I don't know, but his CD is only $4 on Amazon

u/BTsBaboonFarm · 19 pointsr/vinyl

Here's a few that I have and love

Dave Matthews Band - Crash: All analog master and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at MPO. Some bias, because I'm the resident DMB fan on r/vinyl, but this is a perfect release and what every band should model anniversary vinyl releases after. If Radiohead had done this with OK Computer, it would have been 1000x better; missed chance. Anyways, this is a must have for any DMB fan. $30 on Amazon

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik: All analog cut. Not sure if Bellman did this or Grundman himself, but it was cut at BGM. Maybe one of the best sounding remastered albums in my collection. It's extremely detailed and "revealing". Definitely recommend picking this up, both on the quality and the music itself - one of the best albums of the early 90's. $30 on Amazon

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium: Another all analog mastering and cut RHCP album, this one by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray. All versions (original, deluxe, and reissue) use the same stampers. It's a rarity that a 2006 album was recorded analog, so it's wonderful they kept the vinyl AAA. Full bass, and a really detailed high end. Highly recommend if you're into the band, it's a steal at $33 for a 4xLP

Nirvana - In Utero: Released for the album's 20th anniversary, this was a direct metal mastering and cut that used the albums original cut and contains a bonus disc featuring alternate mixes. There was also a version released in 2013 with all alternative mixes and was also all analog. Both are great and fully dynamic, though I prefer the original mix. Whichever mix you prefer, go with that version, you won't be let down.
$50 shipped (lowest available) for the 20th Anniversary release | $25 for the 2013 mix thru Walmart

Nirvana - Nevermind: Bernie Grundman mastered this one himself, and keeping with the theme from above this is all analog as well. Maybe the best album of the 90's, this is (in my opinion) the ultimate version of it. This master was released by ORG in 2009, but it was released again from the Geffen label using the same stamper in 2013 and pressed at Pallas. $24 on Amazon

Van Morrison - Moondance: This is the 2008 release, mastered and cut analog by Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray at Acoustech and pressed at RTI. There's a really good discussion about this remaster and specifically the mix of Into the Mystic over at the Steve Hoffman Forums. $18 on Amazon

Phish - Junta/A Picture of Nectar/Lawn Boy/Rift/Hoist: All of these Phish albums are fan-freaking-tastic sounding. Bellman did them all at BGM and used all analog sources and cuts for each, minus Rift which was cut from hi-res digital files. All can be found at Phish Dry Goods for $50 each. A bit pricey but well worth it IMO!

The Beatles - 2014 Mono Remasters: If you want the ultimate, most true to the original, Beatles releases; this is what you want. These are all analog and do everything to mimic the UK first press releases. There's always good debate about Mono/Stereo for The Beatles, but there's no debate that these are top notch releases. You can buy the whole box for ~$350 or each release individually for $15-$25 each if you search for each on Amazon

There's really an endless amount of good, affordable, new records with great sound. Check out Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi/MFSL), Analogue Productions, Analog Spark, Music Matters, among others. MOV also does great work, though they generally use hi-res digital rather than tape to cut from. Also, look for the mastering engineers I mentioned above - Chris Bellman, Bernie Grundman, Steve Hoffman; plus Kevin Gray, Scott Hull, among others

I have the first NOW, I wonder if it's worth anything as a collectors item. Here's the tracklist

u/cranphi · 5 pointsr/Reds
u/callmeceez · 5 pointsr/TheStrokes

For whatever reason it took me until last week to buy Comedown Machine on vinyl even though it’s been around $12 on Amazon for the longest time, but now I can say I finally have all of the main releases. Yay me.

With the exception of First Impressions of Earth (which is the red marbled reissue from Newbury Comics) all of these are first pressings. My pride and joy is the Hard to Explain US 7" single pressed on clear vinyl. Once I finish collecting all of the singles I plan to try and hunt down all of the variants I can. Wish me luck.

u/mushpuppy · 4 pointsr/Music

When I first heard this album, I was at a time in my life...How to explain this.

My parents had died when I was very young. My mom died last. I went to live with my grandmother. 6 months later she died. I lived on my own until I got through high school. Then I went to college, struggled with grief. I fled the States, lived in Paris for a while. Met my first wife on a Greek island. She died not long after we married.

I went to law school, to try to make something of myself, to become someone she might have respected. I was a shell. I don't know how I survived it.

This album, Achtung Baby, and the soundtrack to Until the End of the World seemed like all I listened to for years.

This always will take me back to those days, the grief, the solitude, the healing.

What a mystery life is.

u/DarTHCidious · 4 pointsr/vinyl

So far the only real issue I've experienced with mine is the mastering on Zero, everything else sounds good.

Kinda a deal - only hit $55-60 a couple of very short times on Amazon. Typical sales are in the $70-75 range.

There was also a one-off sale a Canadian site had around $45 shipped, but I wouldn't expect that to come back any time soon.

