    Freakin' awesome track. Don't thank me.....thank Jonny. This was his suggestion to me from a month or so ago. Should sound great on SDA's!

    Ok, not Audiophile, but dang this brings back memories for a GenXer who spent time in the Dance Clubs of 1990.

    30+ years of owning this CD and I never knew they were a German Eurodance project! 🤣

    How does this sound so good? Recorded low budget in a Toronto suburb garage with a single microphone! 🤯

    I should mention: their "Trinity Session" album has a similar great sound, but it was recorded in a church so it has a more open feeling. They are both worthy of audiophile demo status.
    Overall, the stereo imaging that is produced from this Calrec Ambisonic microphone is unlike anything I've heard, especially the way the percussion hits you. Worth a listen.

    Bill, I have 3 or 4 of their albums. They do get regular rotation. That said, I don't have the MFSL album that you showed. Hopefully, I will be able to stream it between Tidal and Qobuz. It won't be the same recording but it should still sound decent enough.

    I think you will find their 1st and 2nd albums sound much better than the later stuff.

    Honestly, I don't even know the issues I have....or when they were released but that's good to know. Thanks.

    The Trinity Sessions and
    Lay it Down

    These are the three I have. I'll have to look up when they were released...

    Tom, the one I shared last night is their 1st album. The Trinity Session is their 2nd.

    That might explain why The Trinity Session gets the most play. I'll order the first one.

    Perseverance. Had to wade deep back into ComputerAudiophile, rebranded as AudiophileStyle to remember how to extract the sacd ISO from the disc using my Sony BD player...

    It was worth the effort! The DSD master of this surpasses the redbook version by a long shot!

    It's been a stint since I pulled this one out. Glad I did. The difference in the rig between the last time and now reveals a whole other layer of music within the music. Pretty damned good recording! That, and I am a fan of her voice. She is a great Alto with a unique raspiness to her vocal cords.

    Ron Carter: Golden Striker
    In+Out Records LP 77133-1 {2LP set; recorded October 30, 2016 live at Theaterstübchen, Kassel, Germany; released 2021}

    Plopped this down on my newly-acquired ReVox B795 with its Ortofon OM 30 cartridge and piped it through my SDA CRS+ speakers to achieve aural bliss on a Sunday afternoon.

    I got to see the Maestro with his Foursight Quartet (Renee Rosnes on piano, Jimmy Greene on tenor saxophone, and Payton Crossley on drums) at the Blue Note in New York City last year. Brilliant!
