  1. What's wrong with that?

     

    I love hearing music in fantastic quality - the music I love sounds much better (to me) on my system at home than on poor quality pc speakers. I can hear all the clear details, everything that's going on........

     

    So does music I don't like - still don't like it, but can appreicate the sonic quality. :)

     

    I'm trying to think if there's much music I became to like after hearing it properly. I bet there is. Need to check!

  2. Thought this was funny.

    Translation of marketing terms:

     

    “Career spanning” > The bits of the artist’s career the label have the rights to.

    “Host of unreleased recordings” > Music rejected the first time around for being sub-standard.

    “Rare photographs” > Photographs you’ve seen before.

    “Remastered” > Louder, with less dynamic range than the CD you’ve owned for 25 years.

    “Remastered by *insert name of artist*” > The artist sat there drinking tea, while a qualified engineer did the work.

    “Remastered from the original tapes, where available” > Most of it isn’t from the original tapes.

    “Complete Studio Recordings” > All of the studio albums, but no B-sides, remixes or tracks from compilations.

    “Personally overseen by *insert name of the artist*” > The artist forgets to include half the rarities and leaves of stuff they don’t like anymore. Label too scared to argue.

    “Previously unreleased on CD” > Until a fan informs them that it isn’t.

    “Audiophile vinyl” > Vinyl.

    “Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl” > So it must be good.

    “Pressed on 200g heavyweight vinyl” > So it must be even better.

    “Vinyl replica sleeve” > Cheap packaging solution (Japan excluded).

    “25th Anniversary Edition” > 24th, 25th or 26th Anniversary Edition

    “Lithograph” > Poster on posh paper.

    “Poster” > Folded 32 times rendering it useless

    “Tote Bag” > We’re getting desperate

    “Keyring” > See ‘Tote Bag’

    “As originally envisaged by the artist” > They’ve changed their mind.

    “Limited Edition” > The label will stop producing it a some point.

    “Bespoke packaging” > You’ll never be able to store it

    “Seminal album” > Album.

    “Landmark release” > Sold loads at the time.

    “Influential” > Didn’t sell much at the time.