He's been singing for quite a while. I could take it or leave it, honestly. I think it's a nice thing the Reds are letting him do considering he'll probably retire after this season.

u/GooGooGajoob67 · 3 pointsr/TheStrokes

Yeah, I saw that when I was originally Googling about this, which is partially what had me so confused. I bought it here from one of the marketplace sellers, so it's probably the US issue.

What song makes you inexplicably happy?: The Mamas and the Papas - Make Your Own Kind of Music

This song was on an episode of Lost, and I had to track it down and download it. It's an old, old song that makes me that cult-level of calmness and peace and happy. Like, people about to drink the kool-aid calm.

Elation!

Edit: Funny true story; I totally made my kids sing If You're Happy and You Know It today during our reading of The Hunger Games because they were all reading with their heads down and I couldn't tell if they were sleeping or not. The more we sang, the more annoyed they became, but the more the heads began to pop up.

Yes, I'm using the school internet right now to enter contests. It's my lunch break. What of it?

You might want to keep an eye on this set from amazon.ca. The price has been fluctuating over the last few weeks, usually staying under or over $50. I've actually seen it hit $36 at one point. Right now its $48 with free shipping which is ok considering shipping from the states might cost more because its a box set. Good luck!

Buy a new physical copy from amazon, and it include the digital mp3s (via their auto-rip program) immediately.

You'll then be able to re-download whenever you want from their servers / stream from their servers / etc.

Hi Mo! Alright, 8 interesting things....

  1. I have a degree in opera performance. But I don't sing professionally.
  2. You know the little piece of skin/tendon that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth? I don't have one of those.
  3. Due to the previous fact, I can do some weird acrobatic things with my tongue, including rolling it into a tube upside down.
  4. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
  5. I want to work in event planning & management.
  6. I have been to 25 states, and 22 countries. I want to get to all the states, and I definitely want to go to more countries.
  7. I have double jointed hips.
  8. I rock climb.

    I love RAoA because you guys are so nice and it's an awesome community. It's my favorite place on the internet.

u/redtheda · 2 pointsr/ifyoulikeblank

Lost in Translation and Blade Runner are two of my favorite films, so I think I feel you. If you want urban, nocturnal and dreamy you can't do much better than David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, and also Lost Highway. (Not as good of a film, but definitely has that kind of mood.)

I think because you like Blade Runner, you might also enjoy Until the End of the World. it's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's very dreamy and contemplative (dreams are a central theme). It ends up in the Australian outback, but before that there are a lot of European "city at night" scenes. It's by German director Wim Wenders, and if you like it, I'd recommend the rest of his body of work, especially Wings of Desire. Unfortunately you can't get the DVD in North America, but there are some European versions, and you can rent it on Amazon. It also has an amazing soundtrack. Another good one in this kind of vein is The City of Lost Children, a French film. I'd also recommend Terry Giliam's Brazil, especially if you like dark humor and surrealism. (I'm a big Gilliam fan personally; I also like 12 Monkeys, The Fisher King and the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus as well.)

You might also like the late 80's - early 90's "yuppie noir" subgenre typified by such films as Bad Influence, Bright Lights Big City and Less Than Zero. Bad Influence specifically is one of my favorites, and the soundtrack definitely has that "dark urban" feel to it. The movie American Psycho was kind of an homage to this era/subgenre, ten years later, though obviously a lot more violent.

Trainspotting, Magnolia and Requiem for a Dream are all nocturnal, dreamy and urban, but they will also fuck your shit up, so fair warning there.

As for music, I'd strongly recommend Morphine, The The, Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Jane Siberry, Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Mazzy Star, the Cowboy Junkies, and Zero 7. Some of Depeche Mode's stuff would fit the bill as well, I think - "I'm Waiting For the Night To Fall", "One Caress", "But Not Tonight", "Sweetest Perfection", and "Death's Door" (which not coincidentally is on the Until the End of the World soundtrack).

TV shows are a bit harder. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment are both short-lived scifi shows - Brimstone and Max Headroom (the drama, not the talk show). You might like Six Feet Under as well. I'm eagerly anticipating Frank Darabont's L.A. Noir TV show, whenever it comes out.

EDIT: Something else occurred to me: You might enjoy The Crow if you haven't seen it already. It's violent, but also dark, urban, moody, and contemplative. (And the soundtrack is awesome.) Also, The Crow 2: City of Angels was savaged by the critics and it is of course an inferior film to the original, but if you can shut off your brain and forget that it's essentially a rehash of the first film, visually it's a beautiful, gothic, dystopian take on L.A. at night (it was directed by Tim Pope, who directed many of The Cure's videos).

I have two albums on my music wishlist right now, but would love this one.


