can't really settle....

I love Funcadelic - Fundadelic - which is '70 I think

but I also love

Lullabies to Paralyse which is 2005 ish....so.....

Like a LOT of late 60's to early 70's rock. More what we'd call garage or stoner rock now - .... so Stooges etc. But also like Dirtbombs - a modern band.

Or even stuf like Kyuss from the late nineties...

In orchestral circles my fave recording is modern and digital.... Rattles work with the Berlin Phil throughout the last 6 or 7 years.....particularly his Brahms stuff in 2008.... great sound.

And yet again - i've found myself strangely drawn to records i HATED in the 80's !!! Phil Collins !! Fer crying out loud - I used to LOATHE that stuff... but I've recently foudn a new dimension to the textures in cheesey stuf like "In the air tonight".... I've even finally come round to appreciating what I used to consider some of the worst sounding recordings- Steeley Dan !! - despite all those who used to laud over their technical excellence. Well - now I like it !!


must be getting old..

Having said that - I LOVE Tchads mixes of a band I worked on a few years ago ... Little Fish. Sounds amazing.....Not loud, not squashed. So can't really say! I guess I just like the stuff I like .....
