Lo siento.</i><br /><br />It may be an age thing. When CDs first came out, I found them unlistenably harsh and cold. Now that I'm older, I simply don't really hear a lot of the higher frequencies, I think...although vinyl through a good system still sounds better than most CDs. (And don't get me started on 78s!)<br /><br />That said, I sold most of my 6K or so records over the last decade, so I obviously don't care that much....Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-66498583061849241682009-06-09T08:24:10.844-07:002009-06-09T08:24:10.844-07:00Well, this is totally new to me.

Next one, @ 4:23 is a lot more musical - a more digestible interplay between the voices. Ahh - suddenly introspective and blusey @ 7:10. Love the counterpoint. <br /><br />The whole analog vs digital nuance is lost on me.

Play it off a CD or a flac, but noooooooo lossy compression!<br /><br />Just point people to the Amazon page for Nancarrow and tell them no record collection is complete without it!<br /><br />BTW, the correct pronunciation of his last name is Nan-crow, not Nan-ca-row.bruceyhttp://www.amazon.com/Nancarrow-Studies-Player-Piano-Box/dp/B000031W5Anoreply@blogger.com