Honestly, I love those kids bop, or that's what I call music cd's. I know everyone makes fun of them haha, but I enjoy the music on them. I'm not sure if that means I have terrible taste in music, but oh well. They make me happy :D

From your list, as AWESOMELY AMAZING the LOTR stuff is, I think I have to go with this album because Mumford & Sons is absolutely THE BEST newer band out there. I loves them.

As for me, these are under $20 including shipping, but I need them for my Mrs. Peacock costume. :( If you add this headband, it would be right AT the $20 mark AND finish off the things I need for my costume, which would be fan-fucking-tastic! :D

Well, not a CD but the last physical copy of anything I bought was a white vinyl of Portugal, The Man's "In the Mountain in the Cloud" album. It was at a free show in Seattle in this old school record store. I found out about it last minute through a friend and decided to go on a whim. Turns out they were giving out free beer too! and you got to keep the glass!


After the concert they had a meet n greet thing with the artists and they were selling merch. My buddy wanted to get a shirt so we waited in the merch line and I noticed how long the meet n greet line was, probably like 2-3 hours. I also noticed the band getting ready to go over there and the last copy of the white album vinyl behind the counter. I loudly told the cashier that I wanted it, the band heard it and looked over at me, I acted like I just saw them and quietly started talking to them. No one around me even recognized them, I thanked them for the show and they offered to sign my vinyl, which now hangs in a frame on my wall.

[This] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DKY4LBW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=34WN0I6I3XW6Q&coliid=I3TNY5D9QPDY3F) is something on my WL for under $10!

Coincidentally the song I was going to recommend was: I Wanna Be Yours by the Arctic Monkeys

Oh man, that sucks. I just recently learned that the quality of any remaster is heavily dependent on the individual that actually did it... I narrowly avoided a Nirvana remaster that was basically ear-garbage thanks to Amazon reviews. I also waited on Kezia-X for the same reason. Let the band know (maybe by email?) and hopefully this won't be a $50 learning experience for you.

I'm also super disappointed that the Kezia remaster sucks! Damn. Who does it say it was remastered by?

Edit: And for the record, 45 RPM isn't that strange. The majority of my new issue vinyls are 45, including my Volition. I actually only have one 33 1/3 (QOTSA - ...Like Clockwork). I got these numbers backwards (my turntable has the speed buttons mislabeled)...

Yes, 45 RPM heavyweight vinyl is sort of an audiophile thing, I believe. My Queens of the Stone Age heavyweight 45 RPM sounds amazing (my best-sounding record by far), so it's disappointing that the Kezia-X one couldn't be as well. I was excited when I saw it was going to be premium quality. Too bad it's not premium sound engineering.

That is a pretty impressive reissue. I remember getting that album when I was 13 or 14 as a double CD. I will say that the $90+ price tag on Amazon put its definitively into the category of a very-big-fan-only release.

eighties!

hah, I'm hanging out in TT right now, so my newest earworm (and obsession) is Sail by AWOLNATION. Which is good, because before that, I had Spice Girls stuck in my head, thanks to this video.

I heart her so much!

u/phil098 · 1 pointr/vinyl

exactly, i totally agree, but i feel that they make "limited" coppy's to show that the band dose in fact still have "hardcore" fans, or they just get kocky and think its all special and price it to fucking $500 or something (still pretty pissed that the smashing pumpkins:Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness remake is nearly $80 on vinyl, I MEAN LOOK AT THAT,AND IT'S NOT EVEN A LIMITED, OR SPECIAL EDITION COPPY!

? Did you not understand my post or asking about the album?

u/paradoxikal · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

There are some used, prime copies of this that are under $5 :)

Here is a picture of 50 of my many DVDs. I cropped some out for accuracy, lol

Well, if you had actually been arsed to do these once a week you could've been here a long time ago!

u/arachnophilia · 1 pointr/vinyl

would you pay $90 for it? because it was in fact reissued.

it's kinda pricey still, but i got mine free with rewards points, along with the aeroplane flies high. it has the original tracklist/order, is a beautiful box set, and is a better pressing than the original (which i also own).

Oh definitely dude, both great albums! Also heads up, the vinyl for Comedown Machine is only $7 right now on Amazon if you're into that kinda thing and dont already have it. Shits a steal

u/Nowherefan · 1 pointr/vinyl

I just looked up Broken Bells on Amazon, and they seem to have some cheaper listings there

Transatlanticism also has some cheaper listings here

Also, I just bought Emergency and I for $40.00, which I thought was a decent price, but I guess I was wrong

u/unclejessieshaircut · 1 pointr/VinylDeals

In the Mountain in the Cloud is also sub-$15 right now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052T7I4A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

I guess it's not much of a discount but still a good price for my (personal) favorite PTM album.

Alternative music, work sucks

u/Prince_Squirtle · 0 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I don't really have a favorite band, but I've been listening to a lot of Queens of the Stone Age lately in anticipation of their upcoming album, ...Like Clockwork.

Oops. Music is LIFE!
