just listening to a chronological NIN-compilation (in HiSP):

- pretty hate machine

- broken

- fixed

- the downward spiral

- further down the spiral (the live version of hurt just sends shivers down my spine)

- the fragile (both sides)

- with teeth

I was hoping to fit 'with teeth' on it as well, but space is limited, even with 1gb... and I won't accept lower SQ for higher quantity... so no 'teeth', as I actually like the older work more

*edit... looked again at the disc and realized I still had space left, so added 'with teeth'

I saw NIN a couple of years back in 013, a small club in Tilburg (Netherlands) with "Atari teenage riot" as opening band, right after their percusionist was put away in psychiatry (again)... that evening counts as one of the hardest and best shows I have ever witnessed

I saw NIN on the Rock Werchter festival this year and was suprised. Very good show. smile.gif

I saw them at Werchter the same year as the show in Tilburg (must be at least four years ago, but can't really remember)... and even though I did enjoy their performance at the festival, I couldn't help wondering whether they actually played their instruments, as most of the show seemed prerecorded

in a club NIN really shines, as they seem much more 'at ease' and they dare to take risks and improvise (which is always nice as it proves they are actually playing and not just mimicing)... as I said, 'hurt' semi-accoustically live in a dark club with only one pale light on Trent just lowers the room temperature by 10°C -> goosebumps all the way

BTW: I missed Werchter completely this year, as I had still 'some' writing to do on my thesis (I had only just begun writing at that time actually sleep.gif )

That is true for most bands, I think. Only the Marquee (tent) at Werchter has a club feeling to it. Festivals are especially nice to see many "large" bands you normally wouldn't by a ticket for. One major exception: Radiohead at that festival two years ago (best concert I've ever seen). Luckily, the Werchter festival always has a number of fine less famous bands playing in the Marquee. Some of my finest musical moments were in the Marquee smile.gif This year I saw there Elvis Costello, Tom McRae, Interpol and the Belgian Heroes Zita Swoon and Admiral Freebee, for example.

BTW: I missed Werchter completely this year, as I had still 'some' writing to do on my thesis (I had only just begun writing at that time actually  sleep.gif  )

Hehe, me too, but I decided that Werchter >> Thesis. sleep.gif

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

Briljant album! thumbsup.gif

I wonder what the guys come up with for the next album, I've heard they're recording right now (?).

Anyway, I've just refreshed the contents of my flash player (not a MD, but technically speaking the output - music - is the same happy.gif )

Most of the albums are encoded using Lame --alt-preset standard (vbr).

In my NF520D and NF610 I am listening to one each of my 15 X 80min discs which I am circulating through my collection of 6000 tracks ripped from my CD collection. These are a collection of mostly Christian Rock, Worship, Jazz, Classical, Blues, and a lot of 70s and 80s Rock. Transferred from MP3 (196) to LP2.

On my NH600D I am currently listening to "The Lord Of The Ring" trilogy audio book ripped on to a 1Gb HDMD @ 48 bits.

On my RH910 I have some HI SP recordings taken from a digital audio tv station (Contemporary Christian Rock), some from a Christian Internet Radio broadcast, and MY FAVORITE recording of my (and my wife's) unborn child's heartbeat, through a Doppler examination an into my Reactive Delta mic.

Cat Power - Moon Pix (1998)

American flag

He turns down

No sense

Say

Metal heart

Back of your head

Moonshiner

You may know him

Colors and the kids

Cross bones style

Peking Saint

Cat Power was the alias of Chan Marshall, a Southern-bred singer/songwriter whose father Charlie was an itinerant pianist. After dropping out of high school, Marshall found herself in New York; performing under the name Cat Power, she was booked as the opening act for Liz Phair, where she met Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and Two Dollar Guitar's Tim Foljahn, who agreed to become her backing band. Following the release of 1995's Dear Sir and 1996's Myra Lee — both recorded on the same day — Cat Power signed to Matador for 1996's What Would the Community Think?, which won acclaim for Marshall's unsettling, emotional songs and cathartic vocals. The superb Moon Pix followed two years later, and in the spring of 2000 Cat Power resurfaced with The Covers Record.

Next Generation by Gary Burton.

Although I got it just two days ago, I've taken to it. It is very accessible.

I recorded in SP (on a deck) and I'm playing it on an NH1. Generally, I like the sound of the NH1 but I have been very (pleasantly) surprised with the NH1 sound reproduction for this album - it is really really good. I guess that the production engineering on this particular recording must be very good.
