecks, but that they brought it all together — the blues, country, garage rock, Southern poetry — in a way that sounded more like the South than even the Allmans.

Gaucho is the seventh studio album by the American jazz rock band Steely Dan, released on November 21, 1980 by MCA Records. The sessions for Gaucho represent the band’s typical penchant for studio perfectionism and obsessive recording technique.
