These works have been well served on disc, from the classic Rostropovich/Richter to the recent Schiff/Fellner (both on Philips). This set certainly belongs among the great ones, and it offers sonics of breathtaking naturalness and realism. Pieter Wispelwey and Dejan Lazic work exceptionally well together. Two strong-willed artists, everything that they do serves the music, not least in the three sets of variations, which are chock-full of personality and clear delight in Beethoven’s early compositional virtuosity (the set based on Handel’s “See the conqu’ring hero comes” is especially impressive).

This album really didn’t get the attention it deserved. All of the songs are amazing from Chicago’s hit Hard To Say I’m Sorry to Love At Second Sight all of the songs are special. Though i prefer The Best Of Me with Olivia Newton-John, this version still great. Continue reading “David Foster – The Best Of Me (1983) {1984, MFSL Remastered, CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip}”

Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin’s first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at the time. Not only did the short amount of time result in a lack of original material, it made the sound more direct.

Play On Words – a musical and lyrical masterpiece with Sara K. on vocals and four string guitar, makes its way through a number of styles, such as country and blues, and invigorates these rather staid genres with a new content and meaning.

Sarah Brightman – Eden (1998) [2004, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sarah Brightman - Eden (1998) [2004, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sarah Brightman’s 1999 release Eden applies her rich, supple voice to 16 tracks that range from classical to pop to haunting ballads. The album features “Il Mio Cuore Va,” Titanic’s “My Heart Will Go On” sung in Italian; “Scene d’Amour,” the theme from The English Patient; and “Nessun Dorma” from Puccini’s Turandot. Brightman’s pop side emerges with tracks like “Dust in the Wind” and the Richard Marx-written and -produced “The Last Words You Said.” Eden’s wide range and Brightman’s beautiful voice are a winning combination.

Sarah Brightman – La Luna (2000) [2004, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Sarah Brightman - La Luna (2000) [2004, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Broadway star Sarah Brightman lends her ethereal, angelic vocals to another combination of classical and pop, resulting in a solid, stirring collection. This outing, the ex-Mrs. Andrew Lloyd Webber adapts Rachmaninov (“How Fare This Spot”), Beethoven (“Figlio Perduto”), and Handel (“Solo Con Te”) alongside the brothers Gibb and Simon and Garfunkel. The uncanny thing is how canny Brightman is at bridging the contemporary with the classics so that they seem timeless.

After debuting with 1973’s excellent but neglected Show Your Hand (later reissued as Put It Where You Want It), the Average White Band switched from MCA to Atlantic and hit big with this self-titled gem. Upon first hearing gutsy, Tower of Power-influenced funk like “Person to Person” and the instrumental “Pick Up the Pieces” (a number one R&B hit), many soul fans were shocked to learn that not only were the bandmembers white — they were whites from Scotland.

Neil Young – Discography (1968-2019)

Neil Young - Discography (1968-2019)

After Neil Young left the California folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation. Young’s body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth, and he was able to sustain his critical reputation, as well as record sales, for a longer period of time than Dylan, partially because of his willfully perverse work ethic.

The Criteria for the selection of releases by the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, is nothing less than what all audiophiles demand from their own reproduction systems. In addition to a broad frequency response, negligible signal processing, and quiet, clean presings, a truly 3-dimensional stereophonic effect is mandatory. It wasn’t difficult then, for me to select a our premier release, The Mystic Moods Ochestra’s performance of “Emotions.” Continue reading “The Mystic Moods Orchestra – Emotions (1968) [1978, MFSL Remastered, CD-Quality + Hi-Res Vinyl Rip]”

“Cosmic Force” was surrealistically recorded in 1973, nearly four years before anyone had even heard of Star Wars. One of my associate producer, who has spent years in Space himself (hmmmm), brought this concept to earth in musical form. To him, the album represents all that there is, there ever was, or there ever will be.

Kriya – Kriya (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Kriya - Kriya (2006) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Talk about crossover! Kriya recorded their album in Finland, the songs are mostly translated from the original Sanskrit to Finnish, & the music generally sounds to me like a mix of Indian, Irish & Finnish. There are English translations printed of the lyrics, but this is another of those graphic failures where the background art or photography obscures the type & it is often unreadable. There do seem to be some connections between East Indian Sanskirt & Finnish, though I don’t know the details. Several of the songs have traditional Indian lyrics.
