You’d think I’d have something better to post about by now
Recent acquisitions:
The Carpenters – Singles 1961-1981 Super-Audio CD (5.1 DTS, oh yeah)
Awesome audio quality. The first time I ever had to use the ‘Convert 5.1 to stereo’ function in foobar2000’s DSP. I had to rename the files to dts to get foobar2000 to play them. The first time I ever thought: 700MB for one album is worth it.
My parents first introduced me to the Carpenters. Pretty good 70s pop, with some really memorable tunes (The Wedding Song and Close to You especially). This album doesn’t have the Wedding Song (the best one they ever made, with Close to You coming a distant second) but it’s got lots of songs I haven’t heard before. I’d kill (well, scrape the skin of the neck) to hear the SACD version of The Wedding Song.
Hmm. I don’t think I have any other acquisitions I want to talk about.
EDIT: The Carpenters’ best song ever is here! (The Wedding Song) I love this song because it’s got an incredible soaring vocal near the end of the piece. It sounds awesome… true 70s pop love and cheese… download it on the right. I was thinking of putting a 5.1 DTS rip up here, but I don’t have the DTS rip of the Wedding Song plus it might just bring Randall’s servers to a screeching halt.
